No labels in the ad - perish the thought! If you can’t tell the difference between cornflakes and bran flakes, you deserve to suffer!!! ---

We so keep flour, masa, and sugar in three identical airtight jars on the counter. If you’re paying attention, you can tell the difference. If you’re not, they are labelled “F”, “M”, and “S” on the bottom. ---

Labels are a good thing for people that have containers of flour, wheat flour, cake flour, bisquik, and pancake batter all together. ---

We keep the AP flour on the counter. The Self-rising, bread, and cake flours are in the pantry in their original containers (inside a 2-gallon zip-lock to keep them fresh and to keep out any stray bugs. ---

The BlueChew commercials. Young ladies, if he’s got to take a pill to get it up, you better ask what’s wrong with your overly exposed cleavage that doesn’t do it for him. Specific ad I keep seeing [seen here.](https://www.ispot.tv/ad/6bYZ/bluechew-no-one-has-to-know-first-month-free) ETA: Must be for their much older sugar daddies 😆 ---

No, but telling your doctor about those medical conditions. and the use of Bluechew, _is_. Consulting an online doctor who just cares about selling the product may not be the best idea in the world. ---

It’s the blue chew\* ad, not the disorder. Same as those other “get it up” ads. Old dude is not gonna be dating 20 something model by ordering the pills. And if he has another medical condition it may just kill him. The commercials are ridiculous. Same as weight loss ads, psoriasis ads, the ads for stuff that remove bags under your eyes. I could go on and on. Ad execs and companies really need to quit the practice of making ads for medical stuff that cannot produce miracles. I only hope most people realize it’s all fake. ED drugs help alot of men, but it doesn’t provide phone numbers for those women. Sorry. (And go to your real doctor for the prescription) - This a terrible name for this product as well ---

Oh, is _that_ what they’re advertising?? Maybe I’m seeing the wrong commercial; the one I’m familiar with just features a bunch of pretty young ladies shaking the bag and saying “blue chew!”. I thought it was something to do with that TikTok jaw muscle-building thing. ---

I suppose you haven’t seen the one with bending down golf club, either? Or the ad for _Rooster_? At least that guy lays it out for real(no not _that_) he just tells what it’s for. ---

Is _that_ what the Blue Chew ads are for? I thought it was for some sort of knock off internet service. Mind, I haven’t actually _seen_ any commercial, just heard them playing in the next room. Kept wondering when Bluetooth was going to sue them. ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > Same as weight loss ads Another pop-up on my tablet games: Lose 50# in 30 days!! The before-and-after videos are amazing! Not only did she lose all that weight so fast, but her skin is tight and toned, not flabby, and her hair is 6" longer!!! All from one gummy a night!! Oh yeah, and these gummies offer “Free Bottle - Last chance today!!!” The last chance has been every day for at least a year. ---

For people that haven’t seen the Blue chew ad, or the limp golf club ad, don’t be so quick to judge those of us who despise them. They’re horrible! Offensive to men, buxom 20 something hotties, and ED sufferers, all at the same time. ---
