i’ll be honest, this one is late and i really wanna go to bed 😂 let’s just pretend i posted this on the right day 😘
#tdil mcdonalds once made bubblegum flavoured broccoli 🥦
how darn willy wonka is this fact though?! 😂 like, who’d have thought broccoli that tasted of bubblegum was a thing 🙈
why was it a thing? well, it was actually an uncharacteristic attempt at making the world’s kiddies eat better! 👶🏻 … on the face of it, not a horrendous idea to be honest.
that said, just how healthy can veg designed to taste like bubblegum actually be? i mean, i can’t help but imagine it was probably worse than actually bad food! 🙈
sadly, the charlie and the chocolate factory type plan failed when the bubblegum goodness was tested with real kids … they were not keen 😂 … many of them said it confused them 🤷🏻♂️
after a host of far from glowing focus group reviews, mcdonalds decided to scrap their fantastically ridiculous idea 😢 instead focusing on actual good ideas like offering sides of fruit and reducing the number of fries in happy meals 🍟
but yeah, there’s the tale of the mental bubblegum broccoli that almost was! i really wish i could have tasted it in all its artificial glory 🙌🏻
bye peeps 😘 #tdil
