“People have tried to come up with a gold paint that would look like gold, and they’ve never been able to do it,” Trump told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham in March. “You’ve never been able to match gold with gold paint.”
But internet trolls thought Trump’s decorating team had tried to do just that, and flagged apparent Home Depot listings showing moldings that looked remarkably like the gilt that recently appeared in the White House.
The home improvement store products cost between $30 and $50, according to the Independent — a far cry from the price of 24-karat gold.
Thinking about the original ads this is parodying… it's wild to think that they had to explain the idea of chocolate and peanut butter together. I think we take that for granted these days. heh.
It's just marketing. Marketing is frequently stupid but memorable. It's not enough to ignore it - you need to be as contractions as possible. That's why I only mix marshmallow and fishsticks. It's the optimum fuck you to not only advertisers but human decency, the Geneva protocols, and any gods that probably don't exist anyway.
If you've ever watched the british baking show you'd know brits fucking hate peanut butter.
Historically, a lot of americans are just brits which leads me to believe peanut butter is an aquired, cultural taste so a lot of the marketing was probably necessary.
I get what you're saying but I think its still more cultural than anything. Whenever I run into a brit I ask them if they like coffee and peanut butter and I've gotten more "no" than "yes" on both questions.
I expect for most people who didn't grow up with peanut butter as a kid they will just not like it, sugared up or not.
Well, combining the two would mean only Caucasian kids get abused. Could be a self-perpetuating condition, and explain a few things. If nothing else, theoretically non-Caucasian kids might just come out ahead on this one for once.

Nope. Fuck that. Peanuts? Yes. Butter? Yes. Sauce (e.g., stir fry)? Yes. With chocolate? Yes. Protein shake? Yes. Sandwich? Yes. Curry? Yes. A pastry? Yes. Savory? Yes.
The entire world agrees that peanuts need to be gargled.

Yeah, right.

I'm pretty sure racists would rape minority children. Look at plantations back in the day for evidence of that.

My friend. I think we all know that abuse is more about the power over another than any sort of twisted lust.
ICE agents regularly engage in sexual assault of abductees.

We all assume this is true of the masked fascists but has there been anything reported on it?

Yeah but Obama likely didn't diddle kids. Bombing can be forgiven. Diddling is 4eva.
