I just got out of the shower. what is with the product placement ?

I love that he is appearing in front of A white house. Not THE White House but his base won’t care. The vibes are right, ya know?
Looks like he finally found the right Four Seasons. Good for him.
Yea, but he showed up at the employee entrance and won't leave. They were in the middle of unloading the food truck too, no one got the complementary breakfast today
The Four Seasons ain’t serving Folgers. That place isn’t a prison.
I think prisons could be replaced by being sentenced to Folgers for periods of time
According to Scalia, a punishment must be cruel and unusual to be unconstitutional. Foldgers may be cruel, but it's not unusual. Go for it.
He looks like Great Value Candidate.
Or "Mom, can we have the White House?"
No. We have a perfectly good White House at home!
Yep, and your home is your castle: you have the right to mag dump your gold plated desert eagle pistoleros at anyone who you’re afraid is looking at it.
Crap, now I want White Castle sliders.
Well crap, are there other companies I need to add to my list along with "Goya" for "never going to buy their products again?
As much as I'd love to be picky I'm barely hanging on here, I'm buyin whatever is on sale
Hell yeah hang in there, I hope good times come your way soon. You deserve it!
Please consider: shoplifting
Stealing food from corps is never wrong
I try to stick to what's on sale, and go store brand when possible... except for cheese
Hate to show you this...but there's a shit ton of shitty companies
Edit- For some reason, I couldn't upload the higher res version, so here's a link. https://www.oxfamamerica.org/explore/stories/these-10-companies-make-a-lot-of-the-food-we-buy-heres-how-we-made-them-better/
Well, technically there are a shit ton of shitty subsidiaries. There are only like six companies, period. Which is a problem in and of itself. And it turns out all six are shitty.
⭐️⭐️🌈✌️😘
Going to need a higher resolution image, I can barely tell some of the brands on here
You can add Pringles to the Mars tree
...? Did you even look at the picture? That's 60-70%+ of the brands in any major retailer. It a bit of an oversight to suggest that poor decision making is leading to buying from these shit companies. You have to actually go out of your way to NOT buy one of these brands.
No problem, I'll just fly to another country to do my grocery shopping
I don't buy anything from LITERALLY any of those brands, and YOU need to learn about nutrition!!
you sound pretty good at sharing the wisdom you've accrued and not coming off like an arrogant, self righteous blow job
Did you look at the picture? Almost half the info graphic is international brands.
I'm still on the buycott for Kelloggs after they dropped breittbart so all I buy is special k. Unless they've changed something since then.
Edit. Looking it up, looks like they were doing alrightish but then they busted a union. On the other hand Post is working with trump, and general mills has been working with Israeli settlements. I guess you can go with some small brands. I'll still buy Kelloggs until I hear they change paths on breitbart since it's what I'd been doing.
So you're boycotting Kellogg's by buying... Kellogg's cereal?
Buy cott. I'm buying Kelloggs on purpose
What? Ah, nevermind, I got you. Fairy fucks
I had to read your message a few times before 1 clocked the U
Cereal is awful. Probably just avoid it altogether.
What do you mean? How else can you stop masturbation?
I'll never buy Maxwell House and Folgers again! I mean I never bought them previously...
Yeah I switched to Badia
Download the app GUU (Goods Unite Us ) it shows companies political contributions to which party. Or just look at the lemmy community goodsuniteus@lemmy.ca
He's so sleepy looking and low energy
So old and tired
It’s weird
Sleepy Don
Didn't their previous sponsor, that pillow guy, go to prison?
Not yet, currently just super broke and attempting to pay for legal fees.
Wow, look at that guy. He's old and looks to be suffering from some form of cognitive disorder. Is he having a stroke? Is it dementia? Too much adderall? He should drop out and seek treatment. It's just sad.
Good time to see which politician companies support. Check out the lemmy community goodsuniteus@lemmy.ca Or the app GUU (Goods Unite Us ) or site https://www.goodsuniteus.com/
Capitalists supporting capitalist supporters? I'm shocked.
