...

It's because we're old. I was hit hard with the realization the other day, that I'm not the target audience of this product anymore. Does anyone else have trouble remembering that they're not a kid? I'm like 30 years old, and I do not identify as an adult
- I'm in my 20s and I don't really feel like an adult (I don't know how to deal with stuff, how to take care of things), but I also don't feel like a kid, because things targeted at kids don't appeal to me and I barely keep up with what they're up to now (is skibidi toilet still funny?)
  
  I’m 48, I’m not an adult but what the fuck is this shit we’re talking about?
  
  I started feeling like an adult when I thought of going to a show and realized I would be an old dude and it would be weird. So yeah, adult just kinda happens to you.
- Honestly I'm starting to forget what feeling like a kid was like. I'm 30 and yeah I don't have all the answers and shit, but my teenage years were defined by an internal conflict I resolved in college, my relationship with my parents (one died when I was in college the other disowned me when I was in college), and high school.
  My college years were defined by the wild shit my previous sentence said I went through at that time, as well as my studies, financial and housing struggles, and a relationship that ended less than a year after I graduated, and I moved away from my hometown after college.
  I'm 30, I'm married, I've continued growing as a person my whole life and have no intent to stop now, my financial struggles are those of an adult of my generation with a decent career. I don't really have any of the same problems I had as a kid except like my health and disability issues. Sometimes I have traumatic flashbacks to my teenage years but I haven't had one in years. My interests have even matured. Sure I still don't have all the answers, but anyone who says they do is lying to you and possibly themselves, and they may be trying to take advantage of you. I'm not a kid pretending to be an adult, I'm a person, and it turns out kids are too.
- I started feeling like an adult when I was 28.
- It was so freeing when I escaped that at 35.
- I literally am a kid (for a few months anyway) and I don't feel like I'm the target audience either.
- I'm a "kid" and often have much more boomer opinions than actual "boomers"

What are those even?
- A bunch of food and drink brands spun up by influencer personalities as merchandising.
  
  Ah, so not amazon prime?
- I think they’re some of them pokey-mans or beyblades that the kids all go crazy for nowadays.

- Moldy

Not going to lie I've bought Prime recently... But only because the energy drinks are 4 for £1 at a local shop.
Sure it tastes like the sugar monster came in my mouth, but what a bargain!
- Would have been cheaper drinking tap water, and not tasting the sugar monster spunk in your mouth.
  
  Does tap water have caffeine now?
  
  What if that's what you're into
  
  How do you think I'm saving money? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
- Same. First time trying because they were insanely cheap. They're also disgusting. Way too much fake sugar.
  
  I got some for free because my brother found a store that actually imports them (they aren't available in regular supermarkets) and bought some.
  Tastes like a generic sugar-free drink, I'd just go with a regular energy drink since it tastes better

I’m trying to understand what the last two streaming services are.
I guess that’s even worse.
- Not knowing is a sign of a healthy mind. You will sleep even better than Mr. Simpson in the meme.

I had a feastables given to me and I can honestly say it was not the best chocolate bar I've ever had. It was pretty average.
- Yup. My kids wanted to try it, so I had one too. Seemed like dollar store candy.
  
  I worked at one those "we'll make you custom chocolates and candies with your branding on them" candy factories in college and it was about on the same level. Not bad but not worthy of "the best in the world".
  On a side note, the micromints were the best product but worst to make. Absolutely covered in powdered sugar walking home in humid summer weather suuuucked. They really should have given me a smock to wear instead of me being in my street clothes.

It's better to eat real food.

What those names make me remember:

- Almost pizza , haha

I tried Prime a few times. Saw it at the gas station and figured I'd give it a try since I was going to grab a Bodyarmor. Very strong flavor. For me, really seemed to straddle the line between good and meh. Tried the energy drink once, terrible.
Then I learned that dip shit was behind it. Haven't bought it since.
- Ahh. Not the Amazon version.
  
  Prime drink with next day Prime shipping on Prime day. What did I just type.

Prime is throughally mid, interchangeable, forgettable drink that is carried by its influencers.
- I thought they meant amazon prime. I might be slightly out of touch. (Idk what lunchly is either)
  
  Is that like rebranded lunchables
- I only knew about Prime drink because they claimed to not be selling in Canada in defence to having over the legal limit of caffeine
  They said all the retailers were smuggling them in from the US because of how popular it is
  
  Probably getting the out of date unsold stock from Dollar Tree.
  
  Possibly at first but now there's a Canadian formulation, I see it at Giant Tiger and Circle K and there's the official Health Canada warning label on them.
- Sounds like Booty Sweat energy drinks and Busta Nut bars, which apparently were actual things in relation to promoting Tropic Thunder.
- It tastes exactly like liquid jello. One of the worst things I've ever tasted. Definitely not forgettable.

This is an advertisement.

I tried a Prime once and it was fucking nasty. I had literally 2 sips and threw the rest away

This is the “I don’t have an elementary school aged child post”

I haven't even heard of Feastables or Lunchly until this meme.

The ghouls behind these things are definitely putting lead in kids to make the next generation good consumers.

i have tried feastables and honestly i liked the flavor but the funniest part about the chocolate bar is the fact that it's a huge chocolate bar and at the very top it's cut into another small part that says "share this part!", hahah that was funny, but yea. i think feastable is nice

This is how I sleep knowing the only social media account I have is Facebook and I hardly use it.
- written on social media platform Lemmy ok bud
  
  Some people define social media as platforms where you use your real identity as your name like Facebook and MySpace.
  
  Yeah I knew there'd be one of you I don't consider lemmy or reddit social media.
  I considered them to be more or less news aggregators than anything else.
  Just because there's the ability to leave comments doesn't necessarily make it social media.

i still sleep like shit unfortunately...
I blame carrying the weight of a failing humanity on my shoulders. Darned sociology ruining my life!
