Replace someone’s bedside lube with this.

[-] EmoBean@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago

Or the office hand sanitizer

Or the office lube

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 49 points 10 months ago

Flavored lubes have gone too far

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 11 points 10 months ago

You're joking, but if they actually made a flavored lube like this I bet it'd sell.

[-] Knusper@feddit.de 7 points 10 months ago

Ketchup contains vinegar. Probably don't want that down there...

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah, it'd obviously need to be made of other ingredients. The sugar content would also likely cause some issues.

[-] Knusper@feddit.de 3 points 10 months ago

I was gonna say, I'm not sure there's non-acidic ingredients that have the same acidic/sour taste.

But there are these bubblegums that are extremely sour, so I guess, we do have a way of triggering those taste receptors without melting away your jaw. 🫠

[-] BeardedBaker@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Everything sour is acidic, the sour taste comes from the hydrogen ions (protons) donated by acids blocking the potassium ions leaving your taste buds, this creates a depolarization and opens voltage gated calcium channels, the influx of which causes neurotransmitter release. Sour gums/candies don't contain Acetic acid (vinegar) but instead Citric acid and sometimes Malic acid.

Ahhhh Pepsi clear vibes. No regrats.

[-] agame@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

You mean no ragrets?

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 6 points 10 months ago

No rugrats

Quick, somebody call LA Beast!

[-] UtMan1988@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Have A Good Daaaayyyy

[-] WoefKat@lemmy.ml 21 points 10 months ago

This is nonsense of course. The colour of food makes a surprising difference in how palatable we find it.

This would never sell and heinz knows it :) even if it tasted the same.

Ginger beer/ale is a thing. Not quite sure how it would interact with the mountain dew, but I could certainly see trying it.

I think gimmicky limited-time-only products have become more prevalent in the past few years. The type of stuff that people buy because they're curious and never buy again.
I wonder why this is the case now, maybe there's a perceived uptick in sales of the original product when the gimmicky variety is out there?

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Old marketing strat. The idea is just to get people talking about the brand. If the limited-run item doesn't sell, or if there isn't an uptick in the regular product's sales (normally there isn't) it's no big deal. The brand got more staying power in the public's mind. That's what matter.

[-] reptar@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I suspect the uptick is in the limited-time-only. Maybe a chance to capture new customers too.

[-] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago

The only time I ever see limited run items is when they are on clearance shelves or at the Amish clearance place because they are absolute shit. I guess I’ve rarely actually seen limited run products near the original.

Sometimes I buy them at the steep discount (couple bucks tops) to see if I’m missing anything. Usually not. For example I bought some cotton candy balls.. think cheese balls but blue and cotton candy flavored. Except they tasted more like marshmallows, being a cornstarch puff.. I still have most of the container because they weren’t very good lol

[-] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

Here in Australia we sold Burger sauce hot cross buns with melted cheese and pickles on it... Companies will make anything just to see if we will eat it.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

I'm definitely curious enough that I have to try these abominations. It's fun

[-] Can_you_change_your_username@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

You must not have been alive for the 90s when we had neon gel flavoring to draw on our oatmeal with and random balls floating in a very thick soft drink and a marvelous thing called a Gelooze.

[-] Yokozuna@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I remember the green one, I tried to eat it but my brain wouldn't let me.

[-] Maeve@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

Gimmicks to sell empty, bland calories, so we don’t realize people can be heavy and literally starving to death.

[-] Bonehead@kbin.social 7 points 10 months ago

This would never sell and heinz knows it

Are we sure about that?

[-] Norgur@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

Yay, teletubby vomit!

[-] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

And they know that, because they already did kinda try it:

Mmm tomato flavored hand sanitizer

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

Just when I thought ketchup couldn't get any more disgusting

[-] ArbiterXero@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Like it wasn’t bad enough already and now it looks like lube? Ugh!

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Hey! Lube is tasty

[-] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

And to think the most interesting thing I learned today was that heinz sells vinegar.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

While this was an interesting mock-up, the clear "ketchup's" viscosity is far too thick.

[-] Discoslugs@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Jesus fuckin Christ
