    Uhuh. I’m going to need the exact name of this product so I know what to avoid exactly.

    You think it’s sold on Amazon? You know so I don’t buy it.

    How much is it? I just want to complain about the price.

      Assuming you live in a country with strict ingredient labeling standards and have an encyclopedic knowledge of additives and what they might do to you.

      If you want something harmful where you KNOW what’s in it and why it’s harmful, just grab a bag of sugar and a spoon 😉

        My uncle was in the confectionery industry, and he used to say that cotton candy (which is literally just sugar) was the healthiest food in theme parks.

        He’s probably right, too, because each ball of cotton candy is made from a relatively small amount of sugar.

          this is also why i actually think hard candy that’s basically just solid sugar, is the best kind.
          Because you’re sucking on it and the sugar dissolves into your saliva you get a lot of sweetness that lasts a long time, rather than constantly shoveling stuff into your mouth.

          Now, i have no clue how terrible it is for your teeth to soak your mouth in sugar water for hours on end, but it’s not like that doesn’t happen with other candies, and i’d imagine it’s pretty good to avoid chewing on sugar?

    a product sold as a honey-based, male sexual enhancement supplement

    The agency warned consumers not to buy the product in October, noting it contained “the active ingredient in Cialis.”

    On one hand, I get it, on the other, we know it 100% works at least, unlike when they put oyster or horny goat weed or whatever in that stuff.

    Reminds me of all the “natural viagras” being sold in turkey. Every fucking fruit or preserved fruit based dessert is sold as an aphrodisiac.

      Maybe Turkish people just REALLY like fruit to the point that all of it becomes de facto afrodisic? Is that a word? It is now!

        all of those are words except afrodisic. It’s “aphrodisiac” from “Aphrodite”
