I like to think of these videos as they’re retirement. They don’t have to fight anymore and can live peacefully in their new homes 💕
we’re going to have to call smut ‘lemons’ again, aren’t we?
my favorite part of capitalism is the slippery slope of knock off cereal branding devolving from catchy, colorful names to literal descriptions of what’s inside the box
when youre describing your product as ‘spheres’ youve reached critical mass
No, this is great. Product labels focused more on explaining what the product is than on branding are good. I sure wouldn’t have guessed that some small circular cereal would contain lots of oats if they weren’t called “Fruity Oat Rounds” unless I specifically went around looking for oat-rich cereals.
Also, store brands are great. They’re typically cheaper than name-brand goods without a significant corresponding drop in quality. Maybe they hire fewer branding consultants and run fewer ad campaigns and that’s why they’re cheaper? IDK.
It would all be worth it just for the global running joke of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! knock-offs.
Still waiting for someone to put out “Butter With Chinese Characteristics.“
Memories of Butter
I’m working earlier and this guy comes in and seems anxious. We usually wait until people need help to ask, but he comes over and tells me, “I’m cosplaying Bowser and need spiked wristbands.” I immediately start heading towards the jewelry / accessories and try to strike up some friendly conversation
I respond, “Ah, cool. You doing NonCon at all?” remembering that our local convention is this coming weekend.
He looks at me super seriously and replies, “no, my friends and I are going go-karting downstairs and we’re all dressed up as Mario Kart characters.”
Retail, although very rarely, has its perks.
Jic case you thought I was lying
Sometimes, the world is so full of beauty…
