These are marketed as “sugar free”; yet a glimpse of FIRST INGREDIENT is malt syrup.... a concoction of Maltose, sucrose, fructose and glucose. (Hint, they are all sugars?)
Though not as bad as the infamous Haribo Sugar free diarrhea bears. (I didn’t believe the reviews and ordered a bag AFTER the recall.... 6 bears and 12 hours later, plus a visit to the hospital for severe dehydration, I learned that I shouldn’t completely disregard what I believe to be fantastical reviews)511B6B30-8BDC-4F4B-BE1A-BBA1777D779A.jpeg

This is a video my one of my Wife's musical projects did a while back. It features the ad copy of one of Soylent’s actual ads, and one of my corn cob pipes.

When marketing gets surreal the music does too!

Hopefully we don't go back to those threads from a decade ago when some of the forum members were endorsing the eating of long pig. I sure as hell don't.

I have no idea what I just watched (and the first part of it nearly induced a seizure) but it definitely reinforced my intention to never ingest this product.

So glad you mentioned that! :)

No one will take the bait........No one, since we're all gentlemen.
Thought it was a funny parallel a decade apart. Just that. I don't think there are many of us left from back then. At least we don't have another starcat...that would be worse.
