Unilever Recalls All Slimfast Drinks

Well, At Least It's a Non-Lethal Toxin

Oh, you know that can of SlimFast is there in the fridge or cupboard . . . way back behind the disfavored jams and baking soda box . . .

That reminds me. Did you hear about the recent Butterball Turkey recall?





















They forgot to butter their balls!

Unilever, which makes Slim Fast, said the recall was prompted by "quality testing" that turned up Bacillus cereus, a toxin that can cause nausea and diarrhea but that is not life-threatening.
Wait a minute. I'm not supposed to get nausea and diarrhea from drinking Slim Fast?

Damn!

You get diarrhea and nausea and you don't feel like eating so you lose weight.

ENSURE is suppose be the product to give you the "RUN&GUN" trots!!!

I know from P-experience...

Try a can of that with a wired-shut jaw and being only two days post-op on getting your left leg "shafted" with a six-ribbed-rod inserted into your femur.

Couple that with a nurse-less call-button attached to your hospital bed and a dying desire NOT TO MESS THE BED...

PAIN takes a distant seat (pardon the pun) to pride when you fail to heed any post-op advice and R U N for the bathroom. Actually, it was a painfully loud squeeling while hopping on one leg for the bathroom that seemed about 2 miles across the room...

I didn't care what the nurse was looking at when she FINALLY decided to answer the call button...but (again, pardone the pun) I didn't exactly feel like sitting in a puddle of my own making 'cause she had wet finger-nails from a recent nail-job and she couldn't answer my call-button!

I hoped her damned fingernails ended up smelling like my keister-blast!!!



ENSURE - Slimfast - WHATEVER.

Isn't diarrhea what helps you loose the weight? I know I must have lost about 20 pounds in that one sitting alone!

You are thinking Xenacal or the OTC version which is half strength AKA Alli. Took it once and found that I pooped all kinds of oils. Think Campbell Chicken and Rice Soup. When you cut the top off, you can see all kinds of oil globs. That is what you are blowing out.