This looks like a scene of a satire dystopian movie, like robocop or the running man...
It‘s literally Idiocracy
Nope Idiocracy is far more optimistic.
Remember, they found our someone was more intelligent so they gave him the job of fixing the country.
Or Idiocracy
Old man complaining about something with some trash nearby. That stuff isn't anything I would normally buy but I am for sure not buying any of it now.
I have bought Folgers and Maxwell House in the past when in a pinch but never will again. Fuck any companies that support fascism.
Johnsonville, Jimmy Dean, Folgers, Maxwell house and Post cereals are now joining Goya, Amazon, Chic Fil A and Walmart on my boycott list.
I liked Johnsonville :(
Aw man, goodbye Johnsonville beer boiled brats
"I am told, these things are groceries"
His handlers told him to talk about more kitchen table issues, so he brought a kitchen table.
"And don't get me started on folding tables guys"
The crowd cheers and froths at the mouth
They’re the work of the devil. They always used to say they fold, but now suddenly they’re tables? Are they tables or do they fold? Why don’t they know what they are?
Crooked folding tables is what I call em. And a lot of people will say they never stand up right. They'll tell you, "I never trust those folding tables". They're losers. Total losers
"I think we actually need more tax. Putty Tacks, for school teachers! And Mexico should pay for them!"
I didn’t watch it but my guess is the context is something like “all these groceries got more expensive under Joe Biden!” He was bitching about not being able to afford bacon a couple days ago.
This man has never done his own groceries
What can a box of cereal cost, $30?
Damn avocado toast cereal.
Yet it's that fat fuck's lack of attention to pandemic profiteering that led to the inflation. The last 4 years have been trying to mitigate the effects of his half-assed handling of the situation.
Isn't it always funny that the last 2 Democrat presidents inherited absolute economic shit shows from republicans and managed to turn things around only to be blamed for causing the problems that were left to them....
It just seems to be how it goes. It's the same here in Australia. The conservatives fuck everyone who is not already wealthy, then the progressive get elected just long enough to get blamed for how fucked everything is, and the conservatives get elected again because they're "superior economic managers".
The last three Democratic presidents. Clinton inherited the massive debt run up by Reagan and Bush I, and in just six years not only eliminated the deficit but also started producing a fucking surplus. If that sort of financial responsibility had been continued instead of being thrown in the trash by Bush II and Dick "Reagan proved that deficits don't matter" Cheney, we would have eliminated the national debt years ago.
He was bitching about not being able to afford bacon a couple days ago.
That's because of the lawsuits, not inflation.
Surely they wouldn't do that...
"Look at how expensive crooked sleepy Joe biden has made this trash. Who would even buy this."
hes standing next to what i eat!
hes got my vote!
As a European, I genuinely laughed. Then I remembered the deteriorating effect of US bullshit on my country and cried.
Time to boycott all those companies. Added to the list that includes Goya.
I don't know if those companies had any say in whether their products were used, but this wasn't supposed to be for advertising. It was supposed to be a gimmick for what was stated to be a message on the economy, but the orange atrocity personified saw a squirrel and the whole address ended up being the same whiny bullshit.
Johnsonville certainly supports this, I'm not sure about the others. I boycotted Johnsonville for a long time because of their financial support for Walker in Wisconsin years ago.
99% sure I saw that Folgers supports the right.
I mean, the way coffee gets to us seems pretty on brand for the right.
Plot twist: the products were placed by competing brands because they knew the product placement would backfire
America Decides…
MAXWELL HOUSE… or… FOLGERS!
Fr tho stable jenius looks real low energy lol
Screw the sissy coffee brands. I'm drinking the Iron Goddess of Mercy Oolong this morning. And tomorrow I might have some Lumber Slut Shu Pu Er.
I only want products with a manly name!
I for one am excited for this new form of capitalism! The government picks one brand to be the national brand for everyone.
Hey, wait a minute...
