Blades of Glory and Crack in our food
Saw "Blades of Glory" at an early screening last night. Excellent waste of ninety minutes and well worth spending $9.00 of your hard earned cash. Jon Heder was funny, Will Ferrall very funny, You'll genuinely laugh which is something that can't be said about alot of comedies these days. Movie review over, now onto more serious matters.
Why don't food manufacturers put crack in our food anymore. Work with me on this, back when I was a kid there were some food and drink that I thought were so good that I couldn't go a day without having them. For example the old cool ranch doritos not cooler ranch doritos which came out like a year later and didn't taste nearly as good. These chips were freaking good and everyone I knew liked them as well. But Frito Lay went and added on "More Ranch Flavor!" making them cooler ranch. These sucked so much so that I stopped buying that flavor altogether.
Now I have a theory on this, when a new product comes out major food manufacturers add an addictive additive to it in trace amounts so it is not found by the FDA, a la crack to it so that you start to crave it after you have had it a few times. Not that I have tried crack, but I heard that is what happens. They get you hooked on it and then change it before anyone finds out, calling their product "new and improved" what they really mean is "Now Crack Free!" Oh Frito Lay you can't trick me that easily, Ahhh that little farce you try to play with our tastebuds...do think that could fool a Corleone.
If you don't believe me, just look at what Fourbucks..I mean Starbucks does, they have more caffeine in their coffee than there competitors. So when you have their coffee vs. regular coffee you don't get that same buzz. Hence to get that caffeine high you have to go to Starbucks. I know if I have a venti (thats ridiculously large in layman's terms) coffee, I feel like my heart is going to burst out of my chest. I mean their coffee does even taste that good, but dammit if I don't get a headache if I don't have my cup in the morning.
