Default Most Overprocessed Food in a TV commercial Award...

Has got to currently go to Pringle Prints. The awful same-shaped chips with
trivia pursuit-type questions on them. Just what the kids need, a coal-tar
dye education.

Good grief!

sandwiches?

I love Pringles. They're no more bogus than bread.
If I still ate carbs, I'd eat Pringles any day of the week!
Mmmmm . . .

What's really weird and artificial is JELLO.
If it wasn't for massive advertising and marketing,
and the long head start of history, nobody would
eat this stuff. If they were introducing the product
new today, from scratch, it would be a massive flop.
Who would eat a brightly colored, transparent,
quivering food? Terribly sweet, made from meat!
Gross out!

JELL-O isn't as overprocessed as Pringles.

Pringles do not taste the way they used to when they first came out 30 some odd
years ago. They used to taste like potato chips. Now they taste almost
doughy. I think they're using more filler and less potato, hence the name
"Potato Crisps."

Hey, I like Pringles. Much better than regular potato chips.

Yes, PB does come in slices, individually wrapped like cheese slices and
about the same thickness, but it's shitty brown in color.

There's probably a product designer driving around in a Porsche
because of that brilliant idea. And brilliant it is, if it sells.

I wonder what else could be packaged that way -- jelly,
Marmite, . . .

I saw a TV segment on the stuff. They basically roll out regular peanut
butter--just like what you buy in a jar--and wrap it up like they do the
individual cheese things. I don't eat much peanut butter, but if I did I
think I'd actually appreciate the convenience even though the slices may
look disgusting. Although they probably wouldn't make my short list of
overprocessed food, that rubbery cheese food or worse yet, cheese "product"
that even the law prohibits the manufacturers from calling food sure would,
though.
