I hadn't heard about this in awhile. I had hoped it had gone away.
It's probably the worst product name in history. It's like a gag product you'd find on Think Geek, like cans of Unicorn Meat.
I want to throw up just thinking about choking down that snot-like material.
- MichaelDickens 13y ago> It's probably the worst product name in history. It certainly gets people's attention, though, doesn't it?
- colechristensen 13y agoSo you're not interested in the product, why do you care that it goes away?
- nsxwolf 13y agoI'm just hoping it isn't successful. I'm not looking forward to a future where a co-worker at lunch time says "No thanks, brown-bagging it today!" and guzzles it down.
- jack-r-abbit 13y agoIf your coworker is brown bagging it, what do you care what is in their bag? I ate lunch with coworkers today and one of them had eggplant. I hate eggplant with a passion... but what do I care what she ate?
- nsxwolf 13y agoI don't know. Feel free to psychoanalyze me. Normally I wouldn't care, as long as what was in the bag was some kind of actual recognizable food.
- amckenna 13y agoYou can hope it doesn't catch on at your work, or that it doesn't enable your co-workers to be anti-social, but to wish for its failure as a product seems overboard and selfish. There are millions of people that work with very limited breaks that would appreciate a cheap and relatively healthy alternative to fast food or crap from a cafeteria.

- colechristensen 13y agoThis is a stupid amount of petty intolerance. What other people eat is their own damn business, and if you don't like it keep quiet and don't try to push your personal preferences on other people.
- diminoten 13y agoHow is this the kind of comment you'd expect to leave on HN? "I hope it goes away, its name sucks, and using it would literally make me vomit." Astounding commentary, nsxwolf. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
- nsxwolf 13y agoYou can look at my comment history and see that I never post comments like this. This is an exception because I find this so utterly repulsive and repugnant. Somewhere deep down in my soul I find this just anti-human, like a bunch of transhumanist lemmings that can't wait to jump off the whole humanity train so they're going to start by eliminating food. Next comes truth, followed by beauty.
- Karunamon 13y agoAnti human? You mean like prosthetic limbs? You mean like artifical organs to replace failed natural ones? Wow, I thought the "humanist" mindset parodied in the recent deus ex game was a complete invention. Apparently it really exists. Thanks for the most absurd thing I've read all year this side of 4chan.
- nsxwolf 13y agoProsthetic limbs and organs attempt to replace their natural equivalents. Why you would think I have a problem with that, I have no idea. So far I haven't seen amputees opting for tentacles instead of legs, or people deliberately amputating healthy limbs so they can run faster with blades. That would gross me out.
- Karunamon 13y ago> Why you would think I have a problem with that, I have no idea. Because you're having this visceral, irrational reaction to what is essentially a nutritionally-modified Ensure or Slimfast or any other meal replacement drink that's been around for the past 20 years! Wait until prosthetics are on equal ground with the real thing - I'd wager once that time comes, willfully trading the real limb for an artifical one will become a real thing.
