my favorite part of capitalism is the slippery slope of knock off cereal branding devolving from catchy, colorful names to literal descriptions of what’s inside the box

when youre describing your product as ‘spheres’ youve reached critical mass

No, this is great. Product labels focused more on explaining what the product is than on branding are good. I sure wouldn’t have guessed that some small circular cereal would contain lots of oats if they weren’t called “Fruity Oat Rounds” unless I specifically went around looking for oat-rich cereals.

Also, store brands are great. They’re typically cheaper than name-brand goods without a significant corresponding drop in quality. Maybe they hire fewer branding consultants and run fewer ad campaigns and that’s why they’re cheaper? IDK.

It would all be worth it just for the global running joke of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! knock-offs.

Still waiting for someone to put out “Butter With Chinese Characteristics.“

Memories of butter

“Now you’re just some butter that I used to know”

I wasn’t gonna reblog this but that last comment had me literally falling out of my chair with laughter so here you go.

Anousheh Ansari was born on September 12, 1966 in Mashhad, Iran and emigrated to the US in 1984. In 2006, Ansari became the first Iranian and the first Muslim woman to go into outer space when she participated in a privately-funded expedition. Ansari spent eight days at the International Space Station performing experiments for the European Space Agency on the impact of space radiation on crew members and microbes. The same year as her adventure in outer space, she founded the digital technology company Prodea Systems.

Happy birthday, Anousheh Ansari!
