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

[quote LittleRatBag]@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.[/quote]
I am wondering if OP is not familiar with advanced search?!

SnowyPetals, not sure about AS, but I definitely feel like the OP isn't familiar with reality

@HotPinkTeaSet

I haven’t had a diarylea triangle for years. Tempted to buy some on my way home now.

Don't eat them upside down !

@Mybalconyiscracking

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!

Doesn't make it poison though...

@NoNotHimTheOtherOne

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.

Ah, but white bread has added vitamins....

@Lweji

Ah, but have you worked in A&E?

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

Not unless you saved an upside down cheese chomping choking child while you were there.

@Chikapu cheese dairylea

Ah, but white bread has added vitamins....

I did type something about that but deleted it because I was already doing too much mansplaining.

Yes, white flour has to have vitamin B1 (thiamin) and B3 (niacin) added, as well as calcium and iron. There has been a campaign going on for decades to have vitamin B9 (folic acid) added, too, but it still doesn't seem to have got beyond the public consultation stage. Nothing about zinc or selenium, either.

It's been enlightening doing an AS on OP this morning. She's late 50s but looks so young she is fed up of being mistaken for 20 years olds. She's obviously some kind of prodigy as she states she was a research scientist for 15 years and a teacher for 30 years. Several careers spanning 45 years, both here and in Asia. Add in her emergency foster caring, work in A&E and homeless shelters, plus multiple marathons and ultra runs, volunteering, writing KS3 bullying schemes, supporting XR, always happening to experience whatever an OP is posting about just 'last week', it's a wonder she has any time at all to spout so much shit all over Mumsnet. Remarkable in fact, almost unbelievably so.

I was being sarcastic people! (and glucose is a sugar)

@Mybalconyiscracking

Of course you were. No self respecting biologist would say they were a biologist once. Once you become one, you're one for life.

Maybe there should be a clause that the first rule of being a biologist is...you don't talk about being a biologist?

Certainly not to claim any sort of expertise on choking.

😂😂

I'm an actual fucking biologist

Bet you never thought you'd need to say that here 😂

I love this thread

🤣🤣 Let's not forget the witnessing multiple cheese chokings whilst working in A&E. As a biologist. Or a teacher. Or an ultra marathoner. Or a fantasist.

I'm amazed this thread is still here 🤷‍♀️

So late 50s is obviously 59 at the latest. 45 year career... So OP started working as a biologist at 14 years old? Sure. Why the fuck do people make this shit up, are they really that desperate for a bit of attention?

I have a degree in Politics and have spent a bit of time in A&E (clumsy children +PFB)
I am actually Health Secretary

This is being copied straight into the KS3 unit on bullying that I am writing. ( anonymised - although it will be referenced as coming from Mumsnet)

You have saved me a job of trawling through social media to find an example next week

Keep a check on your children's PSHE homework if they are in KS3, you might find yourself starring in it!

Sure jan

It won't be for long...

It's true. I am her PFB

@ahysh

I'm amazed this thread is still here 🤷‍♀️

Maybe OP will ask for it to be pulled now a few people are beginning to see the inconsistencies in their posts....

@iBrows

You sound very cheesed off about it.

you win the thread for that comment have a

Bet your fun at parties OP
