For confused folks, no this is not how Canadians package their peanut butter, although yes the milk bags are real, IIRC this is actually a thing that happens in the Carribbean for locally packaged peanut butter because it’s cheaper than the jars are in the US and Canada.
People paid into the GoFundMe because they thought it was so fucked that all he got was a shitty goodie bag.
I usually see these stories as failures of the system (and to be clear, they are), but in this case, a large number of people saw something that was straight bullshit, and tried to fix that bullshit with kind donations.
That second part, that’s the part that IS NOT a Boring Dystopia.
In other words, this mainly fits because it’s been years since this happened and the way it was presented in a throwaway Xeet. Everyone who remembers the original story remembers that it went viral because it was fucked up that all he got was a shitty goodie bag despite having never missed a day in 27 years.
People coming together to fight the boring dystopia isn’t boring or dystopian, personal opinion.
Hmmm, it being wrapped in a flat usually indicates being repackaged from larger foodservice sized containers, which my own experience with West Virginia food desert grocery stores has led me to understand is common in some areas.
I’d expect fresh ground to be oily-er too, enough that stocking it upright like that wouldn’t be a great idea.
The sad part about palm oil (other than environmental) is, it blocks the taste of most foods. It's too heavy. Things just taste greasy and almost flavorless.
This was my biggest complaint about an abroad stint in the Netherlands — all the peanut butter* was JIF style/huge ingredient list. Agree completely — only acceptable ingredients are peanuts and salt.
The beer wasn’t all my style, but I could certainly appreciate it.
*“pindakaas” literally “peanut cheese,” I think because “butter” is reserved for dairy products.
I’m sure there are, but they were not available at Jumbo (or any of the other stores I went to). In the US, I generally find them at any store I go to (a long with JIF, etc. of course) — I never have to “look hard enough” to find it.
I haven’t been to the Netherlands in a while either, but at Albert Heijn they had PB made from peanuts only, and I remember there being several brands that were like this. Miles better than in other parts of Europe.
2% or less of added oils. I get natty PB as well but it’s not quite as good as a bad food. I’m 6’3” and 195 at near 40 years old, my diet is fine. Jif is probably the “worst” thing I enjoy regularly. I still maintain it’s the best PB of the commercially produced varieties.
The package isn't resealable, either. That's just shady, pricing it so high, and making the consumer pay more for resealable packaging is just next-level greed.
Oh I see how that reads now. That was not a dig at you. I was just saying I hate those types of posts. Seeing as we are on shit post I just kind of assumed you were throwing it out there in all of it obnoxious glory
Lemmy doesn’t track your cumulative karma as far as I can tell. So it’s not really farming since you don’t even get a badge that says you have a big pp for it
It’s funny to me that the blue tick has gone from meaning ‘oh good, this is at least coming from a verified source’ to ‘this is almost certain to be alt right bullshit’.
You need to take a few steps back and look inwards. You are wishing death on another human being. Not because they did anything particularly heinous, you just got upset at them. Is this something you regularly do, or are you just having a bad day? Either way, that’s not okay and you need to find a better outlet for your anger than wishing death upon random strangers on the internet.
