Didn’t read his comment at all, did ya bro?

Know your enemy?

I know a lot about Musk, Trump, Thiel, Sacks, RFK, etc.

I feel like when most people think of 1990s food, they’re (accurately) picturing brightly-colored snacks and candy.

I’m also inclined to think that kids today are VERY aware of the 80s due to the popularity of the aesthetic and it feels weird that someone would assume we went “backwards” with candy like that
