They're like black ops but even more secret. Also they fight the alien threat, so you get to fight aliens

How do you gently caress this up?! How do you make these kinds of decisions without thinking it through?! I can barely but clothes because I want to make sure I make the right purchase and you are telling me that some people just go full terrorist without thinking twice?

I saw a new food truck parked outside near my house. Following the generic fake old-timey font and "IT'S ANTIQUE BUT NEW" Millenial (so called hipster) craze, it was a grilled cheese truck with fat young bearded and beanied guys behind the counter. On their reclaimed-wood signboard menu, their prices started at $12 and went up. All they sold was grilled cheese sandwiches.

Cool for them and stuff.

quote:

Almost 40 percent of the millennials surveyed by Mintel for its 2015 report said cereal was an inconvenient breakfast choice because they had to clean up after eating it.

So if you're an insufferable millenial twat and need to make a cool million on kickstarter, here's what you promise: Breakfast Bars. But call them b squared. Open with a shot of a sunset over San Francisco for some reason. Add quirky off-interest instrument playing the same four notes over and over. Then promise a device that compresses your choice of cereal, a little milk and a marshmallow into an instant, on-the-go bar that you can eat anywhere. And nothing to clean up afterwards! Oh it comes with an app that lists loving cereals. You will make millions. Explain it's easy to clean (even though that was the problem in the first place), safe for the environment, even if it was made in North Korea, and "stylish". I dont know what stylish means but if your object has rounded corners you hit the loving jackpot

You mean rice krispy treats?

Did you know you can make rice krispy treats with cereals other than rice krispies?

Because I am always amazed that people are amazed when I tell them that.

Alpha-Bits are particularly tasty in marshmallow-bar form, I find.

The advertising machine has convinced people that any kind of food preparation is just too hard for the common person, and requires special gizmos for each dish. It's been going on since the 50s, but I think the infomercial format of the 90s really perfected it.

ive been on raisin bran crunch since it was released. now i just buy raisin bran and mix in a little granola into it

young me would consider this traitorous. i used to love cookie crisp but holy poo poo that stuff is like fiberglass on the roof of your mouth

edit: frosted flakes mixed 1:1 with corn flakes is also good. its too sugary on its own. i tend to mix my cereals now, which makes me think they last twice is long and thus im saving tons of money

Isn't this basically just what lunch boxes are in Asia? Of course those savages don't have an app that goes with the lunch box so it isn't revolutionary as the lunchbox reimagined.

Kudos on finding a way to bring "we made the tupperware fit in the box nicely" into pretentious twatdom.

I lived in an "artists loft" and my neighbor would "reclaim" rusted junk from abandoned buildings and arrange it into piles. Pretty sure his last one was from a toxic site. He didn't take it with him when he left.
