That's the kind of slop I used to eat before going vegan.

Maybe one of my more controversial opinions, but these sorts of products should really be classed as drugs since they are entirely focused on producing dopamine release without any nutritional value. Like, other than legal/employment issues, you are way better off using cannabis than eating any of these things stalin-smokin

you are way better off using cannabis than eating any of these things

you are way better off using cannabis then eating any of these things

that's what they're for

[–] SocialistDovahkiin@hexbear.net 25 points 23 hours ago

do people just forget dessert exists that isn't made of processed distilled food-crack? I wouldn't call fruit pie a drug but it exists entirely for dopamine/seratonin

It depends on how you consume it. Edibles, sure, that's definitely better for you, but smoking burns your alveoli and causes a ton of health issues just from being that close to combustion. For vaping, it depends on the vape being used, but some of them will accumulate fluid in your lungs and cause edema or pneumothorax. A lot of the health issues of smoking aren't from the nicotine or additives, but from the combustion.

I boof everything. Healthiest lungs around. don't ask about any other health issues I may have

Just looking at the boxes makes me nauseous.

treatler I will watch the world burn and billions die so I can get type 2 diabetes.

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This aisle looks like type 10 diabetes waiting to break through

Oreo Churros

Has anyone tried these? How bad are they? I'm intrigued by the Yankee Treats

[–] Grandpa_garbagio@hexbear.net 9 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

All this shit is fucking flavorless as far as I've experienced. That's the fucked part about this stuff, is it's bad for you, sure, but it doesn't even taste good. It is bland.

Get some churros or flan from a local Mexican restaurant, if will be 100x better

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 6 points 14 hours ago

Wow treatlerism can't even produce good tasty treats. Instead it's just flavourless, sugary treats.

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 29 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Want to eat the kind of shit you'd see at a county fair, but instead of being made fresh with a deep fryer it's from a microwave?

now with the power of Food Science and Innovation, you can have the ecstatic joy of fair food 24 hours a day, 365 days a year in under 2 minutes at a fraction of the price.

experience the rapture, the glory and the shame without ever being 10' from your toilet.

[–] HamManBad@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago

Solution: buy a deep fryer. Also works as a retirement plan in lieu of a 401k

[–] MiraculousMM@hexbear.net 18 points 1 day ago

I hate that all of these look delicious to my fat high ass

[–] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 24 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

So many treat varieties. How does the US do it? Does each treat have different factory machine with different tooling?

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

i think it's a 3 shift operation. you get 2 shifts (8 hours each, back to back) running a line of treat A. during 3rd shift, they swap out a couple of critical components during the 3rd shift production line deep line (to meet HACCP / health standards) and run Treat B for two shifts. i'm sure the engineering team that figured out how a single production line floor can, over the course of a week, run 10+ product lines each with their own packaging and terminating in a frozen/frigerated truck for shipping are some real logistics wizards.

imagine if they were paid to come up with built environments, networks, and community support systems to prevent diabetes and heart disease.

EDIT: no chance i would buy an entire box, but i would 100% try a deep fried twinkie.

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago

I've worked in a factory producing similar frozen foodstuffs (think more savoury than sweet though) and the machines I worked with were able to produce a few different but similar products depending on the production schedule for that day. I wasn't involved in swapping the machines over so I don't know the intricacies but they were able to do the swap during the night maintenance shift. One day we'd be fulfilling the order for X treat and the next would be Y treat.

Just speculation on my part but I'm guessing the general process for "breaded lump of cheese product" is similar across the board just with different recipes & shapes. So the same line might be making Doritos™ Loaded^®^ one day & Velveeta™ Cheesy Bites^®^ the next

These tend to be domestic, it's expensive to transport frozen treats across the Pacific

If they keep eating this, they'll do it to themselves

[–] SocialistDovahkiin@hexbear.net 10 points 23 hours ago

the stuff that isn't designed to mimic actual meals is pretty good, but anything that tries to be Mozzarella Sticks but Branded is evil

[–] Guamer@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago

I will say: Those loaded doritos are kinda bomb if you do em right

I've been hearing about deep fried Twinkies since I was a little kid and I've actually always wanted to try one

[–] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 13 points 23 hours ago

When I was in Scotland I had a piece of deep fried mars bar once. It tasted like heart failure.

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago

Go to a state fair, you'll find some. Along with a whole lot of bomb-ass food.

[–] take_five_seconds@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago

They're good, same with deep fries Oreos.

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

it's a staple of any county fair

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 3 points 21 hours ago

Yeah but frozen ones just seem weird

[–] miz@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago

so heavily processed
