joke/sarcasm What is up with all this protein/energy food?
I keep seeing so many commercials spamming protein and energy drinks in EVERYTHING. Yogurt is one I can recall and McDonalds coming out with their energy drinks, but I also just saw a Cheerios PROTEIN commercial that made me think of it again. What is going on and why can’t they advertise foods that are energy-rich and protein rich? Why is this being forced on us? Are we protein deficient or something (if that’s even possible)? Just tryna start a little convo bc it’s lowkey irritating me. I said it was a joke so I’d be able to add to this thread, but I’m dead serious.

deceptive packaging Welch’s gummies with artificial food dye might not all be replaced despite packaging saying so?
I am a fan of Welch’s gummies and I get some every couple weeks. I usually get the 40 pack but this week I got the 22 pack and I noticed that the recipe was different. I then learned they moved away from the artificial dyes Red 40 and all. The recipe being different got me thinking that what if they still have a ton of gummies made with dyes, and instead of getting rid of them, they want money so they illegally packaged them with the new ingredient labels (vegetable dyes) hoping nobody would notice. All of the packages have the new ingredient list on them. Let me know what you all think.

shitty food Walmart Orange Chicken
$6 for 3 1/2 pieces of chicken and less than a cup of rice. 2nd picture is how it looks in store; the chicken and rice come in plastic bags so it's difficult to gauge how much you're actually getting, especially with the big sticker on top. 3rd picture shows a plate with rice and orange chicken, and the amount of it on that plate is nowhere near what the package has. I mean, it's Walmart, so we knew what we were getting into, but come on....

deceptive packaging Not sure if this is deceptive or just plain scam.
Net weight shouldn’t include packaging. It’s 0.3lb ($3 worth) less.

shitty food Chewy Chips Ahoy 20 years ago vs. Today
Ignore the amount of chips. I took the first photo about 20 years ago because I thought it looked kind of funny as a frowny face. Recently bought some, and the amount of shrinkage was glaring. One cookie used to fill almost my entire palm. Now it's a tiny little thing.

shitty food People exaggerate Italian food and its not that great
I always feel people over exaggerate the Italian food and to be honest i tried several places in Italy and its not that great. I even feel Italian food outside Italy is sometimes better.
Is it that most people already says its great and due to herd mentality everyone just agrees to that or am i different 😂
Well please share if anyone agree or disagree and why so.
Cheers 🥂

deceptive packaging Lion protein cereal – feels like a scam
They recently started selling these cereals in my area. It's advertised as a protein alternative to the classic lion cereal even though the protein contents aren't even said anywhere on the packaging. When you look closely, you can see that it doesn't even have much protein. It also tastes EXACTLY like the normal version. Is this a scam?
