I'd take the Shrek candies over the minion tictacs every day. I received so many of them from out-of-touch relatives and they were the literal worst. they had a medicinal banana flavour, they made your breath smell worse and they were truly terrible to open. I'd take Shrek's green apple or sometimes lime-flavoured candies as the chance of lime is superior to the suffering that is an artificial banana. hell, I'd even take onion-flavoured tictacs over banana ones.

Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Because I feel like some adult would just pin the blame on the characters themselves for selling stuff to kids, when often the visions of artists that create those kind of characters don’t always aline with the intentions of the companies distributing them when they get put on products.

It's manipulative enough that all of Latin and South America banned cartoon mascots in advertising over the last three years. Mexico was the last hold put, banning the practice last year. Go look up how Mexican super markets dealt with it. You'll see workers putting red tape over the Lucky Charms Leprechaun on boxes they bought before the ban. Australia is set to pass similar legislation and the EU is considering the same thing, but have yet to put formal legislation. Needless to say, it's controversial and may well see its end here in the states before long. I suspect around the same time Mickey is forced into public domain and Disney losses an incentive to have cartoon mascots.

@marstothestars33 3 ай бұрын

They actually used to sell spaghetti. However, it actually didn't turn up a huge profit, and so it was discontinued everywhere except the Philipines (as spaghetti is a staple dish over there), and Orlando for some reason. After all, people don't come to McDonald's for spaghetti and breadsticks, they go for burgers and fries. Plus, pasta is super easy to make at home and is fairly cheap to. You can also have leftovers for days.

"I kinda like shrek!" 😆 brooo! This brought back so many Shrek filled memories! Shrek was fun, and actually good movies! All the gmod poop and memes born from shrek nothing short of GLORIOUS! I remember the green ketchup, the glasses, kid cuisine, Baskin Robin's, and all the others! SHREK WAS HUGE, and he was everywhere, especially happy meals and such! The early 2000s were wild! There was a new strange kids candy or snack every day! I remember watching cartoons and you'd get bombarded by ads of tons of stuff! I remember being obsessed with the 1st Shrek when it came out. I even have a story... I remember being at my aunts house and she was keeping there for a day or two. We had Shrek on VHS and I wanted to watch it. The weather had been REALLY bad out too! I watched all of Shrek and my aunt was like, "hey can we check the weather? It sounds bad out there!" And I was like "yeah....right after I watch Shrek one more time! >:D" so i watched the whole thing a 2nd time and at the Tornado sirens were going off right at the end of the movie. My aunt finally checked the weather and she said "oh lord! We gotta go get in the closet!" The weather was rough, and my aunt probably got scared, but i just couldn't refuse Shrek, his love, and my fascination with him! Good times back then, man! 😅🤣👌🏻
