@remo28 That is… hard to read. One gram of protein? OK, that’s the collagen. That’s as much as one tablet or two capsules in a supplement. Not great, could be worse, I guess. Probably not very much konjac, because there’s also carrageenan and a couple of other thickeners and less than 1 gram of fiber. Oddly, I’m still interested.
@bambambam1 how are we supposed to know what it is when its marketed as “collagen” “snack”? There is 1 gram of protein in a pouch. There’s 6+ grams in a table spoon of collagen, essentially no collagen in these “snacks”.
They are 5 fl ounces. just go whip up some collagen + gelatin + water/fruit juice then put in fridge. better ingredients, better snack, no junk fillers, cheaper, and takes about 5 minutes to make a batch.
I personally just put a tablespoon each of gelatin and collagen in water and drink it.
I see now, just thought that was some name they made up but its a potato that gels. I was wondering how the hell this gels from so little collagen but it does have a bunch of other thickeners as well.
This also is in line with applesauce pouches and yogurt sticks; while convenient to carry and consume (and delicious), it does make you resemble a toddler compared to applesauce cups and yakult/smoothie bottles.
Walmart has a deal with Pineapple, Lemon Lime, and red Grape flavors. 10-pack is $20 (5$ off MSRP)
Personally I like the lychee flavors of Jayone’s. They remind me of the coconut lychee jelly candies (that as an adult, I see as sugar bombs). I don’t think Everydaze has that flavor.
One thing I can’t seem to find info on is pouch recycling.
Apple sauce pouch brand GoGoSqueez has a deal with Terracycle where you can gather, and mail for free, your used pouches and Terracycle will clean and repurpose them back to the manufacturer.
These plastic/metal hybrid bags are really not able to be broken down so I assume Everydaze doesn’t have that sweet deal.
@Bumplepimp@Trinityscrew It’s not the worst mucus unless it comes out as a long stringy mass that insists upon being swallowed a couple of inches at a time in one seemingly unending, nasty piece. If you’ve been there, you know.
Dr. Melik: This morning for breakfast he requested something called ‘wheat germ, organic honey and tiger’s milk.’
Dr. Aragon: [chuckling] Oh, yes. Those are the charmed substances that some years ago were thought to contain life-preserving properties.
Dr. Melik: You mean there was no deep fat? No steak or cream pies or… hot fudge?
Dr. Aragon: Those were thought to be unhealthy… precisely the opposite of what we now know to be true.
Dr. Melik: Incredible.

@mehcuda67 konjac jelly stuff is banned in some of Europe because of choking hazards, and the FDA has issued warnings about it. This sentence is an attempted legal shield by the manufacturer is my guess. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konjac
I’m wondering what they consider unharmful choking. Maybe that’s just rough play.
@blaineg And your nose, if you’re around one when it’s blooming!
It’s related to the Corpse Flower - the A. konjac’s flowers emit a stench similar to rotting flesh to attract certain pollinators.
@mediocrebot hate to say it but I really like that art. It feels like there could be a whole novel based on that as the cover image. Sadly it will take an AI to write it.
@mediocrebot@pmarin On the first page they’ll have to explain why they’re scared of artificial sweeteners when their farm was destroyed by an all-natural sugar cube.

/showme some angry collagen invading someone’s face
It’s a con, Jack!
I don’t want any jelly with jac in it
At first I thought it was an edible KY Jelly. Hmm, maybe it is.
@hchavers KY The official state jelly of Kentucky.
These are so delicious - I especially like the Peach flavor ones.
@krdshrk
You’ve actually had these and you’re not being sarcastic?
@Star2236 100% - I’ve been eating a few a week.
Flavored spunk in a squeezebag? I’ll pass…
@robson Now you’re just giving me ideas…
This is very intriguing, and not just because there don’t seem to be clear nutrition facts.
@mossygreen I found their site just to see the nutrition label. https://www.everydaze.com/products/essential-cs-konjac-jelly-apple?variant=41980542615730

ok, so basically these need rum.
@alacrity Seems like cognac would be more fitting.
These are kinda like those energy packs for biking, except there’s only 10 calories so no. I didn’t know why these are.
I think I knew a guy they called Amorphophallus Konjac back in college.
No one ever called him that to his face, though.
@djslack So this is from those stink plants?!?
@djslack @Kyeh What an odd name for a collegian.
@djslack @Kyeh @macromeh obviously a collagen collegian.
A lot of people seem to have no idea what these are. They’re a diet drink. The jelly makes you feel full.
Imagine it’s like boba with a bit more of a choking hazard and far less calories.
They’re very good.
@bambambam1 They look good!
@bambambam1 Thank you for explaining this. I always having a lot of trouble figuring out if it was food or a topical beauty product.
@bambambam1 I was wondering why the pouch looked so big. That looked like a lot of actual jelly to consume at once.
@bambambam1 how are we supposed to know what it is when its marketed as “collagen” “snack”? There is 1 gram of protein in a pouch. There’s 6+ grams in a table spoon of collagen, essentially no collagen in these “snacks”.

@lickkite Because it’s not about the collagen it’s about the konjac in it.
Just trying to clarify for all the people who don’t know what it is since judging by the comments it’s clearly not something people are familiar with.
thanks for the info, time and explanation.
I see now, just thought that was some name they made up but its a potato that gels. I was wondering how the hell this gels from so little collagen but it does have a bunch of other thickeners as well.
@bambambam1 @Willijs3
@bambambam1 “The jelly makes you feel full.”
I do appreciate the explanation. But it raises the question, why not just drink some water? If feeling full is its purpose…
Erythritol as the second ingredient – pass.
@Francine Also Carrageenan, Sucralose, various gums and other suspect ingredients make it a hard pass for me.

Looks like kids’ applesauce pouches. These are weird to consume food from and not look like a toddler.
@katbyter Pretty much accurate.

Absolutely lost me at sucralose. Nothing good for you contains that shit.
@cinoclav Paradoxically, a lot of shit contains sucralose.
There has never been anything on meh that I have wanted less. And that includes $100 IRKs.
Cold bags of mucus? Now that’s a tasty treat!
@Bumplepimp FLAVORED mucus. That makes all the difference. (not)

@Pony Awe some giphy.
Has there been anything worth even looking at on this site in months. The meh button on my phone is permanently burnt in at this point.
There’s a lot to unpack (or chew on) in this sentence:

@mehcuda67 The choking incidents on the Wikipedia page for konjac definitely made me think about this stuff.
My eyes!!!

@mediocrebot hate to say it but I really like that art. It feels like there could be a whole novel based on that as the cover image. Sadly it will take an AI to write it.

@mediocrebot @pmarin never mind, I see now that it’s a sugar cube from the Matrix or something. Carry on.
@kostia @mediocrebot @pmarin Looks like it’s from the Borgalose Collective crossed with the aMorphophatrix. That’s scary.
