@DavidEllisRoot@oliviakrolczyk_ I bought a small butter bell like this one a few months ago, and it's one of my favorite household products.
I go through butter very, very quickly.
@SueBeeDexter@ChristineParse2@RealDeanCain Maybe make your own mix?
I get the keto chocolates sometimes (love the dark chocolate options). You could get something like that and throw it together with your favorite nuts.
@RealDeanCain I like both, but I do prefer coffee.
When I was pregnant with my 1st, coffee was one of the things that made me sick ๐ซ.
I had to switch to hot tea every morning.
In 1992, a company called Nabisco released a green box of cookies that explained the entire era better than any government document could.
They were called SnackWell's. They were fat-free. The fat had been removed, and to make a fat-free cookie taste like anything at all, it had been replaced with sugar and refined flour, in quantities that made the cookie nutritionally worse than the cookie it was pretending to improve on.
The marketing did not mention the sugar. The marketing said: fat-free. And a public that had been trained for fifteen years to read "fat" as the single enemy understood "fat-free" to mean "free." Free of consequence. Eat as many as you like.
They did. SnackWell's outsold Oreos. The boxes held twelve cookies, framed as a sensible single serving, and were emptied in a sitting by people who genuinely believed they were being good. By 1995 the brand was selling nearly half a billion dollars a year.
It produced a phenomenon real enough to be given a name in the psychology literature. The SnackWell Effect. The tendency to overconsume a food precisely because its label has told you it is virtuous.
A nation ate itself heavier on cookies it had been told were a diet aid, and could not work out why.
The green box was not an outlier. The green box was the whole decade, condensed, on a supermarket shelf.
@KratkyJeff@currentiyke Yes. I don't remember the episode, but there's one where they're hiding behind the Nerd Herd desk from the crowds at Buy More. They tell Jeff that if he doesn't reprogram the registers, no one can leave.
Not often, but I know one family that the mom is around 5'9", the dad is probably 6'2"
One daughter (middle child) is 6'1", other daughter (youngest) is about 5'11", but the son (oldest) is maybe 5'8" or 5'9"
@HogfanDad Absolutely! I had no intention of starting martial arts. It was actually for my son, and then my daughter wanted to try. Next thing I knew, the instructor talked me into trying it. My love for it and the family atmosphere keeps me going, which keeps me active.
