Only PARTIALLY hydrogenated. Damn. These people never do something all the way, do they?
By Andrew Pollack on 01/12/2006 at 02:00 PM ESTThe image below is what happens if you leave a Cheese Puff on a piece of notebook paper overnight. This is because the cheap bastards are only PARTIALLY hydrogenating their vegetable oil.
For those who never bothered to look this up, the big chemical difference between good old fashioned animal fat and vegetable fats (oils) comes down to the number of hydrogen atoms in the molecule. The result of this lower amount of hydrogen atoms ends up being that vegetable fat is a liquid at room temperature while animal fat is a solid at that temperature. When they "Hydrogenate" vegetable oil, they make it more like animal fat.
Aside from being yummy, this also prevents the horrors that you see documented below. Come on guys, get this right! We can't be having Cheese Puff's ruining our paperwork. Oh I know these healthy eating wackos claim that by making it more like animal fat it isn't as healthy for you. Here's the thing....they're not living any longer. They're just so boring to be around that it seems like its longer. I am a human. I have incisors for tearing apart meat because I am by nature an omnivore. We know herbivores eat vegetables and carnivores eat meat. Humans, as omnivores eat everything. This includes Cheese Puffs which are nether animal nor vegetable. They are omnibles.
those master chefs of American snackery Frito-Lay. Generically: any bogus
nibbles.

The truth is, I haven't had much to say that was worthy of more than a basic social media post -- until today. For my current work, I was assigned a new laptop. It's a real powerhouse machine with 14 processor cores and 64 gigs of ram. It should be perfect for running my development environment in a virtual machine, but it wasn't. VirtualBox was barely starting, and no matter how many features I turned off, it could ......

I want a military prepared to help us, not just hurt other people. As an American I expect that with the ridiculous funding of our military might, we are prepared for damn near everything.

The trolls do a reverse web search on those images looking for hits. When they find one on a site that looks like someone they can scare, they work it like ......
