“The leads are weak!”
“Coffee is for closers, Jophiel.”
No, but I remember always seeing “Color Added” on the box and being disappointed that the color was ALWAYS yellow.
I used those spreads for years, and never realized why my grilled cheeses were so disappointing. Gotta have butter.
Grilled cheese made from Kraft Singles on Wonder Bread with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. That’s an American tragedy.
Whether it’s real or not 90% of it ends up in the trash.
Whatever the Mystery Product is; if the effects last more than 4 hours - you should see a doctor… or… start a podcast. Either way, death is always a side effect.
For a simple example, for many medications, the target market is only people with a particular disease. The Algorithms might be able to make educated guesses for some diseases in some cases, but in most cases, they can just do vaguely-correlated demographics like age, or no information at all.
YouTube’s Project Farm guy did a 13-minute video on non-R-134a refrigerants. It’s also a super-speed course on correctly adding and removing auto refrigerants.
It’s not the tightly controlled comparisons that most of his videos are, but the results point toward lower performance and reduced safety.
You actually thought it was butter??? …They don’t call Country Crock ‘margarine’ even if it is, because today’s thinking considers margarine to be unhealthy. Obviously people still buy and use it… My mother never used real butter ever, she called it oleo in the store but ‘butter’ at home. … I cleaned out her cupboard when she was old and was amazed - she lived alone and had very little company, but the cupboard was filled with empty Country Crock containers. For storing bits of leftovers. Where did they all come from?
Not from my plate. I love the stuff.
That reminds me of 30+ years ago when I used to watch the Sunday morning news programs. It seemed like a lot of the ads were for defense contractors and stuff. I used to wonder about the wisdom of spending so much money to advertise your product to such a small demographic.
Twenty-plus years ago, one of my clients was ADM (Archer-Daniels-Midland), a massive ag processor. Running ads on the Sunday news shows was an important part of our media plan for them, and it was specifically to build awareness and positive impressions among Senators and Representatives (and their staff members) who were on the Agriculture committees, and lobbyists who did work in the ag and food sectors. The clients absolutely felt that it was worth the investment, even if 99.999% of the people who saw the ads were not their target.
I remember those ads. The tagline at the end, “ADM. Supermarket to the world.”
There’s a new eye drop called “MIEBO”
The commercial has a warning -
The exact way Meibo works is not known
The first thing I thought of when I saw the thread title was Marvel Mystery Oil.
I once saw a saran-wrapped package in the refrigerated part of a supermarket, alongside the chicken, beef, and pork. The package said simply
MEAT
..as if challenging you to buy it or identify it.
Do Not Taunt Happy Fun Ball
I got a can of PORK from my Daddys house after he died.
Someone avoiding animal products for whatever reason needs to read labels VERY carefully - a LOT of non-butter spreads use casein, which is derived from milk.
