Y'all remember in the 90s, they launched WOW! Doritos with Olestra?

Then almost overnight, every chip product on the shelf had Olestra jammed in?

Only it inhibited absorption of nutrients and gave everyone loose stools, abdominal cramps and anal leakage.

AI is only here to stay if we consume it!
The WOW! versions of Lays, Doritos and Ruffles

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

Gov. shut down, ICE snatching people off the street, groceries are $100/bag, you don’t know if your job will be there by the end of the year, international community doesn’t see us as a destination. We ain’t that cute and our hair is uneven.

A Big 5 editor friend told me that one of her biggest frustrations is that since nothing is really working right now, it'd be a great time to throw everything at the wall and see what new ideas stick. But instead they just shrug and keep trying ideas from 20 years ago.
