It's like this closeup of sand grains. I just wanna eat entire mouthfuls of sand now.
And to think, our elderly neighbor who would offer them to guests when we were little was just being sweet. Thanks for the poison, Edna! 😡
Recently learned that a relatively small amount of Nerds (95 pieces iirc?) has a years worth of arsenic in them.
Not a great book, from what I understand. A memoir with, oh dear, fabrications, which was a scandal and now seems pretty quaint. Book jacket design by Chip Kidd.
the great Oprah scandal as she promoted this book like she was getting a cut of the sales then when learning it was more fantasy than truth brought him on-air so she could play deceived,crushed reader
Probably was the very beginning of the Oprah crack up of her pushing up charlatans and evil goons
And we were all supposed to understand that in the scandal between the pablum TV host and the guy who told some fibs and fictions about his own anonymous life, the latter was somehow the more malign influence.
are those microplastics, or did someone dip their fingers into the bottom of a nerds gummy clusters bag?

No, those are really made of carnauba wax, unless they're made of melted beetles.
😂 I was visiting my parents ydy. My sister had noticed they had no smoke detectors, so bought some. I was installing them, since I'm experienced. I dropped a plastic anchor near her new puppy, picked it up quick, and said: good thing she didn't eat it. And: you don't want to know what she eats! 😂
I thought these were the little things you hold corn on the cob with
You are not wrong. Microplastics look like candy sprinkles.

lol, was thinking that was a nice sprinkled donut.
We used to all eat a peck of dirt before we die; now we eat a credit cards’ worth of microplastics. 🤷🏻♀️
