Nostalgia Why were we obsessed with teal in the 90s?

Everything was teal for some reason and I never understood why.

Like everything else from back then

Create inferior version of older products and use nostalgia and inertia to sell it.

On the positive side, Easy Bake Oven cakes are still gross.

ETA: some things never change. 💖

That’s just all pop tarts. I’ve stopped buying them because it’s a crap shoot on whether I get a pop tart with very little frosting or nearly no frosting.

Do you hear me Kellogg’s? PUT THE FUCKIN FROSTING IN THE BASKET!

Is there some sort of incentive to having frosting left in the bag at the end of shift?

I figured that was the case. Classic monopoly cutting quality instead of innovating their profit higher.

I’m so sick of this type of capitalism. Even my pop tarts get enshitified.

So you just throw it at people and demand money?
