I think when smaller brands get gobbled up there is a new pressure for “shareholder value” or whatever. That leads to adopting processes and changes to ingredients that are designed on paper to cut costs, boost profits and not change the product. However often times these changes do end up changing the product. I…

It’s so true re: the quality of the SheaMoisture products.  There was also the huge marketing fail from a few years ago when SM was trying to expand its market away from being known for black hair care.  Little to none of the people in the ads were black.  They ignored their huge fanbase.

Honestly I came into this article hoping for some Coke grenades

I’ll, admit, RoS’s somewhat questionable quality has dampened my enthusiasm for Galaxy’s Edge, but there’s so much other stuff there not totally tied to the sequels that I think I would still have an absolute blast.

Perfect. That transport was made for space. 

Right, that’s my takeaway as well. It’s not just that they are own my brand, Though I am selfish, I really don’t want to stop using Dove products, I genuinely like the results for the bucks. And you can pry my Knorr Caldo de Pollo from my cold, dead hands.
 

Jack LaLanne’s wife’s name was Elaine, and I think that’s great.

It’s not surprising - Unilever may be the parent business but all of brands under it are run pretty independently and have their own leadership. I am sure the quality of the leadership at the brand level varies widely. 

Which is interesting, especially as the Dove campaigns are praised for lauding “natural beauty” and all women.  

I had a similar, but somewhat different experience. As a kid, I was a straight A, gifted student, that was allowed to go to some prestigious elementary school due to my grades.

In my 20s I went to a new beau’s house to have dinner and watch a movie. He lived in a tiny 1 BR with barely enough room for both of us to be in the living room together. Around 10 p.m. he comes out of the bathroom and says, “I just took LSD.” What? So I got to sit there and watch him go further and further into his…

Yeah I stayed in a hotel in my city because I did not rent this studio apartment with the intention of working in it and being inside 24/7.

“If there are, then I stand corrected.”

Do the kids still use the term “bad trip”? Because I’m thinking I’d be scared to drop a tab (do the kids still use the term drop a tab?) right now because I’d go on a bad trip. Maybe the microdosing is the secret? I don’t know. But, yeah, this 2020 trip is bad enough and I’m not a kid so my risk aversion is way up. A…

Came to say the same! That’s a quite stately looking manor, fit for a murder mystery or school for gifted mutant teenagers. A quick Google image search of McMansion offers about a million better images. 

“Psychedelics—including mushrooms and ketamine—have been found to improve users’ mindsets, and in some cases, vanquish depression altogether.”

They’re gonna have to rebuild my confidence in reviews. The overwhelming amount of of straight-up shilling and Amazon service around here makes me doubt anything that’s posted as a review.

A couple things I’d like to see Giz improve if the herbs and budgets allow

I wouldn’t mind videos and podcasts...if they stayed off the site. I cannot stand the videos that masquerade as articles and the autoplay has probably bled this site of many, many visitors.

I am lactose intolerant and it has never stopped me from drinking whole milk or heavy cream straight outta the carton. So much pain. I regret nothing.
