One of Trump's Biggest Scams, the Foxconn Deal, Falls Apart

luxintenebris jokingly says...

FOX CONN (like what signal do you need?) bernie madoff smiles up at them now.

yup. would enjoy bk33 or tangled's take on this chess move.

every three-card monte dealer suddenly opened shop outside the WS capitol building on hearing this deal.

remember seeing this unfold, in the news, and thought "aren't they gonna be surprise to see what comes out of that can o' pringles?!"

bad move. morally questionably also. this is the company that had employees committing suicide on site. still could be. like that wasn't a red flag? kill their workers and they'd go easy on a cheesehead? (seriously? if they [at least] visited one of FC's factory wouldn't they've asked "what's those nets for?")

the deal reminded me of the ending scene in 'Angel Heart'... O'Rourke (playing Gov. Walker) and DeNiro (Foxconn or themselves). you know the one? (if you don't ***SPOILER ALERT*** skip the clip)

Nut Milking EXPOSED!

JiggaJonson says...

I think it's fair for the dairy industry to lobby for this. It's an argument of definition.

You make almond milk basically by taking almonds and blending them up with water then straining.


They could call it "milk-substitute" perhaps. Point being, it's not the same thing as milk from a cow.

Peanut butter went through a similar episode in history when Jif added a bunch of crap that wasn't peanuts to its mix.

"Jif, in an effort to overtake Skippy and Peter Pan, added sweeteners and reduced their actual peanut content to improve the flavor and increase the profit margin. According to a lab study (granted, by a lab run by Skippy’s parent company, Best Foods), Jif peanut butter contained 25 percent hydrogenated oil and only 75 percent actual peanuts. This greatly concerned the FDA and other consumer groups."

Today, you can't call a product "peanut butter" unless it's made of at least 90 percent ground up peanuts. Otherwise it has to be labeled "peanut-spread."

Caught My Chicken Sleeping

MilkmanDan says...

One sample "weird chicken behavior" is psychotically aggressive bantam (miniature) roosters.

Too small and ill equipped (not much spur, etc.) to do any damage to a human, but they *act* like they think they are velociraptors or something. Bring food in, fill their water, get vaguely close to them ... they attack your feet. My dad taught me to put my shoe between their legs and lift/kick them into a wall -- pretty hard. Stuns / dazes them for a minute or so -- long enough to fill their feed or whatever. But stay longer than that and they'll be right back to attacking your feet.


On the female side, hens sometimes choose very bizarre locations to lay their eggs. We had a metal cylindrical feeder thing with a tray at the bottom -- fill cracked corn or whatever into the cylinder (open on top), and it will gravity flow down as they eat some out of the bottom tray. We had one hen that liked to jump in the top of that cylinder (maybe 10 inch diameter) and then lay eggs on top of the food in there. Extremely tight fit, no room to move -- like putting your arm in a Pringles can. Sometimes she got stuck if the surface of the food was too far down.

I've even seen a hen that sat on the surface of a bough in a cedar tree. Enough branch and cedar foliage to hold up the hen's body, but then we found an egg right under her on the ground -- not dense enough material to actually keep the egg from falling through. The egg was broken, but the hen just stubbornly sat in that tree for a day or two, not realizing what had happened.

What happens when you give seagulls laxatives

Krupo says...

>> ^Brainmeats:

viral wtf? pringles -> diarrhea .. I'm sure thats the first thing they want people to connect with their brand....


So do they still do Olestra or not? It's the fake fat with the "anal leakage" problem.

So the laxatives would've been overkill if that were the case...

Interesting tack if it is viral, because while Pringles wants to reach the teens market, they don't want to be broadly associated with this kind of behaviour, even if it was faked. Tough call. I'm gonna say not viral marketing because, like most conspiracy theories, it would require too many people --including delinquent teens-- to keep quiet about it forever.

Pringles just got lucky.>> ^Dumdeedum:

If it's a viral then hopefully they faked it. If it's a viral and they didn't fake it, then I hope they get their arses sued off. Spotty delinquents being cruel to animals is one thing, companies doing it for profit is a whole different kettle of laxative-laced chips.

Cheeky, but clever, McDonalds advert

Shepppard says...

heh, this actually happened to me once in grade 7.

My friend and I went out for lunch to the mcdonalds down the street from my school. We got our food, and sat down and a group of.. Well, They were technically "Bullies" but I've always been one to be laid back enough that they don't care enough to bully me. Anyway, this group of 3 "bullies" comes in and sits at our table. I offer one of them a fry, to which all of them basically just jumped in and ate them

The funny part is, after they realized that they ate all my fries, they felt bad enough that they offered to go next door to the convenience store and steal me a tube of pringles, to which I politely declined.

Don't know why that always amused me, but it still does to this day.
