Foods we hope will be discontinued

I hope the entire company known as Sysco blinks out of existence in some feat of reality-warping caused by my deep hatred of them.

They supply the food for the local prison.... and my workplace!
It is very often cheaper to buy name brand goods at Walmart, but my company has some sort of exclusivity contract with Sysco, so instead of buying name brand quality products for cheaper, we are forced to buy shit.

Their chicken always leaks some sort of solution everywhere. Their pork is impossibly dry. Their gallon jars of sauces often come with compromised seals, and cans come beat to shit. And the produce? Don't get me started. There must be something super wrong in their distribution process for so many people to handle totally rotten and moldy fruit and go "meh into the truck it goes."

I'd tell them to go drive off a bridge, but, well....

(The driver was apparently some badass veteran, and she was rescued unharmed. The truck went over because the load inside was not secured correctly and all slid at once, or something like that.)
 
Skimmed milk. It just angers me when i see it.
Like, what's the fucking point? Just buy normal milk and dilute it with water if you're a bitch. I fucking hate the concept of skimmed milk in general.

Whole milk can be hard on the stomach. Back when I used to drink dairy often I could only handle 2%. Then it became 1% because 2% was too heavy for my stomach. I'm talking glasses of straight milk here. Not milk in recipes, coffee or other beverages. As long as it's part of something and not the whole enchilada I'm usually ok.
But I never bothered much with skim. It does have more calcium though.
 
Those Beyond "meat" products need to go. I only ate the sausages once and they tasted like poison but that is not my problem, my main beef with them is that 99% of the stock gets thrown out because no one buys them, it is just a colossal waste. It is the only product that consistently gets marked further down than literally any other product in the stores i visit, usually the max is 30% off but Beyond products go as high as 80% off (manually added to the %off label in ballpoint pen i might add) and still nobody buys them. Except maybe out of curiosity, like i did.
 
These shitty things:

These sewer water bootleg Gatorades take up space in the vending machines where I used to get my heart palpitating energy drinks. Fucking abysmal is what they are, and every other pseudo energy drink like it.
While at it energy drinks need to be banned, they have already killed people via heart attacks and I was close to having one. I had bought 4 cans and got two and a half cans in then my heart went beating crazy fast. I threw up and my hands and feet went cold. That was years ago and I will never touch one of these drinks again!
 
I'm not sure if discontinuing that is even possible. Hell, a lot of the foods mentioned here have that problem. For example, how the hell do you discontinue seafood?
A ban, of course!

What’s really funny about this post is it caught the attention of the other farms if you catch my drift. Yes boiled burgers bad and I’m adding it to this list!
Did it? Lol.

I don't know if I've ever had boiled burger but it doesn't sound particularly bad. Maybe kinda dry because the fat would be rinsed away.
 
Fray Bentos pies. It's a pie in a tin that you open and bake. They used to be great; big chunky bits of meat, rich sauce, lovely puff-pastry crust, good price. Great emergency food, which is why I have a small pile of them in stock. Except, thanks to cost cutting by the company that owns them now, they're really not great any more. The sauce is watery and insipid, the meat is mostly gristle - where I can find it. There's very little flavour to any of it. The only thing that is still half-way decent is the pastry, but that's loaded with margarine and palm oil. I know they'll never return to their former quality, so I'd really rather see the brand put out of my misery.

Don't fucking touch white monster, my beloved.
On a serious note, idk where you're from but maybe look at the caffeine contents next time & consider your average intake.
Weak stomach. My stomach can handle pure whole milk by the glassful
I'm fucking jealous. Call me conspiracy brained or something but I'm 99% sure covid gave me fucking lactose intolerance/weak intestines as a lingering after effect. Before I got it I used to drink whole milk every breakfast & have greek yoghurt every other day too, can't do that anymore or I'll shit my guts out for the next few hours.
I miss whole milk so fucking much.

I wouldn't doubt it. I did hear it affects your taste buds permanently so it could probably do that shit too.

If you're dumb enough to slam multiple energy drinks you deserve the heart attack.
 
I miss when chicken breasts were a third of the size they are now. No, I'm not buying your mutant bullshit, I'd rather have a normal turkey or guinea hens if I'm eating poultry that size.

I recall supernatural chicken breasts being a narrative in Michael Pollan's book The Omnivore's Dilemma (2006) that I read back in the aughts.

I read his book after hearing an excerpt on NPR-style public radio. The main premise of the book for the most part IIRC was that "Big Organic" was really a mass production industrialized fraud that had more in common with feedlots than the quaint hobby farms they use in their branding.

It was a good read at the time, though I'm sure I'd hate the political bent now,

In the book, Pollan talked about chickens called "broilers" who have been bred industrially to have such large breasts that it alters the laws of physics and they can't ambulate properly.
