For those playing at home, "made with" doesn't have an FDA definition, so it only means there was a nonzero presence of mozzarella cheese in the manufacturing process. Basically, homeopathic cheese.

Or you can pick up the one made that day in house and packaged up fresh. Or even but the raw ingredients it you are feeling brave.

Yeah, that's how it works today, but not how it used to be. We keep forgetting the option to not buy crap, which is how this house operates.

So weird hearing all the bitching about capitalism when we collectively buy garbage. Yes, we're screwed in many unavoidable ways, but our consumption is 98% controllable.

Reminds me of my crack whore (most literally) neighbor back in the day. She was making fun of me for buying decent toilet paper when she got the single-ply shit for cheap. "Yeah, but you're using twice as much for more money." "Sucker!"

My wife and I buy almost nothing new and shop Aldi for food. I can walk out of Aldi with almost twice the food as the most expensive grocery 1-mile down the road. Guess which store is swamped with customers and which is nearly empty. For context, this is a redneck suburb of a poor American city.

Pointing out which brands don't fool the consumer is an ad? The bar seems really low nowadays.

I thought the fediverse doesn’t have ads?

If you're asking whether you thought that, we can't answer for sure.

So is it an ad for Totinos or Aldi?

Who told you that?

I've never had one, but I assume it tastes like the 90's elementary school "rib" sandwich from the cafeteria. Maybe worse.

Yeah but the animal they originally made it from went extinct.

This behavior is by design.

Keep in mind you also aren't a child/teenager anymore. I used to love Doritos and mountain dew 15 years ago, but I never touch either anymore.
