Propane tanks as currency.  If scrap metal is gold then propane tanks are diamonds.

The idea of trash wars is exciting.  What an excellent way for humanity to end itself.

If there isn't trash everywhere after a party, was it a party?  Apparently the level of drunkenness correlate directly to how much trash you leave around.  Are people called white trash because of their penchant for leaving trash everywhere they go?

Quick follow up on the hilariousness of the Mt. Everest fiasco.  Go your ass up a mountain dropping trash the whole way, because, you know, it's convenient and what you are doing is sooooo important you can't possibly be bothered with not littering.   Then you get to the top and queue up in a line like it's the Raptor at Cedar Point. Plot twist, you die there waiting like a fat idiot.

Garbage food:

Did you ever have a processed food that you loved and then one day suddenly can't stand to eat?

Tang

• Fully synthetic
• Adjustable bliss point
• Orange juice replacement - (still huge in China)
• Enriched with Vitamin C
• Marketed as Space Juice

Observation - First hand lunchbox currency transactions.  It was some shit right out of Breakfast Club.

Betty Crocker vs Home Economics - There used to be something taught in schools called Home Economics.  Betty Crocker to dead aim at that class, got it in the cross hairs, and took it out. *Don't learn how to cook when you can just "Heat and Serve"*  Convenience always wins. The idea, of course, is that we need faster eating solutions so we will have more time. Time we use to work or watch TV.

Cereal Is the ultimate processed food, basically human kibble.  If aliens kept us as pets they would feed us cereal.

Cereal companies spend more on advertising than they do ingredients.  They also market almost exclusively to kids.

We lived through the time when consumers actually started to care about sugar intake.  That's when they took the word "Sugar" off the cereal names and started with ads showing cereal as "...part of this nutritious breakfast".

Ads for unsweetened food?  Do they even exist?

The "nanny problem" - The "nanny problem" was industries answer to the NYC pop ban.  New York tried to ban Big Gulps and the industry ran ads that basically said the government wanted to be our baby sitter.   They framed the banning of Big Gulps as an attack on our freedom. We should have the right to drink copious amounts of pop.  Almost all attempts to regulate garbage food is met with this argument.
