Dinner, it's what's for dinner. Now with 5% more foodstuff.
Try our new Breakfast Dinner. The same Dinner you already know you are able to digest, but now you can have it for breakfast too.
But what will I have for lunch :/
Move to a place where they call lunch dinner and dinner supper. It's simple.
Be sure to move back for dinner- I mean supper. I mean dinner..
Are food labelling laws really that bad in the US? Can you really really buy "dinner" without having any idea what its main ingredient is?
Anytime I read some in-depth report about food regulations in the USA my jaw drops. Favourite permanent head-shaker: the FDA relies on manufacturers self-reporting if their food is "safe" - and has been for decades.
It's not just the FDA. The Department of Transportation standards for helmets have barely changed since they were set back in 74 based on flawed and already outdated data, and helmet manufacturers self report whether their helmets conform. It's estimated 20% of DoT helmets don't actually comply, despite being DoT certification.
I recall a small cookie or dessert company that listed "love" as an ingredient. FDA made them take it out of the list.
They also made Jeremy stop jacking off into the dough.
Hasn't tasted right since.
Well yeah...that's the "love" part. It would be false advertising if they took Jeremy away but still insisted it contained love.
I think this is just a supermarket thing. It's a generic label for the purpose of their inventory system for things they make themselves as opposed to something they sell that was purchased from a primary vendor.
My supermarket has a deli I can order sandwiches from and they'll have "lunch" or something to that effect on the label that has the barcode on it.
We do have very "strict" food labeling laws as far as what you can call a thing based on what's in it, so much so that I basically call it "food language." For example a product that is made with synthetic chocolate is not allowed to be called simply "chocolate," it can be called chocolaty or I think chocolate flavored, but not "chocolate."
I like to get the salads from Kroger sometimes and they are all labeled "SALAD" haha
Also there are some labels that are standard but not regulatory in nature, which results in the frankly beautiful stupidity that is a "non-GMO" label on a salt container.
Not just the main ingredient; every ingredient must be on the label where in from. What would people with allergies do otherwise?
It usually depends on the size of the company producing the food. It's different from place to place but there is usually an exception in food labeling laws for very small business. So if less than X is sold, if the companies revenues surpass Y, or if anything is sold across state lines it needs a nutritional label. Otherwise they're exempt. Doesn't mean that the specific seller in the photo isn't breaking the law but like everything it's a lot more nuanced than just everything needs a label.
Europe does the exact same thing with food like this - this is like going to the lunch/dinner buffet station thing at your grocery store that has a price per kg or whatever. You won't find exact ingredients on the price tag you slap on you weighed food.
Yes. Everything is “natural and artificial flavoring”. Also Tic-Tacs (which are literally just compressed balls of sugar) say in the nutrition facts that they have 0g of sugar because they keep the “serving size” just below the amount where they are allowed to round down to zero.
Whatever that is it would go good with hot sauce
Person 1: “I had a $5 dinner today”
Person 2: “What did you have?”
Person 1: “Dinner”
Person 2: …..
What flavour?
Dinner flavour.
Just make sure you use them by last January the 9th otherwise your mystery slabs could make you sick!
i'm a bit concerned about that label. if you look closelier, you'll see it's actually a date range: 1/9/25-18/8. this food doesn't even exist yet, and when it does it'll be good til august. but only if you're in europe.
I believe it's saying it was packed on 1/9/25, at 18:08.
you probably also believe that you're fun at parties, too :P
If those things are correlated, then I sure am!
you're actually the kind of person prefer to talk to, that was just a joke
Now with flavor
Winner winner, mystery dinner.
I would totally eat slabs like this if they ensured all vitamins and balanced macronutrients, and came in various flavors so I don't get bored.
Soylent?
I don't think that's balanced. Also I like to chew stuff, not drink slop
that term loses all its meaning when it's thrown at everything. Maybe you don't like meal replacements, or protein shakes, or even milkshakes, but calling Soylent slop is honestly uninformed.
You don’t have to make someone else’s product marketing your identity btw
When i picture "slop" i typically associate it with a nasty viscous liquid and I think soylent actually fits perfectly into that box. Even if its like cool or good or you like it or whatever
does it come in suflur flavor?
Darn, I was looking for breakfast
Gotta be Mac and Cheese inside. What the Canadians call Kraft Dinner.
I'm gonna be honest, it looks tasty. I'd try it.
I'll take it, and another one to-go... Side of gravy. I'm a bit of a health nut.
Quantity of 1 dinner.

Your customers can't compare prices with the competition if there's nothing to compare.
Lewis Fresh Market, it's what's for Dinner.
Welp, its spelled differently so im glad its not near me.
