It still baffles me how Pepsi can consistently come up with such alienating ideas.

It sounds gross, I hate those made up words and... no. There is a reason beverages and snack food have remained separate. They compliment each other! Mixing them just seems like Heresy.

They should spend their time on more profitable pursuits, like caffeinated bacon - or baconated grapefruit.

Can't they just lower their prices a bit instead? Would attract loads more people to pepsi rather than puke-a-cola.

Really, Pepsi? You know how to introduce kids to fruits. GIVE THEM SOME. You take some grapes, set them in front of the kid. You take an orange. You slice it up. YOU GIVE IT TO YOUR KID. What happens if they don't eat it? You make them eat the damn fruit. Talk about parents being pansies these days.

Done and done.


For the record, any type of food product that can have the word "slurrified" accurately describe it has to be outright revolting.

We need to porkify snacks!

I can't decide if I want to use those words or not. They're just so ridiculous. "Aww man, my ice cream is totally drinkified."

I thought up a similar concept a while ago when I realized that I had to clone myself and get four jobs in order to cover the family debt.

I called it "Almost food" a substance that is almost nourishing, capable of sustaining life, and cheap enough that you could buy barrels of it for the price of a single meal. I'm still working on the formula. I hope Pepsi doesn't beat me to it.

You know, eating an apple is so damn inconvenient. I mean you have to chew, and then there's the stem...blargh! This product is my personal salvation! Finally I'll be able to slouch on my bed, and still eat some fruit. Yeah...this is awesome!
/sarcasm

Uh...no thanks. I kinda prefer my GMO apples to be in one piece. And to be caffeinated, but that's another story...

Remember the scene in Robocop, where he's just been built, and we're being shown along with some guy, that the small amount of organic material, well, it needs sustenance, and he flips the lever on the machine, and that stuff comes out?

Yeah, i think you can see where i'm coming from.

Plus, yeah, pre-chewed food? May as well smash our jaws out now, spare evolution the job. There are ideas like the hard drive: seeing a need and filling it.

This here is a gap in the market for a good reason.

Oh. For. Fuck's. Sake.

This kind of food perversion has to stop. If we do not stop this in time, we'll end up with....with......

No...just.....no.

We eat food because for more than just fucking Nutrition. It's just as much, if not more, about Taste and Texture; The ingestion of food is an act of pleasure AS WELL as an act of necessity.

That....thing... doesn't seem to have Taste, Texture, or Pleasure....so, No....just...no.
