[17:28] CaptianPlanet007: nope
[17:28] CaptianPlanet007: you must have had a deprived child hood
[17:28] CaptianPlanet007: but seriously
[17:28] CaptianPlanet007: you've never been to any kind of camp at all?

[17:30] bel473: what is so great about camp
[17:30] bel473: explain to me
[17:30] CaptianPlanet007: it's a classic childhood experience vital to proper developement
[17:30] bel473: hahaha
[17:31] bel473: well, i guess i havent developed properly
[17:31] CaptianPlanet007: haha
[17:31] CaptianPlanet007: nope
[17:31] CaptianPlanet007: theres a void in your emotional life that will forever be empty
[17:31] CaptianPlanet007: not really
[17:32] CaptianPlanet007: since you never went to camp, you have no idea what the camp experience holds
[17:32] CaptianPlanet007: so technically you're not missing out on anything
[17:32] bel473: yes, i suppose
[17:33] CaptianPlanet007: yeah
[17:33] CaptianPlanet007: but anyway
[17:33] bel473: cant miss what you never had
[17:33] bel473: hmm
[17:33] CaptianPlanet007: industrial food
[17:33] CaptianPlanet007: ,yeah
[17:33] bel473: yeah
[17:33] CaptianPlanet007: exactly
[17:33] bel473: hahaha
[17:33] CaptianPlanet007: it's like
[17:33] CaptianPlanet007: ok
[17:33] CaptianPlanet007: im going to try and explain this in words you might understand
[17:33] bel473: ok
[17:33] CaptianPlanet007: have you ever gone to a sports event
[17:34] CaptianPlanet007: preferably baseball
[17:34] CaptianPlanet007: or a carnival
[17:34] bel473: yes
[17:34] bel473: yes i have
[17:34] CaptianPlanet007: or like some local thing that some church event puts on
[17:34] CaptianPlanet007: have you ever had nachos at any of these events?
[17:35] bel473: um yes
[17:35] CaptianPlanet007: was this at a sports event or at a local type thing?
[17:36] CaptianPlanet007: cause it's probably different
[17:36] bel473: carnival
[17:36] bel473: i think
[17:36] bel473: hahaha
[17:36] CaptianPlanet007: ok
[17:36] CaptianPlanet007: and you know the chese sauce that they use?
[17:36] bel473: uh huh
[17:36] CaptianPlanet007: that generic instant nacho chese?
[17:36] CaptianPlanet007: stuff?
[17:36] bel473: yeah
[17:36] CaptianPlanet007: yeah
[17:36] CaptianPlanet007: ok
[17:36] CaptianPlanet007: think about what they do to make it
[17:36] CaptianPlanet007: not prepare the sauce
[17:36] bel473: hahaha
[17:37] CaptianPlanet007: but the whole canning of the chese and stuff
[17:37] CaptianPlanet007: man
[17:37] bel473: yeah
[17:37] CaptianPlanet007: i've been spelling "cheese" wrong this whole time
[17:37] CaptianPlanet007: anyway
[17:37] bel473: HAHA
[17:37] CaptianPlanet007: you know what im thinking about right?
[17:37] CaptianPlanet007: describe what you're thinking about
[17:37] bel473: haha
[17:38] bel473: ok, like, you the cheese doesnt taste as authentic
[17:38] bel473: you can get a sense of the fact that its been in a can
[17:38] bel473: thus depriving it of its true cheese flavor
[17:38] CaptianPlanet007: it's been processed and what not...
[17:38] bel473: yes, exactly
[17:38] bel473: not natural
[17:38] bel473: processed
[17:38] CaptianPlanet007: yeah
[17:38] CaptianPlanet007: ok
[17:38] CaptianPlanet007: now
[17:39] CaptianPlanet007: picture this
[17:39] CaptianPlanet007: theres a brand called "sysco" that basically makes every single product they make like that. the whole processed, not natural, canned in bulk, kind of gross...
[17:40] CaptianPlanet007: and it's cheap
[17:40] bel473: like from cost.co.
[17:40] CaptianPlanet007: so many groups will purchase this food for cost
[17:40] CaptianPlanet007: no
[17:40] CaptianPlanet007: no
[17:40] CaptianPlanet007: no
[17:40] CaptianPlanet007: because costco is amazing
[17:40] bel473: oh ok
[17:40] CaptianPlanet007: more like sams
[17:40] bel473: ok i see
[17:40] CaptianPlanet007: ok
[17:40] CaptianPlanet007: anyway
[17:41] CaptianPlanet007: because the product is cheap, and you can buy alot of it, camps will buy this food to feed to kids.
[17:41] bel473: uh huh
[17:41] CaptianPlanet007: do you watch the simpsons?
[17:41] bel473: umm, i have before
[17:41] bel473: but not really
[17:41] CaptianPlanet007: oh
[17:41] bel473: looks like im really deprived
[17:42] CaptianPlanet007: well perhaps did you see the episode when krusty burger brings back the "ribwhich"?
[17:42] CaptianPlanet007: totally
[17:42] bel473: i actually havent :(
[17:42] CaptianPlanet007: oh
[17:42] CaptianPlanet007: well
[17:42] CaptianPlanet007: they show a clip
[17:43] CaptianPlanet007: when they take you through the factory where the meat is made
[17:43] CaptianPlanet007: and it's basically a steel mill
[17:43] CaptianPlanet007: you get the idea...
[17:43] bel473: yeah
[17:43] bel473: totally
[17:43] CaptianPlanet007: it's the same basic concept for sysco
[17:43] bel473: i see
[17:43] CaptianPlanet007: not that they make their food in steel mills
[17:44] CaptianPlanet007: but the whole, "as long as it looks vaguely like the real thing, then it's edible"
[17:44] bel473: oic
[17:44] bel473: ok
[17:44] bel473: so where did you get these fruit chews?
[17:45] CaptianPlanet007: i dont know
[17:45] bel473: haha
[17:45] CaptianPlanet007: they're my brothers
[17:45] CaptianPlanet007: but they're a knock off brand
[17:45] CaptianPlanet007: and they came in boxes of 50 packs or something
[17:45] CaptianPlanet007: and i saw them in our pantry
[17:45] CaptianPlanet007: so i grabbed a pack
[17:45] CaptianPlanet007: and it has an industrial flavor
[17:46] bel473: i seee
[17:46] CaptianPlanet007: yeah
[17:46] CaptianPlanet007: yeah!
[17:46] CaptianPlanet007: so do you understand a little bit better how the industrial flavor came to be?
[17:46] bel473: yes, i do
[17:46] bel473: wow, i learned something new today
[17:47] bel473: thank you trevor
[17:47] CaptianPlanet007: haha
[17:47] CaptianPlanet007: no problem
[17:47] bel473: are there different flavors
[17:47] bel473: like starburst?
[17:47] CaptianPlanet007: huh?
[17:47] CaptianPlanet007: oh
[17:47] CaptianPlanet007: yeah
[17:48] CaptianPlanet007: theres strawberry, orange, cherry, berry blue, green apple, and lemonade
[17:48] bel473: wow
[17:48] CaptianPlanet007: green apple is the worst
[17:48] bel473: yeah
[17:48] bel473: i dont really like that flavor
[17:48] CaptianPlanet007: and of course i got 92386293 of those
