Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

My partner just brought me three pop-open dough cans. They absolutely cannot stand the surprise from opening them. Basically the same hatred for the Jack-in-the-box toys. It's such a strange thing to me that I'll never understand.

I just wack it profusely on the edge of my counter (at arms distance, of course). πŸ‘€

That was how the instructions said to open them a long time ago.

I bet there were multiple injuries and deaths from the violence of the doughsplosions. The lawsuit settlements must have been pretty expensive for Pillsbury to change the instructions to what they are now. Probably with gag orders and hush money, which is why you can't find a record of them. /s

Good luck OP!
