Default [Destructoid] Gamer Grub? What? Seriously?
http://www.destructoid.com/gamer-gru...--106369.phtml



Quote:
With TGS looming and a bunch of extra-curricular assignments keeping me busy, I've not been around much this weekend, so I'm a little behind. However, I really don't know quite how I missed Gamer Grub, a snack that claims to be engineered by a "sometimes gamer" for people like us. Well, not people like us per se. Gullible people like us. That's better.

Quote:
Gamer Grub is a great tasting snack that boosts your core gaming systems—such as visual input, cognitive processing, signal transmission and muscle reflexes. Scientifically formulated with essential nutrients and vitamins, Gamer Grub provides a healthy, great tasting snack mix that supports fast reaction times for maximum gaming performance. Eat well and prosper.
If you're a regular reader of Penny Arcade, then you will likely have already seen their reaction to this rather cringeworthy bit of demographic headhunting, but I feel we need to immortalize this so-called "grub" in our own archives. In trying to make the snacks somehow relevant to gamers, the flavors are awkward mash-ups of videogame genres and contemporary foodstuffs. Because the term "Strategy Chocolate" somehow makes sense when you're throwing random words around in a board room.

Maybe I expect too much of my snacks, but I want something more robust than "Action Pizza" and "Sports PB&J." One could argue that it's pedantic to demand some kind of grounded reasoning in the naming of food -- I would argue that calling your snack "Racing Wasabi" should have you put on some sort of offender's register.

If I'm going to be patronized, I want to be patronized sensibly. And yes, that blurb I posted did say "Eat well and prosper."
Smells like a Placebo!

Haha I've picked up such bad eating habits I don't even eat every day. But damn an energy drink sounds pretty tasty right now.

I just can't get enough of bawls. One time I didn't sleep, had bawls in the morning, bawls in the afternoon, and bawls at night. Best day of my life. My girlfriend was a bit concerned though over my addiction for bawls the following few weeks, but who cares, bawls is great!

Edit: wait..
