I don’t even know what’s what in the Mountain Dew world anymore tbh. I stopped drinking it when I realized it has raw vegetable oil in it, not because I had a california freakout and did a high level sociopolitical cleansing of demons and evil spirits in our food, but because it leaves that film on your tongue and you can’t taste anything but hypersalted Taco Bell with like 4 packs of hot sauce on it. I figure I have to make the best of the salt rations I have. :shrug:

I haven’t drank MT dew in about 11 years. I notice that film you mentioned in all of them. All soda is pretty gross except Diet Coke from McDonald’s cause they sprinkle fen phen in it.

There is a new proposal to outlaw the sale of foods containing Red Dye No. 3, Titanium Dioxide, Potassium Bromate, Brominated Vegetable Oil, or Propyl Paraben in california.

I find it EXTREMELY ironic that california has legal recreational weed but is considering outlawing candies. Not that weed causes cancer, it's just more that they allow something that is very much forbidden in some other states but yet they're going to regulate candy.

I wonder if this actually would lead to companies removing these substances, or if they would just manufacture special california only candies.

It's similar to California's Proposition 65 regulations that say things that are "known" to cause cancer or birth defects mist be labeled as such. How they determine this when almost everything seems to be linked to cancer anymore, I have no idea. It seems like everyone just ignores the labels anyway. Pretty hard to ignore if they completely remove the products from the market.

They already have recipes for the candies without them - the EU has banned all of them in food I believe. They'll probably just switch to that. It might actually make their supply chains cheaper.

I mean like... why not just do that everywhere, now? Why use carcinogens that have alternatives that aren't cancerrific, seems like there has to be a reason. Maybe not though there's all kinds of things in the world that make no got dang sense

They should outlaw guns and make it illegal for pigs to murder/beat people and also for pigs to sell guns.

Also Chris Pratt. Make Chris Pratt illegal. Or at least replace his face with a warning.

I smoke cigarettes strictly to spite the Chinese government and they keep getting angrier and angrier, which they claim isn’t a valid emotion and just an evolutionary remnant of the primitive black mind. Maybe I’ve tapped into some dormant evolutionary center in their brains and awoken a spirit within them that will allow them to influence more microaggressive taxes in california.

Well I mean if california is paving the way to chemically alter my food (withholding salt) then some rear end in a top hat cop could easily interpret that as permission to add some chemicals so maybe I’ll end up on some heavy sedatives and get shipped off to (or “back to” according to california who can’t tell the loving difference between polish people and Chinese) China.

A parent of a toddler told me about her kid having a reaction to anything with red dye like candy or kid's medicine. I did a little internal eye roll and checked online for studies when I went home. I couldn't find any but there are tons of parents on message boards saying it makes their babies weird. This kid had some red candy at grandma's one day and came home staggering around like a tiny drunk, she's like yeah that's what happens when he eats anything with red dye. Pretty hosed up.

Here’s a crazy thought, a cop has a fake name, which is pronounced “seersay”, like “hearsay”. But the definition of hearsay includes seeing things so he’s a loving idiot for making up an unnecessary name to intimidate a witness.
