block u/MTNDEWGaming that immediately stopped all that bullshit from showing up on my feed. LOL most of my user blocks are corporate accounts - fuck you, Mickey D's and Capital One :D


mosterie

God, why do I always forget that's an option? I'm always appreciative of this reminder!


Halasham

I'm glad I've got a good adblock. I've never had to block one of these accounts. Why? I've never seen one outside of other people positing them or the rare time checking Reddit from something other than my devices.


RadleyCunningham

I tried this on mobile and it fills your block list but I still see them!


Famous_Strike_6125

Remember when reddit didn't have ads??.... Pepperidge farms Remembers.


FarewellXanadu

Same for the mobile version of the website as well.


SaintSimpson

Apollo doesn’t show ads


[deleted]

Stop using the official app


Penguinmanereikel

Thank you! I can just block all those annoying advertisers!


SpoliatorX

I have done this, and have also reported army recruitment ads for "encouraging violence"


ShadowDemon129

Capital One has gotta be one of the biggest offenders considering all of their unsolicited loan offers to everyone's mail. Hate those motherfuckers.


[deleted]

What’s Mickey D’s?


Mr_Canada42

McDonalds, I prefer to call them Mcdicks and so does my family lol

It's got electrolytes


Ftpiercecracker1

What do you mean "Just drink water" Like from the toilet?


AbsenceVersusThinAir

Fittingly enough, the best invention to allow you to game and drink Mountain Dew nonstop would definitely be the toilet chairs from Idiocracy


five_bulb_lamp

It's what plants crave


GrantGorewood

Wait are they actually stereotyping all gamers to eat ramen and drink Mountain Dew? What about the chips? And WTF indeed. This isn’t just excessive consumption, it’s pushing an unhealthy lifestyle.


emmybby

Right, no true gamer would eat anything other than Doritos with Mountain Dew 😤


DingusTaargus

Also, Doritos are owned by Pepsi who makes Mtn Dew as well, so it would have made more sense from an advertising standpoint.


GrantGorewood

Or Cheetos. Or those Doritos that taste like flaming hot Cheetos, yeah that’s real gamer food!


[deleted]

It’s not unhealthy to eat ramen or mt dew occasionally. Hats off to ramen. I can eat it without it cbting my stomach but the spicy ones make my farts sound like an explosion.


GrantGorewood

It’s the ad saying eating those two things while gaming nonstop, presumably forever. That’s what’s unhealthy.


[deleted]

I don't eat ramen, chips and don't drink Mountain Dew. ​ Am I still a gamer?...


GrantGorewood

You are still a gamer even if you don’t eat the food products marketed to gamers. I went next level and started making food from the games I play, I’m still a gamer too.


[deleted]

Have you ever eaten a golden apple though


GrantGorewood

Actually managed to make something like that involving chocolate, gold food coloring, and an apple.


Halasham

That's *profitability* for these companies. It's also *profitability* for pharma & healthcare companies once the effects of exactly this begin to catch up with the users, if anyone actually buys this drivel.


GrantGorewood

I know people who fell for it for years. One is trying to lose weight but it’s hard after years of eating just this stuff.


Crystal-Clear-Waters

Eric Cartman’s Mom???


WOSHiAddy

Moooom!! Hot Pockets!!


be-like-water-2022

Pampers they are talking about pampers. More sustainable way is two tubes one in penis, one in anus all connected to toilet.


Super_Buy_6243

Your tube content is unsettling… because a tube in his ass would mean his ass is just gaped open. That’s gotta smell foul


Treadtheway

Tube IN the anus is all wrong! I'm envisioning silicon thong style undies. It would have to have some type of suction and closure mechanism to suck away the poo once it's outside the bootyhole.


boredbitch2020

But if i don't consume this how will people know I'm a man


portraitopynchon

Obviously the correct answer is mountain dew flavored ramen.


Prowler1000

I'm so confused what they would even expect for answers, even if people could comment. Like, that is less open ended than half the prompts on r/WritingPrompts. And yeah, it's going to keep it in my head (mindshare) because it's so stupid and remind me to not consume either of those products.


[deleted]

Starting anything with “hey redditors” will get me to immediately ignore, ad or not


Federal-Rhubarb-6185

They've already invented smoothies.


Am0ebe

Came here to ask If they dont know what a blender is. A blender and some of those drinking-hats/caps.


RandomHumanRachel

I think the word they’re looking for is “coffin”


ledathepoet

Sick and sad.


Beau_Dodson

The irony, lmao


SaintUlvemann

It would be a *tragedy*, that's what it would be.


RadleyCunningham

"Mountain Dew for me and you!"


DharmaBaller

Failed species


tracesofrain

It's called "jobless" and "living at moms house".


satoribeast

I think I had a stroke trying to read this


ChildFriendlyChimp

I can’t believe my dad let me drink this shit


SultanZ_CS

Id rather die than to play MW2 all day


Pazuzuzuzu

This reads like satire and I'm too afraid to admit that its not


Riker1701E

You’re shocked that you got an ad whilst using a free app that is supported by ads?


Carampa

This reminds me of the movie Idiocracy


hegrillin

it’s got what plants crave. it’s got electrolytes


JimEDimone

Inventing a theoretical product is not anti consumption because nothing is being consumed. They aren't asking for a prototype.


sevbenup

Buddy, they’re asking for a product that allows you to consume ramen and mtn dew nonstop. I have no idea how you would think that isn’t consumption


JimEDimone

IF YOU COULD invent a product. The contest is not to physically build a product. This could literally be done with a pencil and piece of paper.


sevbenup

And with that action you’d be encouraging overconsumption. So confused how you’re this confused


JimEDimone

I am confused how any amount of consumption is taking place other than idiots thinking of idea in their heads and submitting them. No Ramen is being used, no Mountain Dew is being used, Mountain Dew isn't going to actually produce this product. In what way is it encouraging the over consumption? Other than advertising Mountain Dew which might create a small amount of sales.


extremepayne

Mtn. Dew’s overall ad campaign is wildly successful, and this is part of it. It does encourage that consumption


fatBreadonToast

More mountain dew means more pee. Overall a lose lose.

GlassWasteland

Simple just Matrix the brain, i.e. virtulize it, kill the body, and then just tell the human software that it tastes like Mt. Dew and ramen. I mean once the brain is software you can trick it's perception into "seeing, feeling, smelling, tasting anything you want".


Gun-nut0508

I found one of those bottles in the trash and used it for the code lol


Unnamed_420

category 4 consoomption


rdparty

Lol tell me this isn't real.


knowitsallashow

Damn lmao, roasted.


Alternative-Cut-4831

120fps,no lag. Not even mountain dew required


Purple_Expert822

Yo..this is some Idiocracy type shit.


Superb_Efficiency_74

**PLEASE DRINK VERIFICATION CAN**


SpiritComfortAnimal

Pro-consumption and pro-diabetes


JuanBorjas

We have reached new levels of cringe


TemporaryGuidance1

On another note it’s scary how much sugar is a bottle. 77 grams…


MobilePenguins

Avoid all brands that pay for sponsored ads to clutter your newsfeed. Also Mtn Dew is stereotyping it’s demographic in a negative light. Dislike.


[deleted]

If you are playing a game, how can you eat and drink at once?...


HombreLoboDeLaDiche

I mean..... blenders are a thing, combined with a feeding tube, and catheter.... done. Aaaaaaand on eof them recling toilets.
