If anything in this thread is nasty, it’s the smell of microwaved cat food. Sometimes I’ll put a spoon or two of boiling water to warm up refrigerated cat food, but even that smells. Now I just mush it around a lot to make sure it’s broken up and soft.
I only warm it to room temperature - about 13 seconds. It doesn’t smell much. Fresh Pet reeks! I don’t like the beef one because of that.
The whole thing about dog food and cat food in the fridge … the key word is, “food.” It’s not nuclear waste, ferchrissakes. If it were so disgusting, I wouldn’t feed it to my pets.
We had to do both when our elderly cat was still around. He had a tendency to walk away from his food so, to keep the other two out of his food, we’d put his dish inside a repurposed Chinese take out bowl then put the bowl in the fridge until he’s ready for more.
I’ve asked this of other friends and maybe it’s the type of game I play but a lot, and I mean an awful lot, of those ads are women and getting treated very, very badly by men. Smacked around, cheated on while pregnant, left in the hospital after giving birth with the cute nurse, tossed out in the snow, thrown off of cliff and overboard on boats and left to die. . . who are these ads for? Am I the only one who sees these casual game ads?
At the end, we were feeding Max hydrolized chicken, and it actually smelled good when we heated it. When we were trying to find a single non-allergenic protein, we once tried tripe. Now that stunk. Real bad.
You are more likely to find a half gallon of milk with about an ounce or so in the bottom, and something that looks like “meat-cake” and has no smell at all.
Not enough to drink, better put that back.
Put it back, someone is saving it.
You wondered what incels were doing with their time?
What is up with these little split screen commercials which have some random sport clip on one side and the actual commercial on the other side? Frequently shown during programs which have nothing whatsoever to do with sports.
I’ve only ever seen that on PlutoTV. I assume it has something to do with where they’re leaching their feeds from? I don’t know.
What is going on with all of these song-and-dance commercials all of a sudden? Jardience (sp?), Cologuard…do I really need a musical number to learn about these things?
The worst thing about the Jardiance (thanks Google) one is that the insipid song is such an earworm. I’ll be sitting there, minding my own business, when my brane will chime in with:
“You found the #7 (it’s named after your IQ, you know)”
That last part isn’t actually in the commercial, but it bloody well ought to be.
With all the ads they’re playing, it makes me assume it’s just cheap drugstore cosmetics and makes me not want to buy it.
This. When an ad is run often enough to be annoying through sheer repetition (even if it isn’t already annoying the first time, which it usually is), my default assumption is that it’s a desperate attempt to drown out negative word-of-mouth about the product.
Oh yay, the eye bag commercials are back, this time with even worse audio quality. Or maybe it’s intentional that the volume randomly increases as the spokeslady is insisting these are the hottest videos on social media?
I came here to rant after seeing that stupid commercial for the bajillionth time in a week. If I had control of the clicker, I’d mute it, but spousal unit is the TV watcher - I’m just in the room at the same time. ugh.
That’s a weird commercial in a few ways. The actress is dancing, and then we see the mailman giving his spiel about the product. The camera cuts away, but the speech continues. When the camera comes back to the mailman, he’s not talking anymore, even though the voice-over has continued unbroken.
Maybe I’m just overly critical because that commercial ruined my vacation.

Would airport security even allow any of that on the flight home?
