Tendency of the rate of profit to fall. When you hit the wall in terms of how much you can make on Halloween or from impulsive people at the checkout counter, you have to try other shit, no matter how ridiculous. It was this or the Twix coin and that won't be far behind once this flops.

Should I invest in the Left Twixcoin or the Right Twixcoin?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago

Right Twixcoin, because coinbros are all dumb right wingers

[-] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

If you buy it through my coin brokerage you can get both for the price of one! (plus service and transaction fees)

Twix coin

Don't tempt Trump with a good time

A brand is disconnected from the actual capital that produces these products. So for them, this is basically the trump brand deal, they give permission to use the flavor and slap the name on and then some factory they don't own can produce this.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 5 days ago

Amazing. Trump is truly the very epitome of capitalism in decay

[-] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago

trump-enlightened well yeah, trump is an empty vessel filled from the stream of american capitalism's collective subconsciousness, the incoherent and chaotically fractured will of the ruling class slows to a serene stillness within him

[-] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Avatar movie but it's Trump being as sassy as he humanly could while everything burns around him

You gotta put brands in your bands. Synergy. Vertical integration. It's the multiverse but for your mouth.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 5 days ago

Pretty sure this has been going on for decades. I'm gonna date myself here, but there were twix & snickers icecream, lifesavers & hubba bubba soda, trix yogurt...

Now we got Simply Spiked Canned Liquor from Simply Orange, Cheetos Mac & Cheese, Red Lobster Biscuit Mix, Heinz Red Paint, Eggo Sneakers, Hellman's Mayo Manicures.

As to WHY, well we all know why, CAPITALISM BABY! KA-CHING! capitalist-laugh

Cheetos Mac & Cheese

They didn't call it Mac & Cheetos and this should of been the last straw for all marketing teams to be fired into the sun.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

the lawyers nixed it for not showcasing the brand first and focus groups got confused thinking there would be corn puffs mixed in with the pasta

[-] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

Launch the lawyers and the focus group analysts into the sun too.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 5 days ago

Happening with lots of alcoholic drinks too. They’ve got a Lipton Tea hard drink now!

[-] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago

kitty-cri-screm lemme make my bootleg liquor with shitty tea packs and vodka and sprite! Stop the gentrification!

I've loathed beers that are bacon and maple syrup flavored for years.

i work in grocery adjacent stuff and have for quite a while. so just from observation i can firmly say these companies are running out of ideas.

the number 1 complaint i get and have always recieved is customers wishing they wouldn't discontinue some simple fav of theirs that had been sold for years

i really think people are getting burned out on this pretend "variety". they just want stuff they are familiar with and like.

and of course as we all know every time a food company merges or absorbs another they immediately rush to combine all their brands together in crazy ways and nothing good results from this

meanwhile there is what, maybe 3 or 4 corps left? all that variety lol it's not real

[-] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I am still upset about a variety of treat that was discontinued back when I was a young kid.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

don't forget to blame the random clerk that stocks the product.

we had our secret collective worker's meeting a week ago and chose to stop carrying it out of spite

we also collectively agreed to raise prices because as everyone knows, every employee gets a direct cut of the profits (legit so many boomer customers think this shit)

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

don't forget to blame the random clerk that stocks the product.

That is literally me though

As for the treat, even my 4yo self knew that the right approach was to write a letter to the company.

Coming Soon. Mountain Dew flavoured Vapes

[-] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago

Theres quite a few attempted mountain dew flavors out there that have been around for over a decade. They just cant use the name for legal reasons and PepsiCo probably thinks its a dumb idea to get involved in vapes at this point.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

Comes packaged with the Goodwill meatloaf flavor vape that doesn't let your arms bend

[-] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Honestly surprised they haven't jumped in with an official flavor and are instead letting copy-cats try and replicate their toxic orange soda

[-] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago

A lot of fast food companies have branded products in the grocery stores, now too

Absolutely bonkers. I saw a coworker bring in a bottle of taco bell mild sauce and thought "does he have special connections to the company or some shit?" Turns out no. Capitalism is coming for the artesian sauce market.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

A coworker of mine has Chick Fil A sauce they put on absolutely everything, apparently you can buy bottles of the sauce in groceries now as well. Must be a trend

[-] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

liquify and caffinate my favorite candy bar so I can enjoy it on the go (sitting in my car in traffic).

[-] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

I saw snickers flavored instant coffee or coffee grinds.

Also where I live, we have "hard" mountain dew and sprite.

It sounds like the worst hangover.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

still sometimes think about the mutant 7-up gum that was briefly available when I was a teen and featured 7-up flavored goop in the middle

[-] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Yo that's actually wild

[-] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

Because it’s about colonizing shelf space.
