Taco Bell apparently is selling "caffeine-infused" eye patches...

"Mountain Dew® Baja Blast® Under Eye Patches"

"...infused with caffeine and a refreshing boost of citrus, these patches energize skin and deliver cooling hydration...."

(also, apparently if you pay celebrities enough money, they will show up at whatever the heck this corporate launch even was, lol)

It’s an innovative way to bring bold, immersive experiences that let fans explore their favorite flavors in entirely new ways, like Mountain Dew Baja Blast spa nights, or something

Do an obscure reality show regular, a brand ambassador for botox, and plastic thong-costumed pretend wrestlers count as celebrities? 🤔

I hate to break this to you, but there's a reality show host and one-time pro wrestler who has a pretty important job over there...

Show threadNazo3d ago

@alessandro @me_valentijn @ai6yr I know. That's why I brought it up...

Really we have lots of celebrities. For example, a former doctor who traded in his PhD for a career selling scams on TV...

We're living in a "what if Idiocracy, but even dumber and even more dystopian" timeline.

@ai6yr @alessandro @me_valentijn I never figured out how to feel about that. He seems to be... less horrible than most of the others, but still, I can't figure him out exactly.

@nazokiyoubinbou @ai6yr @alessandro
He was raised by an abusive ex-Nazi in a socialist country and then lived with massive amounts of privilege and power in a capitalist one. He's a considerably flawed person with a background which kept him from morphing into a completely evil bastard, and kept him capable of empathizing, reflecting, and occasionally evolving.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is complicated 😐

""Mountain Dew® Baja Blast® Under Eye Patches""

I actually looked (only doing it once) and I could find no photos of what these actually look like

So that tells me a lot, as far as I'm concerned...

Would be a heck of a way to discover you’re sensitive to citrus 😳

Show threaddb Slava Ukraini2d ago
@ai6yr For info, caffeine is used in many products (esp anti-cellulite/anti-swelling) and I have lots of vitamin C and citrus things that do mild exfoliation, so it’s not as outlandish as it may seem.
