    it was making a fun of a shit craze with a humourous name that was satirical in its obvious redundancy and absurd juxtaposition of food product and technological naming conventions

    dude they knew exactly what they were doing.

    from the time they announced a "milder flavour" to "appeal to other markets"

    they were expecting die hards to flip their shit and guess what

    You know what? I was there at the AFL grand final when they apparently "announced" the name of it.

    Didn't actually hear what it was called until Monday.

    well what's wrong with your teeth?

    I went a couple months ago, got charged for a generic check up, tooth scaling and an extraction in the chair plus additional what have yous like anesthetic and assistant time and so forth

    and the total bill was ~$300

    oh well

    I mean you're looking at a minimum of $80-$100

    and you might end up needing to spend much, much more than that

    but usually if it's something big and expensive, it doesn't happen on the first visit. They'll send you off for xrays or whatever and you can take as long as you want between visits

    My sister had $3k worth of dental work when she was a teenager, that's enough for both of us

    I might go get a check up before I leave if this doesn't go away in the next couple of days

    I've been through a lot of crap with my teeth, doctors wanted $2000 for me to go under the knife and remove 4 wisdom teeth because they were burrowed into the jaw and I needed to get it scraped out. So rather than dishing out 2000 clams, I let nature take it's course and I expected them to just come out. How very fucking wrong I was. Turns out both my lower wisdom teeth were on an angle and pushing into my other teeth, being that there was nothing supporting the back tooth, it split open and my entire mouth felt like someone had driven a nail into my jaw ( and yes I have had a nail in my foot before )

    I thought I could bare the pain by getting lots of pain killers, antiseptic and clove ointment. I did not make it very far on these remedies. Eventually it was like chewing razors everytimeI moved my mouth and I woke up late at night in excruciating pain, I was blacking out and biting into my pillow to ease the pain. This did not work too well, so I dabbed a combination of tea tree oil, also a bit of clover oil onto the offending tooth and downed some asprin. This did not help as the broken open tooth was cutting into the gum. I pulled out my toolbox and bashed out the half of the tooth that was causing the problem. Eventually it went from sharp pain to burning hell and I doused the back of my mouth with whiskey and layed there awake and numb with a headache and the taste of jack and copper in my mouth.

    Turns out the guy next to me heard my pain and thought it was the next door neighbour.

    Lesson time kids : Give your pains to someone who can treat them, it's really not worth going through this crap.

    I'm not outraged at all by what the company did

    I'm outraged that the public bought it hook, line and sinker

    for 2 days, a good 50% of my facebook news feed was about fucking vegemite

    and here we are, months later, still talking about it
