Please tell me this isn’t a real product.

It is most likely real, and it falls in line with gluten free vodka. What people are unwilling to look up, marketers are able to exploit as an “edge”.

Yes good example. I will say, apprently the rice in the OP does serve a purpose beyond “plant free rice”, but the label seems to hit off the mark. I feel like the actual marketing opportunity would be low calorie or digestive aide rice based on several other comments.

It really is! I’ve actually held a package. I can’t remember if rice was even an ingredient.

yeah it’s made from konjac, i think it’s mainly for people who want to eat as little calories as possible

Ohhh so that’s why… So the rice actually does do something? But I think the marketer who designed this needs to be sent back to high school to retake biology or sth

The marketing is intentional. It’s intentional use of buzzwords for search engine optimization, as well as for, you know, stupid people.

Suppose if you left out the “plant based” part on a site where this is sold, then anyone searching “plant based snacks” might not get this as a result.

I’m overly simplifying, but I hope you get what I’m saying.

Or they’re constipated…

Konjac is supposed to help with cholesterol and acne too.

But mainly constipation.

“Grain Free Made from the Konjac plant eaten in Asia for over 1,000 years”

So, it’s not rice?

Not the plant you think, though.

Is it poison ivy? Mandrake? Fly agaric mushroom?

That last one is pretty good when filtered through the piss of a thrall, or so my ancestors claim 😉

I didn’t really care for those mushrooms. They just made me very, very sweaty.

And super easy. Just cut the green off and throw the white part in the food processor, fry it up in little bit of oil or butter for 3-4min done. (Coconut oil the best)
