This is especially disgusting because I’m always pre-occupied by the fact that Tropicana smells like my poop (seriously), and is the only orange juice that smells like that.

I wonder if you can buy the cereal and then use a good oj for it.
Most American cereals are already sugar bombs. So let’s dump pure orange juice and double-down on the sugar!

Their description just makes it sound like Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds. That’s a good cereal, sure, but it doesn’t sound like they came up with a super special cereal that tastes good with OJ.

I’m only interested if the cereal is toothpaste flavor.
As a kid I was tested for allergies, and declared allergic to milk, so no milk growing up. Plenty of cereal worked with orange juice, though I only really remember corn flakes. My parents wouldn’t really buy sugary cereals, so maybe that kept it from being as awful as it could have been.
[I think some people who test for food allergies are absolute charlatans, as I consume milk every day now without it ever being an issue. I’m not even lactose intolerant!]
That’s because you’re a liberal.

I tried it and liked it, but then my parents had a kneejerk milk allergy thing going on when I was a kid. I’d much prefer OJ and cereal to milk and cereal.
A friend’s dad is lactose intolerant so she grew up eating orange juice based pancakes and waffles instead of buttermilk. She prefers them to this day.
I don’t even know what a pixel tastes like. I’ve led a sheltered life. Never tried to taste one.
If you drill holes in your monitor, you can extract the pixel sap.

That’s how they make skittles.
Via a random newspaper stock photo, I came across these:
They presumably belong in the thread for their nutritional/flavour qualities, but I was mostly struck by the bizarre branding. What’s the play on words here? Presumably the idea is you can eat them for any course/meal or at any time. But it’s not like “appe” or “tiser” are a thing on their own. And besides, the neologism sounds dangerously close to “sanitisers”. Not to mention the misused apostrophe.

And to think, people get paid a LOT of money to come up with dumb shit like this.
I used to buy lots of the things, because kids who are picky eaters like them. Or at least that was true in my household. The “any’tizers” label is a grammatical horror but does honestly convey the meaning that it’s a dish traditionally used as an appetizer that they are promoting to meal status.
Plus they look like doo-doo.
I figured it was because it’s snack time anytime.

When I see made up words on food packaging these days, I first assume it’s some vegetarian/plant-based version of what is advertised.
That was my immediate thought.
I hope you didn’t miss out on this yummy health drink:
