I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that 30+ brands of nutrition drinks including but not limited to Ensure, Pediasure, Glucerna, Oatly, and Premier Protein just got recalled for possible contamination with the bacteria that causes botulism, a paralytic toxin with a lethal dose of 1.3 nanograms. If you've purchased one of the affected lot numbers please return it to the store to be properly disposed of as a biohazard but do not accept any compensatory gift cards because that can be counted as a settlement if you need to file a lawsuit over for any potential damages caused by this later on. If you have any questions regarding the recall there's a phone number listed in the article above that you can call, but if you believe you may have ingested toxins then please call your local poison control line. Stay safe

If y'all wouldn't mind boosting this that would be great. Many disabled people including myself and several of my friends drink these brands to help with diabetes/nutritional definiciencies/etc, and a lot of these brands are also popular choices for senior citizens, young children, and athletes. If someone happens to get a bottle that's contaminated with botulism (especially if they're disabled, elderly, or a child) a single sip could potentially kill them

To clarify, when I say "don't accept compensatory gift cards" I don't mean you can't get a refund. You can still get the item refunded but if they say "oh we're so sorry that this happened, let us give you a $20 gift card as well to make it up to you" turn that gift card down. If later on it turns out that you were affected and you try to sue the company for medical bills and damages the company can claim that you already reached a settlement of $20 with them and you're no longer able to sue. This is done in some companies both for recalls of dangerous substances and for on-property injuries that the company could be held liable for. Don't fall for it

Wait.  Wait.

Wait.

I know that telephone pole.

I know that telephone pole intimately because I’m the one who broke it.

Thats the pole next to Sycamore Jr. High, in between the jr high school and Pipkins, where I had my second car accident.  A woman t-boned my car and drove me into that pole in 2008 and it took them years to actually take it down.

That black metal pole you see just beyond the broken phone pole is a “Now Leaving/Welcome To Blue Ash, Ohio” sign, visible at 5520 Cooper Road on google maps.

(the flag is there, btw, because its the starting point for the Blue Ash/Montgomery July 4th parade.)

The internet is so staggeringly immense that I can’t help but be disproportionately delighted when things like this happen.

nothing will ever be funnier to me than the 30-50 feral hogs joke phase, I think about it at least once a week

Happy 30-50 feral hogs day

The funniest thing is that when he was in the comments defending himself he admitted this had happened four times, he did not own an assault weapon, and no one got hurt.
