Raisins are troll faces disguised as food.

How, you may ask?

Well, let me ask you this.

How often do you jump the gun thinking a cookie is chocolate chip, but you find out the hard way it's oatmeal raisin when you take a big bite?
There actually is a company that makes chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. No fear of raisins.

That I like. They even make Special K with little chocolate bits in it.
I tried it, it was terrible. The chocolate bits are either semisweet or unsweetened altogether, so you get a really bland and disatisfying cereal.

Am I the only one who thinks superimposed CGI mouths on animals looks really creepy? It's one of the reasons why I don't like those talking dog movies.

Not if it's done well. Or, you can just go the Homeward Bound route and just dub the lines in over the animal footage without having their mouths move at all.

Honestly, I think it kinda looks creepier when it's well done. :eek: I prefer when talking animals are done in the Milo and Otis/Homeward Bound way.

BTW, have you ever seen/heard of the movie A Talking Cat? (Go look it up on YouTube and you'll see the trailer.) They didn't even bother to make the cat's mouth CGI in that - instead, they just poorly pasted a wiggling black shape over its mouth.

Different productions have used different techniques. In the case of MISTER ED, they apparently used to line the inside of his lips with a fuzzy wire or some sort that would pull and tug on off camera to create a tickling sensation that would cause his mouth to move and make it appear to talk.

Yes, it is semisweet dark chocolate. Dark chocolate has healthy antioxidants in it, which is beneficial to people...my age and older.
I hate to break this to you folks, but in a few decades, a lot of your bodies might not be able to tolerate the frosty cereals with the cartoon mascot on the box.
As the years rack up, you might have to eat this stuff someday.
It's not out of fear or sadness, "Dang, I can't have triple chocolate frosted cocoa pebble bombs anymore. Bye, Fred and Barney. We had a good run!"
No, as you get older, your priorities change, and you become a little more conscious of what you feed your face.
