to complain about upside down dairylea add

[54321nought]

I've seen this appalling ad a few times

Two young children dangling upside down by their knees, eating cheese in the hope that if they eat it upside down it will feed their brains

It took me a while to catch what it was actually advertising, but now I know, I am making a formal complaint

I cant believe how utterly stupid and irresponsible this is an as example to junior school aged children

True. She said “I am a biologist, I have worked in A and E and seen deaths from this sort of thing”.

Seriously though she’s an impressive person. She’s a teacher about to retire, she’s in her sixties and gets confused for someone in their twenties, she runs marathons, she both houses refugees in her home and she fosters children, is writing a ks3 module on bullying , she volunteers in mental health, m she’s now wanting to be an activist and canvassing opinion over on another thread on woman’s ownership of tools,.

Sadly though on the dairylea she’s got it wrong, but wow.

You forgot OP also recently alerted parents on a train to the fact their child was choking. It's not known if the child was upright or not or if they were eating processed cheese.

@00100001

Or...you know...the adult in charge of any children could watch the advert and you know.... Teach their kids that it's quite dangerous etc. And that they shouldn't do it.

You know...the adults that are here to guide and care for kids...

This!

she also thinks white bread is poison as it turns into sugar :/

@HotPinkTeaSet your courage knows no bounds. If it goes wrong, be assured that I will contact the daily mail with a sad face and a cheese triangle, while hanging upside down of course.

Good God OP. Don’t ever watch an ad for Red Bull. You’d be horrified.

@BoredZelda

Sure. I’ll bet you couldn’t move for deaths from people hanging upside down eating cheese triangles.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Genuinely made me cry laughing 😁

It’s cream cheese!?

Red bull also gives you wings FYI, try it

@54321nought

You Can Eat Upside Down.

Food doesn't need gravity to reach your stomach. When you eat something, the muscles in your esophagus constrict and relax in a wavelike manner, which is called peristalsis and pushes food along the esophagus and into the stomach. It's difficult to eat upside down, but it's possible.

You’re a ‘biologist’? 🤔

"Sure. I’ll bet you couldn’t move for deaths from people hanging upside down eating cheese triangles." 😂😂😂

White bread does turn to sugar, it gets broken down by Amylase in the saliva.
I remember this from when I too was a biologist!

Oh, mate

White bread does turn to sugar, it gets broken down by Amylase in the saliva.

So does brown bread, brown rice, and any source of starch, no matter how beloved of health-food fans.

And if you'd ever been a "biologist" (whatever the hell that means) you would have referred to amylase in pancreatic secretions as well as saliva.

This is 2021 thread to add to the ' I'm a regular poster but namechanged - penis beaker, elderly Korean lady, sisteen chapel, cancel the cheque, upside down dairy-Lee'

I'm an actual fucking biologist and I'd have to Google where amylase is produced.

But, yes, starch is broken down into glucose, which is not quite the same as "sugar", or sucrose - a dimer made of glucose and fructose.

I'm an actual fucking biologist

Ah, but have you worked in A&E?

@TheKeatingFive

I'm an actual fucking biologist

Ah, but have you worked in A&E?

And if you are and have, do you have any suggestions as to how to stop the bodies of chokers on dairylea triangles eaten upside down making the place look untidy?

Come back this morning for the drama...

What have I missed in this diamond of a thread?
OP, I understand you have 2 jobs and are training for a marathon, yet you have time to have a debate on MN about children eating Dairylea while hanging upside down.
Have you filed your complaint yet or are you still thinking you might be unreasonable in this instance? Hence you posting your query in the "AIBU" boards...

Oh lord
This is what passes for satire these days?
Kill me now

But, yes, starch is broken down into glucose, which is not quite the same as "sugar", or sucrose - a dimer made of glucose and fructose.

Not quite. The simplest view of the action of amylase is that it breaks down starch into maltose (disaccharide formed of two glucose molecules). It's not that simple in real life because starch incorporates a variety of different structures and the action of amylase on these leads to production of maltotrioses and limit dextrins (other polymers of glucose) as well as maltose.

It's di/oligosaccharidases secreted by the intestinal epithelial cells ("brush border") that break down these smaller molecules into glucose.

Anyway, the fact remains that it makes no difference whether your bread is brown or white: digestive enzymes still produce sugars from the starch. The benefit of brown bread comes from the presence of fibre and B vitamins.

This is all very well, but can you eat the aforementioned bread, rice and whatever else while upside down? We should be told.

@54321nought this is too funny..

On 08/08/21 you say you are a marathon runner and then on 20/08/21 you say you’ve never been a serious runner 😂 If you’re going to tell fibs, you really should consider a name change before you do.

Ah, but have you worked in A&E?

I have been in A&E during working hours. Does that count?

You're right. (IIRC) Vague memories of biochemistry classes from 30 years ago are coming back to me.