If you go far enough to the right, command economies become a cool idea again.
He's trying to appeal to boomers.
Nothing says boomer more than warm, raw Jimmy Dean's!
donOLD
Guess no more honey bunch of oats. I hope cheerios is good.
Sadly, there was also a box of Cheerios on the table, just not in this particular screenshot.
These are prrtty solid if you still want the oats and can find.them. https://www.cheerios.com/oat-crunch-cereals
Or just don't buy shit over processed food.
Actually interested in how to make my own cereal. Any tips, suggestions, advice?
Take a cup of steel cut oats (NOT rolled or instant), put them in pot with four times it's volume in water. Bring to a boil then simmer for about twenty minutes stirring occasionally. Add half a cup of milk and one egg near the end. Stir well. Mix with honey if you like it sweet. Add some nuts and berries. Dig in.
A breakfast that's not worthless.
Bit unusual. Might give this a try. Thanks
The egg makes it deliciously creamy.
I also add bananas and walnuts usually.
Just letting us know what not to buy ever again
Goddamnit I liked honey bunches of oats.
Good news! Post people donate heavily to Dems and not much to Republicans... Not sure about the dark money though... No idea why he's got breakfast there... Think he might be losing it
Any chance their campaign just randomly grabbed stuff from the grocery store and put them there? Not sure the companies approved of this display. They do the same thing with music at Trump rallies. They just assume they can use it.
It’s from a clip where Trump is showing the price changes for the items everyday Americans purchase, there were more tables with toilet paper, bread, milk, cheese, etc. He was saying that Kamala Harris was responsible for how expensive everything got and that it would continue if she wins.
Sure, I understand that. Just not so sure that the companies approved the use of their products as props.
Wtf is the message here supposed to be?
"vote for fascism. Fascism has better coffee"
But folgers is not good coffee
They probably did... Folgers and Jimmy Dean are pretty right-wing, but Post gives mostly to Dems according to open secrets... I don't know about the others
That's just his normal breakfast.
I don't fucking believe you. No way that ass nugget eats anything resembling healthy. That pos probably has his cronies remove the non marshmallows from his lucky charms.
That pile resembles healthy?
What's a healthy breakfast?
Something like yogurt and fruit or an omelette
A cigarette and a coffee looks like a healthier breakfast than whatever is on that table
There literally is coffee on that table. You can choose to take the right portions of carbs (cereal) and fats and protein (various meats).
.....the coffee and cigarette is a stereotypical idea of a comically unhealthy breakfast.
that was the point.
There's a hell of a lot more to eating healthy than just balancing 3 simple macros. Especially when what you're balancing is a load of processed shite in bright plastic containers.
So we're talking about packaging then? Not the food itself? Do you know what type of containers yogurt is shipped in? Or even a lot of fruits? Surely you have a better argument than that?
Lol what a silly hill to die on
What's your argument?
"shitty unhealthy food can be eaten in half the recommended portions!" Isn't mine.
Guarantee you're fat
Lol just because you said that, I just became certain that your BMI is far higher than mine. Which btw is below the overweight designation lol
Out here simping for Folgers and want respect!. Rich!
'Deleted'?!?!? Well that doesn't instill a lot of confidence.
Yeah some people realize when they made a mistake. You wouldn't understand
No, but that particular cereal poses as a healthy cereal.
Junk advertising by a weird junk candidate.
Eh that bitch sold beans from the oval office, we know he can be bought and sold on the cheap
Him being sponsored by Folger's has the same energy as this parody of a real Folger's advertisment.
Damn, I was nodding along, accepting this as real, for way too long
You give me tax cuts for the rich, what little healthcare you have left, your reproductive rights, free elections, and the ability to commit felonies.
I give you, a pack of sausages and a tin of burnt coffee grounds.
Ah yes instant incest coffee
Folgers cofveve
Apparently the best part of waking up is donating to the GOP.
maybe that's who the incest commercial was targeting all along, the GOP.
