Foods/drinks I can't consume anymore because I associate them with poverty and even even though I'm still in poverty I'm in slightly less poverty now, so eating or even being near them gives me horrible flashbacks of almost starving to death, or worse:
1) Canned meat(think spam, Vienna sausage, etc)
2) Powder milk(we didn't have it often, but it was the only type of milk we did have)
3) Any vegetable not from a can(this one is different, I'm just used to canned vegetables so everything else tastes wrong and I get paranoid(literally paranoid) it's rotten or something)
4) Hot chocolate made with water(again, didn’t have it often, but just the few times was enough to put me off)
5) Anything greasy(my stomach just can't handle it after so long of not really having anything cooked, let alone fried)
6) Anything with a lot of butter(I used to get so hungry I'd eat full sticks of it because I knew it was the only thing I could eat as much as I wanted of without taking food from my family)
7) American cheese(when I was a toddler me and one of my sisters slept on a mattress on the floor together and whenever our parents could afford American cheese we would hide some under the mattress to eat at night so we weren't weak for school the next day(also we have free lunch and breakfast at school where I live but it's useless to me because I'm allergic to a major ingredient in like 99% of it))
8) Rice(it was in every food box we got from the food bank)
9) Zebra gum(it was the cheapest candy anywhere near me sold, so on the rare occasion we got candy, it was that)
10) Ramen noodles(before it got Bad, but was still worse than it is now, I had plain chicken flavored Ramen noodles EVERY DAY)
There's more than that, but I'm tired so I'm gonna end this here.

morton salt merch
#as a kid (11? 12?) i’d chew zebra gum but it was really cheap & lost flavor fast so i would keep things fun & fresh by sprinkling some salt#onto the bland gum. while watching sailor moon on the family computer. i had to be deficient in something#morton salt

So I hear they’re discontinuing Fruit Stripe Gum? I never really cared for it because of the fast-disappearing flavor, but it’s funny how I kind of want some again now that I know it’s my last chance.

some of my fave outfits i've picked out for diantha so far + some close up detail
#i esp love the striped jacket bc i just KNOW cynthia got in trouble by calling it a clown jacket the very first time she saw it dlhfjk#but now she calls it the zebstrika gum jacket (because i call it the zebra gum jacket lol)#[dont @ me with the actual name of fruit stripe--it's zebra gum and it's flavor lasted .5 seconds]#newer headcanon of mine is that diantha has some freckles on her face and shoulders but they're usually covered up with makeup#she was absolutely self-conscious about them for the longest time but then was like 'this is a stupid thing to worry about--#they're literally going to be on my body my whole life why do i care'#kellyn plays#the sims#ts4

The iconic chewing gum Fruit Stripe will be discontinued, its manufacturer Ferrara Foods announced this week...It’s flavor lasted as long as it took you to read this post. As a kid the temporary tattoos were a gateway for the love of tattoos. Fun Fact: Next time you pull a stick of Fruit Stripe Gum from the pack try eating the wrapper. They're edible! This bubble gum just keeps getting cooler! (Buy a pack before all the packs are gone forever). #ripfruitstripegum

here‘s the thing; all the peepaws can actually differentiate from each other, which is kind of scary, however…
they are completely lost when it comes to the little Leos. they regularly take the wrong one home.
#fruit stripe like the gum btw#it tastes like shit but the fake tatt thing is cute and I like the zebra

not a poll, but the white and rainbow kitty reminds me of Yipes, Fruit Stripe zebra! A+ character.
LOL. Yes, it does. Wasn't that the gum you chewed the whole pack because it would lose its flavor so quickly?
