things I have discovered from doing consumer surveys

[the_siobhan]

I find myself increasingly alienated from a society where people turn their nose up at swallowing spunk because it's disgusting, but will actively put powdered drink mix into their mouths.

Not to mention drinking the sludge left after a bowl of Fruity Pebbles.

At least that contains real sugar.

Someday they'll invent powdered spunk, and then we'll really be in trouble.

Please tell me that wasn't the order of questions on the survey.

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

They were asking all kinds of questions about "fruit snacks" and "fruit-flavoured drinks" and I lost my shit and started yelling, "DO PEOPLE ACTUALLY EAT THAT SHIT?"

Jesus.

[panic-girl.livejournal.com]

I want the video of that. ;)

Then again, it's only been in the past couple months that I've started eating real food almost exclusively, so I'm not one to talk. Though spunk is ok by me too, so I'm not all bad. :P

*cry*

your icon scares me.

Maybe it makes their spunk taste of banana.

*shudder*

Spunk is not supposed to taste like banana! It's supposed to taste like spunk!

I don't know. I think I could kinda go for some banana flavored spunk, but I like bananas.

As long as it doesn't taste like a flavored condom, I'm good.

The first time I ever tried oral I tried with a flavored condom and it was the most foul thing I EVER had in my mouth. I gagged and refused to proceed, so I took the thing off. Being the good sport that he was, he took a lick. Then, he exclaimed, "That's FOUL!" and ran off to brush his teeth with me close on his heels.

So nice to have a funny story to share for a change :D

I have never eaten powdered drink mix, as such, in my life. But I will admit to a weakness for this stuff (http://www.coffee-mate.com/faq.asp).

Not quite the food of the gods, I'll grant you, but it surely qualifies as the snack of the minor saints.

Oh noes!
Not non-dairy creamer!

Well, I suppose grainy is more palatable than slimy, but I'll take spunk over powdered drink mix anyday. My mom's bf puts chocolate flavored powdered drink mix on his ice cream. When I see him do it I always shout, "For the love of GOD, man, use chocolate SAUCE like everybody else!!!" Sometimes slimey really does beat the hell out of grainy.

I think Chris was evil because he liked to spoon powdered Gatorade into his mouth.

I find myself alienated from society in general, but I'm always surprised to find that there are even higher degrees of alienation. Like when a young man posted to a Warcrack forum how funny it was when his friend got his friend's girlfriend drunk so that she would have sex with them while everyone on the voice chat could hear them. Now, I don't care if someone does that sober, but getting someone drunk to coerce them into something they don't want to do is repugnant. Thinking it's fine to get a girl drunk to coerce her into sex is what makes rohypnal socially acceptable in some circles. I ripped him a new one and he removed his post, but he did try to justify it first and I realized that I was was living in a world that makes me sick.

Oh Christ, I've run into those kinds of conversations.

Usually I approach it by saying, "Does your friend realize that he could be facing rape charges? I always hope that if respect for other people can't be impressed on them then maybe simple self-preservation can.

I'm not entirely sure I even know what a "powdered drink mix" is.

I know what "spunk" is, though, 'n I have an unabashed love for the stuff. And I have no shyness about that whatsoever (clearly...).

[dark-phoenix54.livejournal.com]

I do a number of those surveys, and I'm always amazed at the new "food" ideas they come up with. And there is never a box to check for "not if I was starving and in hell".

I did once get to say in response to a question about Bell Mobility; "Not if they were the last cell phone company left after the zombie apocalypse and it was the only way to re-populate our devestated civilization."

Well, they asked for feedback...
