What's Wrong with the World?

The topic is stuff changing for no good reason at all.  No politics please. 


We have a candy jar at my office. People put candy in it to keep it away from their kids.  I was pleased to see there were little bags of leftover Valentine's Day hearts. Yum. Love those.

Except ...

I opened the bag, and there was no powdery, heart shaped, hard candy goodness that I have loved since I was a child.

Instead, it was Gummy Bears. Fucking gummy bears. Little shapeles balls of flavored gelatinous snot. 

Leave my childhood and its treasures alone!  

10-1 in a few years it will be Gluten free gummy bears or Tofu bears or some shit.

I hate 2020.

    The first gelatin based shaped candy was the Unclaimed Babies, sold by Fryers of Lancashire in 1864

    Something that always bothered me put I never took the time to look up or realize.

    Why do chip companies put so much air in their bags?

    To dupe us into thinking the foil bags are filled with chips? Actually, no. In fact, the bags don’t contain oxygen. They’re filled with nitrogen. Oxygen would quickly turn the chips rancid. The nitrogen preserves the freshness of the chips, prevents combustion, and creates sufficient cushioning during shipping so the chips don’t get crushed. Still feel ripped off? Here’s a consolation: NASA reports that bags of potato chips taken aboard super-modified jets respond to the sudden change in air pressure soon after takeoff by exploding. Cool!

    The influence of the Chaos gods is growing. It's already illegal in many places to denounce the cult of Slaanesh, and Tzeentch has infiltrated the elite with his message of change.

    Now Nurgle cultist are contracting SARS and traveling all over the world to spread his gifts.

    Whatever the truth, for the Tyranids to have endured such a voyage must have required utter single-mindedness and unimaginable energy. During their journey, the Tyranids slumbered in a state of frozen hibernation, but now they have arrived, they have awoken and they are hungry.
