STOP GIVING THEM IDEAS!!
Because: yeah. If it would sell–and ads could make us feel guilty for not using it–it would appear on the store shelves.
That (about the sanitizing) is certainly true. But that’s surely about whatever microbes transferred from the pet’s mouth to the dish–not about the food itself.
A partially-used can of food in the refrigerator wouldn’t have pet-mouth germs–or maybe I’m assuming wrongly that people spoon the food from the newly-opened can into the pet’s dish and then cover the can and put it in the fridge.
A complex issue, apparently!
No, you’ve got it right. At least, in my view, because I’d open a can of cat food for my cats, spoon it into their dishes, cover the can, and put the unused portion in the fridge. At no time did the cats touch the can.
Yes, I’m another who cannot understand what is so odd about keeping pet food in the fridge. I did it all the time.
You cant get more protein that just meat or protein shakes, etc. Fresh Dog food has quite a bit of veggies in there.
Here ya go:
How did I miss that?
They appear to have ended the campaign at some point, at least I haven’t seen any, but DirecTV used to feature SuperAssholes. I guess that started with the 2013 football season; the most recent example I’m aware of is from 2018.
Here’s a post from when I first noticed them but all the YouTube links are dead.
Looking it up, the big problem with dog food as human food is that dog food has added vitamin K3, which dogs need, but to much is toxic to humans. Ergo the kidney failure.
Saw an article that Freshpet may be violating truth in advertising laws. They claim to use human grade food products, but their manufacturing facilities are “feed grade”, not human food grade. They don’t have USDA oversight and don’t maintain the strict cleanliness requirements for human food.
My only problem with that is that some cat foods are really smelly.
But that was pet food in a can. FreshPet is in a bag. Bagged pet food is usually not kept in the fridge.
They are, and I think that’s what triggers the initial “ick” reflex. In reality, if covered you can’t smell it any more than you can smell anything else in the fridge.
Not so much annoying as perplexing. Why is Dax Shepard and his Beady-Eyed wife treating a crappy Mini-Van like some kind of investment instrument? Makes no sense at any level.
There is Fresh pet that is a moist food in a tube like wrapper like a hamburger chub or breakfast sausage. There’s a few other brands.
It’s meant to be refrigerated.
They are. Which is why I’d usually cover them in foil, secured by an elastic band.
Believe it or not, I’ve actually tasted Freshpet chicken and rice in the tube. It tastes like chicken (heh!), but needs salt. It’s not bad, really. My dog is picky, and she likes it.
Anybody who feeds their dog canned food refrigerates it after opening. It’s on the label, for Pete’s sake!
My husband gives me all kinds of grief about not buying the “fresh” dog food. Our dog is 12 - she’s been eating dry kibbles as long as she’s lived here, with occasional canned added in, or bits of leftover table food once in a while. All of a sudden, he thinks her food isn’t good enough and I should be spending five times as much for the fancy foods.
Ain’t gonna happen. But I suspect if I sent him to buy dog food, he’d come home with the $$$ stuff. Fercryinoutloud - the dog will snack on the tootsie rolls in the cat box!! She’s not all that discriminating!
Witness the proliferation of whole-body deodorants.
I’ve visited people who didn’t bother keeping the cat food in the refrigerator covered; I think they were used to the odor.
For some reason only Lume commercials get my dander up. All the others seem reasonable. Heck, I’ve been known to chuck some anti-perspirant under my boobs in the summer. Good to have a lotion-y product more suited for the job. They do not, however, guilt me into thinking I stink and I don’t even know it. Or that body order ISN’T a sign that maybe you should wash. Lume does that have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too nonsense. “Feel ashamed of your natural smell but also end your shame spiral by using our product while not bathing at all!”
But that only works on women, apparently. Their Mandood product gets silly commercials with guys with dumb Italian accents smelling better naked.
I recently started seeing some “male enhancement” product commercial where a guy is on a golf course, and his driver is flaccid. “This won’t work”, he notes. His impossibly-hot 19 year old caddie offers him the product (I forget, and damn if I’m going to look for this commercial!) and shazzam! his driver is stiff as, well, a metal driver. He’s even holding it suggestively. I mean, seriously, were these written by 16 year olds? Because it sounds exactly like stuff I wrote when I was that age.
And the question I always ponder: since none of these amateur boner pills work, how do they stay in business? How many suckers can they find to buy it? I guess a guy is never going to admit that 1) he bought boner pills from TV and 2) that they didn’t work.
OMG - have y’all seen the commercial where the dudes yank down their pants to show their oh-so-not-brown striped tighty-whities? It’s for Man-Wipes or some stupid name.
