This is OC, and I've never made anything like this before, so I apologize that it's a little ugly, I threw it together in MS Paint 30 minutes after waking up. If anyone is capable and willing to make it any prettier please feel free. Share where you can, and don't be a scab

    It's just occurred to be that I put a picture of baking soda as an alternative to baking powder. Don't do that, they're not the same thing. Baking powder is baking soda combined with an acidic ingredient like cream of tartar or sodium aluminium sulfate in order to create more rise from the CO2 that results from the acid-base reaction. Buy Clabber girl baking powder, don't fuck up your cookies by using the wrong thing :meow-bounce:

    Our situation is so bleak that this earnest post seems like parody. Don't buy Mendelez, buy Unilever instead! It's praxis!

      Right? Like I've pretended not to know what oreos were before like "what the fuck is an oreo, some sort of off-brand hydrox snack cookie or something?" and no one ever knows what the fuck I'm on about. I thought hydrox went out of business because it sounds like a cleaning product, not a cookie (in fact I'm pretty sure I was literally taught that in a college class).

      I would imagine the answer is usually yes, but I believe it is the case that sometimes store brand versions of snacks come from the same factory as the name brand version. It probably depends on which.

        This definitely happens, you're right. "Private label" is sometimes used instead of "store brand" if anyone wants to look into it more.

        The real question there is whether or not the boycotted company owns that factory. If the factory is a third party that is just contracting its production to the boycotted company and, separately, to the store brand, then the fact that both products come from the same factory is immaterial.

    Also be advised that Cadbury is part of the same megacorp
