    I wonder what the impact of weight loss drugs will be once they hit the mainstream. Those things are just normal (but very effective) appetite suppressants. Combine 20+ years of bad PR with a real way for people to curb their very real psychological addictions to fast food and I can actually see a future where we look back on today’s fast food like we do to whatever the fuck the 1970s thought about jell-o

      If you want really disgusting, my grandmother had a mayonnaise cookbook with all sorts of crimes against humanity presented as normal, everyday meals. Thankfully she was a good cook and thus never subjected us to those horrors, but I still get kinda sick just thinking about some of them.

        Hahaha, that sounds horrific. What about the 78 page microwave recipe booklet you get/got with some brands? Remember those? Who the fuck is gonna microwave a whole chicken casserole to completion, what psychopaths is this written for?

      That was an interesting article. I had no idea there was ever a fad with jelly containing salads, beef, mayonnaise and seafoods. That episode of the Simpsons makes sense now
