Says Ron, the first commenter on the last post.

Blubber-Up is real. I've seen it. Here:

Bob R said...: That ad didn't gross me out the way the creators intended. It looked more like molten hard candy than fat. I'm not a big candy fan, so it wasn't appetizing to me, but it didn't trigger disgust the way they wanted. Not many people have made candy (it's more fun to make than it is to eat) so maybe I'm an outlier.; 1/26/14, 7:16 AM

If you're going to drink milk, you should drink whole milk. Actually half-and-half or cream is better.; 1/26/14, 8:09 AM

Known Unknown said...: Is that a Snapple bottle or Yoo-Hoo?

You think they'd have gone with a more iconic red or blue bottle, but pissing off Coke and Pepsi probably isn't in their best interests.; 1/26/14, 9:38 AM

"squirrel on a stick will be the 'new' protein"
