Corwin: Kraft Foods released a line of flavored peanut butters in the 1970s called Koogle that didn't fare so well. You'll love Koogle - the crappy nutty surprise! Despite the bad choice of lyrics for the jingle, it became an instant hit with the kids, mainly due to an ad campaign featuring an oversized jar-shaped mascot with "googly" spinning eyes, and the fact that it was mostly sugar and saturated fat. It also contained several mystery ingredients more commonly used in the production of foam-rubber and flame-retardant insulation used in the commercial aircraft industry, that were found to be surprisingly delicious, and in taste-tests children preferred them 5 to 1 over lead-paint. Some years later, further testing found Koogle brand peanut spread to cause several kinds of cancer and terminal organ failure in rats. So, product labeling was altered to include a vivid warning - " !! Under no circumstances should this product be fed to rats !! " But despite this precaution, the product began to lose popularity by the late 1970s when their primary market demographic began mysteriously shrinking in numbers. ------------------------------- Disclaimer: Most of the above post is just made-up shit. ![]() Angry Beaver: Trump food: If you eat enough carrots—about three large carrots a day for several weeks—it increases the beta-carotene in your blood and could turn your skin orange.
