@alacrity@blaineg, I know the movie starring Charlton Heston, aka, Moses came out in the mid '70s, but the rather sarcastic remark I made was saying it has finally & ‘literally’ hit the market,…the food chain!! I hope it hasn’t, but in this wild & crazy world, ya never know!
@Achromatter@blaineg@gertiestn@Kyeh Oof, that looks rough! Their motto could have been “If the disinfectant doesn’t cure what ails you, the exfoliation will!” … @Kyeh, you called it, the “council property” is my favorite part!
@Achromatter@blaineg@gertiestn@ircon96@Kyeh
looks a lot like the old TP in France years ago. It came in “conveniently” folded squares that popped up like the papers they use at a deli to pack sliced meat. It was just about as absorbent as well…
@Achromatter@blaineg@chienfou@gertiestn@ircon96 A friend of mine traveled in Europe on a budget in the late 70s and has a TP collection, because it cracked her up that so much of it was terrible.

In Japan, most public restrooms don’t supply paper towels - you’re expected to carry a handkerchief around to wipe your hands after you wash them.
I’m actually kinda tempted to buy this lagoon dust and mix it with random foods to see what it could be used for… mostly because the label DOESN’T make idiotic health statements or claim to be the key to eternal youth or shiny strong skin or wrinkle-free hair.
It’s just unassuming green powder from swamp plants… so what kinda hillbilly pesto can I make with this stuff? If I eat enough of it will I turn green, so I can fend off all the bad Smurfs who turned blue from too much colloidal silver? Will I turn into a green turd factory just like the days after I eat all those St Patrick’s Day green bagels from the Safeway? Or should I mix it with pure Colombian coke and snort to go full Robin Williams’ Popeye? I WANT TO KNOW.
@blaadnort I would guess this has a mildly gross flavor that is easy enough to cover up but probably doesn’t dissolve well in water since it is made out of aquatic plants and not aquatic slime, so it’s probably always going to add some grig to the dish.
@blaadnort-The short answer is Yes & I don’t got the long ass answer!! You may have ta Google that!! been wanting to use that emoji! Dammit that emoji was suppose to be Green!!
@blaadnort Toss up between lagoon dust and hillbilly pesto for hilarious/creative.Maybe we should have a vote on that (Meh?) But I WANT TO KNOW where you get the pure Colombian??

Live Better Raw Organic Greens Is People!
NO
@alacrity, YES, Soylent Green has finally hit the market, but it makes great Margaritas!
@1DisabledWarVet @alacrity Soylent has been around for a while. Some funny first person reviews here.
https://arstechnica.com/series/ars-does-soylent/
And yes, they chose the name deliberately.
@1DisabledWarVet @alacrity @blaineg Yes, and they leaned into it for 2022. As Good As Humanly Possible
@1DisabledWarVet @alacrity @BethanyAnne
Perfect!
@1DisabledWarVet @BethanyAnne @blaineg I just get the feeling it tastes like Edward G Robinson and I’m not into that kind of cuisine

It’s not easy being greens
read that as CHOLERA … um no thanks!
@chienfou
Is the fudge that’s packed also from non-gmo suppliers?
@chienfou
@chienfou I’m guessing cholera tastes better.
Mmm, powdered salad.
@awk Nasty salad powder.
@awk @werehatrack Salad is what food eats.
But I’ll bet it wouldn’t eat this.
Ummm … WHY??
/giphy vomit
@IndifferentDude
Welcome to bleh.
Soylent green doesn’t want people with good taste…
@werehatrack …just people who taste good.
So… Could I put this in my coffee or would it be gross as hell
@dcm714 yes, and yes…
@dcm714
1 you could put it in your coffee (but WHY?)
2 it will be gross as hell
@lonocat You beat me to it.
@rileyper
So now I can buy Live Better by CVS Health products at Meh, eh? I wonder what I’ve done to deserve that.
@gertiestn It’s just not the same without the 37-foot-long receipt.
@gertiestn @ircon96
Too bad the paper-cuts aren’t worth using it as T.P.
@Achromatter @gertiestn Ouch! I’m sure people tried that during the Great Toilet Tissue Shortage of 2020
@gertiestn kinda makes ya wonder why Walgreens didn’t come up with this crap!!
@Achromatter @gertiestn @ircon96 No worse than Izal, but then Izal is medicated.
@Achromatter @blaineg @gertiestn @ircon96 “Council Property”!
@Achromatter @blaineg @gertiestn @Kyeh Oof, that looks rough! Their motto could have been “If the disinfectant doesn’t cure what ails you, the exfoliation will!” … @Kyeh, you called it, the “council property” is my favorite part!
@1DisabledWarVet @gertiestn True, then they could just call it “Wal-Greens”!
@Achromatter @gertiestn @ircon96 @Kyeh There’s a reason it’s medicated! Speaking from sad experience.
@Achromatter @gertiestn @ircon96 @Kyeh
Yep, government issue toilet roll.
@Achromatter @blaineg @gertiestn @ircon96 @Kyeh

@Achromatter @chienfou @gertiestn @ircon96 @Kyeh Yep, that sounds like Izal.
@Achromatter @chienfou @gertiestn @ircon96 @Kyeh I encountered Izal in England in the early 80’s, courtesy of a cheapskate landlord.
You could also get “loo roll” that wouldn’t cause paper cuts, so I have no idea why Izal was still around.

@Achromatter @blaineg @chienfou @gertiestn @Kyeh The Japanese are such a self-sufficient lot!

Got this in bacon flavor?
@phendrick
Going by the reviews, it’s “Sponge Bob’s taint” flavored…
@phendrick, No, only Chicken, but even if they had Bacon flavor, it would still taste like Chicken
Best By Date? How long does this stuff keep?
Will I benjamin-buttons faster if I add this to my morning smoothies?
@Achromatter This stuff puts the butt in Benjamin Buttons
@ircon96
You mean the “taste of butt”, dontcha??
@Achromatter Best by 8/31/22
@Achromatter I thought your “SpongeBob’s taint” was much more poetic, though.

@blaadnort Be sure to keep copious notes so you can publish your data & make a valuable contribution to “science”!

@blaadnort “lagoon dust” — That’s really funny!
“Now where’d you get that nutritional powder, Gilligan?”
“I found it in the lagoon, Skipper!”
@blaadnort-The short answer is Yes & I don’t got the long ass answer!! You may have ta Google that!! been wanting to use that emoji! Dammit that emoji was suppose to be Green!!

Do keep us updated.

@blaadnort but it exp in August22

You, my friend, have a promising future in the advertising business…
Organic does not have to be green. I’m sure Johnny Depp can attest to that.
@hchavers his wife’s acting looked mighty green today; what, no tears with all that crying & slobbering¿
What is the expiration date?!
@lisameh, May the Fourth [b with you] 2022!! Sorry!! Time Keeps On Slipping Into The Future!!
@lisameh Best by 8/31/22
@lisameh @troy
holy crap…in that case, what’s it like before then.
Does it come with the book “To Serve Man” ? And should I only use it at “Twilight” … (now I want to watch it)
The nutritional is odd, any breakdown of the ingredients has at least a little vitamins, but this only claims some calcium?
@EvilSmoo I thought the same thing, that label seems very unimpressive. I’d much rather eat a teaspoon of ice cream to get that amount of calcium!

There are tastier ways to eat seaweed:
seafood seaweed flavor very strong. Hubby refuses to use it. Can’t get past the smell
