There's protein sparkling water too now. I will admit it is tasty.
Starting to become a fan of clear whey. Regular whey is nasty.
I find it hilarious that it says
Blue raspberry lemonade
Natural flavours
someone on reddit suggested smokeable coffee one time lol
I really feel that would sell like hot cakes.
But since nicotine and caffeine are related molecules and are similar neurostimulants, we could just smoke tobacco hey
First person I ever met with one of those high powered vapes used it for caffeine instead of nicotine. Kid was blurry around the edges from the twitch it gave him.
Like that SNL skit commercial for eMeth
Decent source of protein, but ungodly levels of sodium.
It's got electrolytes!
Have you noticed the new way of promoting horrible food by telling you it has lots of protein
Kind of, but it's definitely nothing new in my part of the world at least. And I'm guessing you weren't around in the USA for the Atkins craze (or just didn't notice) when grocery shelves and fridges/freezers were littered with high fat, high protein versions of just about every ultra processed food item you can imagine with giant call outs on the front about how much protein they had (and then fat content only disclosed via the nutrition label).
The behavior that makes my eyes roll are the foods that emphasize their protein content despite the product not being a particularly good nor dense source of it. For instance, a 50g cereal bar with a spiel on the front along the lines of "3 grams of protein in every serving". Okay, so like, okay? And? I probably get more protein every night from the spiders I swallow in my sleep.
I wish I could get some spider diet like that rolling, I’m barely pulling upwards on 9ųg of per month where I’m at, though that’s not even counting the ones that may be occurring in plenty of the various processed foods/snacks that I am able to eat which may have some bonus arachnid carcasses in them on occasion.
Found Spiders Georg!
Did anyone else notice how they did the exact thing with vitamins?
Pop tarts and other sugar bombs were always labeled with "Good source of Vitamin C"
Im surprised sour candies don't advertise the same way considering the substance giving it the sourness is vitimin C.
Snort this line of cocaine, an excellent source of Calcium (because we used crushed up tums to cut it)
an excellent source of Calcium (because
...we used the crushed up bones of Jose, that snitch.
I saw protein shake/energy drinks at Costco the other week. Reminded me of the energy drink/body spray from the Good Place
I thought we exited this phase quite a few years back. Has it made a return? Are there wheat cereals advertising protein that'll shit straight out of me because I do zero exercise again?
It's particularly bizarre this time, it seems to have infected the home cook space too, every other recipe is about maximizing protein intake. I'm not sure where the sudden obsession came from and I have yet to find anyone who can give a clear even somewhat verifiable answer.
I was at a theme park a little ago and really in need of a cup of coffee. So I strolled into their Starbucks sponsored coffee shop because that's all there was. And sure enough, they were advertising various drinks, coffees, with protein added.
I have it on good authority that the Starbucks protein coffee gives you the double-shits.
This phase never ended. My wife asks about protein shakes all the time, and I asked here where she's getting the questions from. Tik Tok. All the influencers are still hyping it.
Granny smoked Menthols, these are Matcha.
Liam has taught me that I need protein, but really I just need A LOT more fiber*___*
I forget what the exact stat is, but something like 20% of Americans don't get enough protein vs 97% don't get enough fiber.
Not getting enough protein is essentially starvation territory unless you're actual athlete or bodybuilder.
There's protein in celery. In garlic. In almost everything you eat. Yes I wouldn't suggest making celery and garlic your only protein sources but you eat normal filling amounts of actual food and we'll get enough, sans the stones people lass for getting too much.
I literally saw protein ice cream pints the other day. 460 calories, but it has 30g of protein! For when you're depressed and eating a pint by yourself, but still need your gains. I guess.
ELI5: why is there no tobacco tea?
Nicotine isn't really easy to take in. It causes massive stomach upset, plus it affects the mucus membranes. You would barf and feel like total shit trying to drink it. I don't know all the scientific specifics, but yeah. I do know though that there is a liquor made in part with tobacco. Dunno how that works, but I'm sure the specific methods of fermentation and proofing must kill whatever would affect you in such a way.
It's called snus.
promoting horrible food by telling you it has lots of protein
I wish cocaine came back
Cocaine with protein
I don't understand. We can eat steak, chicken, chorizo, jerkey, turkey, parm, eggs, they're all absolutely delicious; noooo we eat pea and whey protien bars that taste like cold garbage.
Protein bars require less effort than all of the other options, besides jerky and jerky is stupid expensive.
Plus, whey is a byproduct, so it's good that it's being used instead of discarded.
My dad's doctor told him he needed to eat more protein, and he was like "ChickenLady, what can I eat to get more protein? High-protein Boost?" No dad, fucking meat ... you can eat more meat. The thing is he loved meat, but it never occurred to him that he got protein from meat. And he was a biology professor!
My favorite thing was my mother at one point thinking she needed to eliminate her intake of fats, carbohydrates and protein because they're all bad for you. Fortunately she does like kale ...
“Zero carb!” - a ton of artificial sweetener and fats. Makes up for the carbs twice over with fat, leading to pretty high caloric density
“Source of protein! - has some protein in it, perhaps more than another product in the category, but protein still is probably less than 50% of the carb content by mass, and also has fat. Never mind the quality or bioavailability of the protein.
Protein is starting to enter the zeitgeist as something that is helpful for muscle maintenance during weight loss and for helping with satiety. But like anything, if you don’t pay attention, reading the ad copy not going to help reach your goals.
“Zero carb!” - a ton of artificial sweetener and fats. Makes up for the carbs twice over with fat, leading to pretty high caloric density
That's generally what you want when you're eating low carb. Although the type of fat is important.
Yes, but if you put away 5 keto protein balls (10g protein, 30g fat) you’re eating a lot of calories that 10g protein, 20g carbs (including fibre) wouldn’t provide. My point is that just putting the label on it doesn’t make it conducive to your goals.
That’s before we get into “keto” products with 30-50g carbs per serving.
it's so you can eat things that taste like they're made of corn syrup but are actually made of whey.
like you don't have to change your eating habits, but you can meet your macros without going over your calorie limit
protein is the new electrolytes
Yeah, like, boah seriously, a milk drink has protein in it?
A different metric would be what kind of protein and how the body can utilize it. Btw, you can't beat an egg there.