For those who have had the pleasure of never seeing the referenced commercial: https://youtu.be/uMwFWDIFVCU?si=NhgQ2NVTGxV1XeI2
Also the follow up parody that isn't all that far of a stretch: https://youtu.be/CKgKPGBa9EQ?si=Brw1QPCopPMB5KOl
Folger's missed a great opportunity when coffee enemas became a fad. Slogan could have been "The best part of waking up, is Folger's up your butt."
Chock full o'Butts
Starbutts and Donkin' could get in on it.
Exhausted Don
Doesn't he look tired?
Done for Don
Imagine, product placement in politics!
Dude Goya did this
I kinda like it when he does this. It lets me know which products to not buy. I skip over Goya when I'm looking for beans.
Exactly, it's just like thin blue line bumper stickers. It lets you know who to never let merge.
There are dozens more on a table to the left side out off camera. Is it confirmed these brands had any prior knowledge of are actually publicly backing trump?
I am fully aware the personal pocket books of the heads of these companies are deep for the GOP.
Yeah, I have no idea if this means something, or if Politics Gallagher there just brought out some props for “muh inflation” before smashing them with a sledgehammer.
I would love to see Trump try to swing a sledgehammer.
It was the words in his latest "intelligence" test. Coffee, honey bunches of oats, sausage (jimmy dean & Johnsonville). He got 5/5 and is a certified apple genius now
He’s just trying to get PAC funding from General Mills or whoever the fuck makes that shit
It's all Monsanto if you go far enough.
Maxwell House and Folgers are owned by different companies. This isn't the same as the Goya thing from a while back.
He's diversifying!
It's not product placement. Trump's campaign staff is making a vain attempt to get Trump to talk about the issues rather than all the ineffective personal attacks and name calling.
They've been writing speeches to get Trump to talk about inflation. This time they added some props to force him to talk about how these items cost more now. Of course Trump only spent a few minutes saying something vague about inflation and then regressed back to his typical ramblings about how if Kamala gets elected the world will end or whatever.
Ideally this kind of message would work better if Trump was in a grocery store, but he doesn't venture from his two homes very often these days, so they set up a table in front of his Golf course so he could talk about it there. So it looks like product placement, but it's just a vain attempt to get Trump to deliver some kind of economic message.
Haha the only thing they had to change between 2016 and now is replacing Pence with Vance and adding an exclamation point to the slogan.
...Holy shit... Is that why they picked Vance for VP? So they could save money on signs and shirts?
I think they just like to avoid multisyllabic words with their base.
multi syllable names are for minorities, can't get the base confused on who to hate vs idolize!
I've got some bad news for you about the name "Donald"
How long till he wears a Spirit Halloween branded tie?
brought to you by carl's junior
Makes me glad I don't buy Folgers
God damn it Johnsonville are the only halfway decent bratwurst my nowhere grocery carries. Guess it'll be the rare time I find them at a farmers market.
GOD DAMN IT
I feel your pain!
That's how he gets his funding now.
Well I'm not buying any of those products ever again. They're un-American.
He’s showing you which products to never buy again
Hey, cool, I use some of those! Not the coffee: wtf is with instant coffee? Do most people really still use that when a basic drip machine is so cheap and ubiquitous.
And the Jimmy Dean “Hot” is usually better tasting, unless you have someone who needs the mild
That's not instant, those are tubs of pre-ground coffee.
I'd take instant over those brands made in a drip machine though.
What brands would you buy? I’m looking to branch out
I don't have a specific brand recommendation, but if you want to absolutely max out your coffee experience, try to find a local roaster or coffee shop that stocks freshly roasted whole beans. Most places like that will offer to grind beans for you too, if you don't have your own grinder at home.
The main problem with those giant pre-ground tubs is that they're almost certainly stale. The longer coffee sits, the more it loses flavor, or develops off-flavors, and pre-round coffee stales even quicker than whole beans. So if you can't find anything locally roasted near you, look for whole beans with a roast date somewhere on the package, ideally within the last two weeks or so.
