I should have specified chocolate Halloween candy.  The mainstream, fun size chocolate candy bars have problematic cocoa sourcing and contain pam oil.  

Ah yes. I knew most of them were environmental related so I thought perhaps it was the packaging. Palm oil also makes sense.

Or Pam oil.

Ranch dressing

Or the absence thereof

As of today, essential oils.

Why today? What did I miss? I already thought they were bullshit for many years, and I know we've discussed them before from multiple angles.

ETA: N/M Found it. We had discussed resource usage, but not on ozone.

Almost every politician /celebrity. 😂

I'm sleep deprived with a new puppy.  I know this is funny and am foggy- something about reviews?  Can you remind me?

How was Halloween candy ruined?

I should have specified chocolate Halloween candy.  The mainstream, fun size chocolate candy bars have problematic cocoa sourcing and contain pam oil.  

Is this specific to the fun size ones?

Internet troll (and I do mean the entire internet, she pops up everywhere) gets reeeeeaaaaaal mad if the wait staff doesn't bring the exact right of ranch dressing to her when requested.

No. The big name, popular chocolate companies use child labor to harvest. It’s not just an environmental issue.

Ok thank you I couldn’t imagine why it would only affect fun-size bars.

I always think of this when I see the State Farm commercial with the "side of ranch."

Just in regards to ruining Halloween.  Big Ag ruins a lot and has a vast array of problems.

Ok, maybe not second life, but I was too young back in FH days to know about anything else. So all my knowledge of it came quite a bit later. Actually, isn't Dave not quite so clean either?
name me a comedian other than bill cosby that is clean

Yes this AND anodyne, she had some sort of google or other alert so that if her user name was cited somewhere she would know and come rain some crazy on that post and the rest of the board.

Every time I have to ask for ranch dressing at a restaurant I think of her and this board. Thankfully i don't order ranch that often, lol.

I searched and found an old post on this. There are some things that have been ruined so long that I'm guessing we don't remember like Bill Cosby, greek yogurt, Halloween candy, song lyrics (Baby It's Cold Outside, Blurred Lines,) quinoa, clothing donation, etc..

I remember almond and cashew milks, recycling, microbeads, fleece, and I know there are others.

Wait, can you provide details on and nut milk?

[AAM2012]

Bananas


Also power lines in my backyard…but I think she was pre-GBCN

Incredibly water intensive crops & grown in drought prone areas

I can’t believe I still have this.

Not CEP per se, but I’m so damn sick of the word “unprecedented”

There aren’t enough wild bees to pollinate all the almond trees needed to meet demand. So they get trucked around. Lots of them die in the process.

Cashews have to be manually peeled. Big forced labor industry.

Oh- that reminded me: pre-peeled garlic is often from China and produced by forced labor.

[katfco]

So, can we start listing things that AREN'T ruined? I feel like that list is shorter at this point.

[cattledogkisses]

CEP did get me to switch from almond milk to oat milk, but now CEP will probably ruin oat milk too.

And the fact that we define “suits” very loosely here.

I mean. Swimsuit and birthday suit should count. It has suit in the title! 😅

I have said this so many times to H. I feel like it comes up in my work emails so much and I want to destroy my computer screen. If I never hear the word again I will be delighted.
