Pretty meh soup, by the way. Not worth the price… but I see the word ‘coconut’ and I can’t resist.

    You wanna know real suck? My fiancee is allergic to corn and corn byproducts. Including cornstarch and high fructose corn syrup. The same high fructose corn syrup they like the disguise the name of, because the name has gotten a bad rap because it’s a bad thing when compared to actual sugar. So we have to read the labels of everything to make sure that it doesn’t have corn anything in it, which means she has to know all of the bullshit names that they put corn products under.

      This guy made an app called Soosee that looks at labels for you, and highlights ingredients that are not ok. The app is pre-populated, but has a customizable element to it, meaning that you can manually add in all the bullshit names and it’ll search for them, too. It works really well, I use it all the time as I have a sulphate allergy, and they pull the same bullshit there.

      I know someone who’s former girlfriend had that issue. She couldn’t even go into certain buildings because, god knows why, corn is used to make drywall.
