ok do you guys remember those Capri Sun βRESPECT THE POUCH, RESPECT IT!β ads where children would deface a Capri Sun pouch in some way and then suffer some karmic punishment thematically connected to the way they disrespected pouch
then there were Airheads commercials where eating an airhead would turn your head into a balloon
and there were Fruit Gusher ads similar to that except your head turned into an enormous piece of fruit
what happened where for this brief period of time (in america at least) it was decided the best way to get kids to buy fruit themed junk food was to imply there was some kind of chaotic evil force that would let you sip its sweet nectar and feast on its fruit, but only if you were willing to sacrifice your state of existence and obey the artificially flavored outer godsΒ Β
i hate how reward systems never work for me like i canβt just say βif i finish this assignment i can have a cookieβ bc my brain is like ββ¦..or u could just have one right nowβ and i canβt argue with that logic
Iβm terrified of oranges and Iβll tell you why. Gatorade gives all its flavor powerful names. Fruit Punch. Ice Punch. Glacial Freeze. But the orange onesβ¦ They just call those Orange. What does gatorade know that we donβt? How powerful is the everyday orange? What secrets are contained beneath that unassuming peel?
I made a more advanced recipe here for all yβall that want something that looks more like a tide pod here, but that recipe isβ¦ intricate. So for all yβall who want just a simple detergent pod like these juicy looking packets, Iβm here for you!Β
Two components: edible plastic and juicy inside
First, the Plastic:
Ingredients:
2 packets (14g) Knox unflavored gelatin
6 tbsp water
Parchment paper
rectangular brownie pan
optional: Β½ tbsp 7up or sprite
Instructions:
Boil the water, add gelatin mix (optional: add soda for flavor). Stir in until mix is completely melted. Let cool slightly. Cover brownie pan with parchment paper, and pour a very thin layer of gelatin mixture onto parchment. Place brownie pan into fridge and let sit overnight until hardened.
The next day, the juicy inside:
Obtain your favorite flavor of jello. Follow the instructions on the jello mix to make the jello, but donβt put it in the fridge. Let cool until room temperature.
Put it Together:
Remove edible plastic from the fridge and gently remove plastic from parchment. Cut into 5×2β³ rectangles. Fold rectangle in half to create 2×2.5β³ rectangles. Seal together long ends and use indirect heat to melt sides together. Leave the short end open. Pour room temperature jello into pouch and seal final end with indirect heat. Let cool in fridge a few hours, and then enjoy.
If any of you guys really have feelings for tide pods please use this recipe and donβt eat the real detergent pod. Stay safe friends!
