    Is it just me or are there way more “collabs” between brands now? Or movie/TV show tie-ins too. Seems like nothing is just it’s own thing, sure they have the “original” but it’s right next to all the cross promotional stuff too. Am i watching capitalism ouroboros itself?

      It’s mainly the fact that someone not only came up with this and then pitched it but then it was greenlit.

      I just happened to be having a mental breakdown and this shocked me so much it brought me out of a panic attack.

            I am not really familiar enough with either product to have developed any strong feelings about them.

              I get that but the idea of taking snack food, grinding it into a powder, then coating beef jerky with it is fuckin insane to me.

              It’s the kind of combination that only exists as a capitalist marketing tactic in an oversaturated market filled with shit no one asked for or needed.

            Mate I have still no idea what the problem is. Should I know that thing or rather what it should look like? I do not.

              The product is a bag of Jack Links / Doritos Nacho Cheese Flavored Beef Jerky. Highly processed beef, highly processed cheese, doubly highly branded. It just feels like late stage capitalism. Both of these brands already make low-nutritional-value foods with addictive, hyperpalatable attributes, and here they’re trying to hybridize into some kind of abomination.

              People just feel like the world is off its axis, you know?