Edit: typo
Drip coffee takes too long and most people are too lazy/dumb to figure out how to schedule the coffee machine (if their machine even has that feature at all).
To maximize my sleep, I give myself a 15 minute window to get up and get to work. I don't drink coffee, but if I did, I'd go with instant. Just heat up the water and stir in the coffee mix. Takes less than 2 minutes.
I have to admit to k-cups. Horribly wasteful with the packaging but oh so convenient and much better than instant
I save my good coffee for the weekends when I can slow down and enjoy the process rather than impatiently wait
That’s why I used to do, but I was given a reusable K-Cup filter thing that just holds ground beans and is washable/reusable. All of the benefits of quick coffee and none of the waste!
Add another 30 seconds and you could have had Aeropress.
It's the best part of waking up.
I can never separate Folgers from the commercial parody...
Edit: For the uninitiated
That is distinctly less whimsical
Did you smell like a corpse before the shower? That might explain the deadmans visage you see
"And this is bacon, which you might find in a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich"
Perfect!!!!
Golf Clap
UK voters now have PTSD flashbacks
Old man looks miserable. Couldnt happen to a nicer guy.
And again, let's talk about social security, with Folgers, social security can't fail. Social security will wake up every day to the gree aroma of Folgers coffee and Folgers coffee will bring up it's game! With Folgers coffee and honey nut Cheerios, well also fix all of our homeless. Honey nut Cheerios and Folgers for breakfast give the homeless the energy they need to get thru their day.
Needs more slurring and made up words. I give it a B-.
Oh I wasn't trying to impersonate the president this time. That's illegal. Right? I mean I had this big big guy come up to me this morning, crying the big guy. He says, to me: daddy can you pass me the honey nut Cheerios please and Folgers. I'll never forget right? Because he was saying it. And when I heard it. When I heard it, it was big to me. Big news like Hilary's emails.
It's the best part of waking up.
covfefe in your cup
And you thought ads weren’t effective
Advertising is what makes America great again.
It's a Trump. They spend an insane amount of money on marketing, but a bad product is a bad product.
Folgers is great
You just like sugar packets and or cream. No sane person actually likes the taste of that shit.
Edit: apparently a solid amount of Lemmy users fuck with Folgers.
I'm not going to pretend Folger's is some fine luxury brand. I'm not going to pretend it's even good coffee. It's fine. Not great but fine.
Is it shit? No, get your ratios right and it's fine. It's cheaper and better than a Starbucks cup. If you're going for black coffee, you can do worse.
I’ve had forgers once and it was the most dirt tasting bullshit.
I’m with you.
I actually just like the smell of it brewing. Heavenly.
Tastes like shit, though.
I'd prefer to remain 'insane' in the eyes of terminally online degenerates that never leave the house.
So only terminally online degenerates have working tongues? Lol wtf
lol, because that's definitely the shut-in stereotype.
"Honey I'm really worried about our son, not only has he not left the house for weeks, this morning I found a bag of coffee beans in his room that was produced by a worker owned coop in Honduras!"
Why is this guy being downvoted? Is there an implication of Folgers endorsing Trump? Is it implied that his liking Folgers is because of their Trump endorsement?
I'm genuinely asking, I'm hella out of the loop
I think they’re just upset because they have different opinions on coffee
See more at goodsuniteus@lemmy.ca
I guess I shouldn't be surprised but shit, man.
Because Folgers is horrendously disgusting, for one. Also I think it's being endorsed by trump here..
do you know where the door is or do you need an escort?
For what?
Leaving in shame, I imagine
Nah, I ain't going nowhere
Maybe to the gas station for some burnt coffee lol
Edit: people are seriously mad about this? I thought it was a pretty good burn
If
Folgers is great
Doesn't get you roasted I don't know what would
Pathetic.
You wouldn't understand the simple pleasures in life. Like coffee with a pleasant flavor... Or jokes.
