Comment on "Gluten Free" has officially gone too far.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 months agoAs I said to someone else, no one needs to buy kinetic sand, it’s incredibly easy to make. If an allergy is an issue with that sort of thing, they can make it themselves. Same with play-dough. Why are they trusting someone else to do it with stuff so easy to make they literally have kids make it themselves in things like Girl Scouts.

What’s your problem with something adequate for children with health issues being available off the shelf anyway? I know how to make many things, but I’m not cooking strawberry marmelade or baking bread every time I have breakfast either.
Little scenario:
Grandma wants to bring a little present for her grandkid and pop at the shop, sees something that’s marketed gluten free and remembers that they are allergic, so they buy it. Grandkid has fun, grandma is happy, gluten free kinetic sand brand has made a sale.
Or do you suggest that grandma should look up the recipe online, then go to home depot to buy sand and to walmart to get starch, beforehand?

The only problem I have is a bunch of people are coming in pissed off that I thought the idea of gluten-free sand was amusing.

Maybe after you learn why you could just stop arguing?

But I enjoy talking to people and I don’t get many opportunities in my offline life.

That hill you’re dying on is made out gluten free kinetic sand.
