Ask armati a question

[Metsfanmax]

OK, I would accept such a discussion.

[saxitoxin]

Would you accept an invitation to, through private messaging, a debate in moral philosophy, on the subject of my choice?

No. If I do not know in advance the subject, the only person I would permit to choose it is saxi.

Good idea for a brand extension of Hot Pockets: ChocoPockets?

I'm thinking basically the bread shell of a HotPocket, but lightly glazed and filled with chocolate pudding. Like Hot Pockets, they would be frozen with the intention of heating prior to consumption. They'd also be one-half the size of a Hot Pocket (so four to a package, instead of two) as otherwise they'd be like a million calories each.

The commercial jingle would change from -

"When you wanna hot meal without a big deal,
Whadday gonna get?
Hot Pockets!"

- to -

"When you wanna fast treat that tastes warn 'n sweet,
Whaddya gonna get?
ChocoPockets!"

Yes or No?

As a non-consumer of chocolate... or Hot Pockets... I can only testify as to my guess on the effect this will have on the marketing of Hot Pockets, and whether ChocoPockets would sell well. I think this would be a mild hit for a few months and then the fad would be over.

Probably. I'm not too concerned it will cannibalize our sales as you're not exactly going to choose one over the other. But you're probably correct it will be a flash in the pan. There wouldn't be enough taste combinations to sustain consumer interest beyond trial / curiosity.

[Metsfanmax]

I am curious as to why you have a sudden interest in Hot Pockets, but alas this is not the "ask saxitoxin a question" thread, so I suppose I shall remain in the dark.

[nietzsche]

saxi did not chose your avatar. It was me.

and you don't eat chocolate? what else? you don't go to parties? you don't laugh? you don't masturbate? you don't drink?

kill yourself already.

Mets - is Freedom Call's "Warriors of Light" actually an anti-abortion song? I've just started thinking it might be.

[Funkyterrance]

To me it's pretty obvious: Hot pocket for supper, chocolate version for dessert; there's no conflict whatsoever. The name needs work, though. If anything, choc-pocket so at least it rhymes with hot pocket. Hot chochlits? You can't have thec actusl word chocolate in the name, of course, because that would imply the thing was actually composed of edible ingredients. Could get messy, I would like a picture of saxi immediately after eating one, though, chocolate syrup smeared all over his face.

Do you think heavy metal bands should start screening for performance-enhancing drugs like sports leagues do?

No. Music is not a competition; everyone can be a winner.

Well I actually considered Choc-Pockets, however, that's going to be a marketing dilemma as, when you hear it vocalized, you're gonna think "CHALK" pockets which sounds gross. Also, your 1 week wall ban extends to directly addressing me in the forums.

But anyway, back to Mets ...

METS, if you could be an expert at one of the following skills, which would it be? Your choices are: boxing, fencing, jumprope.

[Funkyterrance]

I wasn't directly addressing anyone, well I am now, but I was referring to you in the third person.

[Funkyterrance]

Mets, would you buy an over the counter remedy for acid indigestion, consisting of calcium carbonate wrapped in a delicious, microwavable, flaky crust, called a chalk-pocket?

Fencing.

Does the calcium carbonate get all moist and chewy when you microwave it?

Mets,is the rule of law the highest morality we can answer to?

[RiskTycoon]

What about Super Models? Should they not be allowed to use Photoshop?....Or is that not really "performance-enhancing"?

[khazalid]

Dear Mets,

If you knew in advance you could get away with it, would you have Funkyterrance killed?

[Metsfanmax]

Dear Mets,

I'll let you know after we complete our private debate on abortion.

Being beautiful is indeed a competition, so photoshop is not permitted.

Mets,is the rule of law the highest morality we can answer to?

No, I don't think so. But I don't have great advice on when one should disobey the law for a greater moral good.

Why do you not consume chocolate?

ask me that question please

Maybe you could call them, I dunno, "Pop Tarts"...

Hmm, that's actually a very solid point... What were you thinking, Saxi???

Why do you not consume chocolate?

The process of creating dairy products is inherently violent and cruel. The life of a dairy cow is a misery and does not justify having a tasty treat.

There's non-dairy dark chocolate, but honestly I don't like it much.

If the chocolate milk came from cows which derive pleasure from "awful" living conditions, then would you consume the chocolate milk?
