When he pulled out one box of Tic Tacs, I thought he might be about to make the actual cogent point that food manufacturers are absolutely providing less food in the same sized box in the hopes that we don’t notice or something, but instead he pulled out a regular and travel sized box of Tic Tacs. - ThreadSky

lol wait it wasn't even actually about shrinkflation?

megateer.bsky.social•208 days ago

Me: “Yes, there are different sizes of the same product. They are generally different prices, too. Also, Tic Tac wants you to stop mentioning them at all. Ever.”

courtneymilan.com•208 days ago

I think this man has never seen a mini-box of Tic Tacs before and I would say it broke his brain, but that’s done and dusted.

Facts just makes weird patterns across the shattered pieces of his brain.

Also, he is an old and probably can't read the small print. (As a person who does the "move the object back and forth to see if it comes into focus" thing while squinting madly.)

Don’t tell me the moon is shining. Show me the glint of light on the shattered* pieces of this asshole’s brain.

This man has never purchased a food product in his entire life. I probably never has seen one before. Some intern got told to go out and buy a big one and a small one and just grabbed something and called it a day.

courtneymilan.com•208 days ago

I doubt it was even that. That implies that someone had to buy them for this assignment.

convolver.bsky.social•208 days ago

I’ve never seen those mini packs before, but it appears you have to buy them twenty at a time? This is like a particularly bad SNL skit played completely straight.

courtneymilan.com•208 days ago

I think someone offered one to him, knowing he liked them b/c of Access Hollywood tapes, and he was like “damn, inflation really fucked us on the size of TicTacs, things are going down hill.”

convolver.bsky.social•208 days ago

That makes the most sense! Well, for certain values of “sense,” of course.

Meanwhile his campaign manager is on his tenth cigarette of that rally just screaming “JUST READ THE F*****G TELEPROMPTER!” at the monitor in the campaign bus.

Boy am I glad I don’t work down the street from that venue anymore.

robertjduperre.bsky.social•208 days ago

Courtney, I'm confused - why did you think him capable of making a cogent point?

courtneymilan.com•208 days ago

I don’t know! I guess the narrative fallacy or something?

amyhoy.bsky.social•208 days ago

he’s not wrong about dishwashers

so there’s always a possibility

also when he insulted elon musk he was absolutely correct

amyhoy.bsky.social•208 days ago

stopped clock etc etc

amyhoy.bsky.social•208 days ago

(and yes i know the reason dishwashers suck now is to protect the environment but it’s still a daily aggravation)

jmlowenstein.bsky.social•208 days ago

Weren’t TicTacs part of the Access Hollywood stuff?

jmlowenstein.bsky.social•208 days ago

booktweeting.bsky.social•208 days ago

YES! they should have gotten a restraining order or something

amyhoy.bsky.social•208 days ago

this is a weird way to learn there are even tinier tic tac packages!

rafinley.bsky.social•208 days ago

Fun size!

cooperforecast.com•208 days ago

When he was fumbling around trying to find them he sounded really old. Dude is losing his marbles

danielsand.bsky.social•208 days ago

The weirdest part is he pretends he has never had them before.

patricjreynolds.bsky.social•208 days ago

Even if we set aside the fact that he’s a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist who tried to overturn the government because he couldn’t accept losing, a man so gloriously stupid that he doesn’t understand the concept/existence of travel size tic tacs shouldn’t be President.
