048 – the flintstones
i was talking to some friends recently about how good flintstones vitamins taste. i mean, they’re good! when i was a little kid, my parents found me hiding under my desk one time eating as many as i could. …and i had some recently – and it was no childhood fantasy! they actually taste good!
what a mystery this is though – because as adults we all unfortunately find out that nothing in this world that is good for you taste good. its all gross. fact of life: healthy food tastes bad. EXCEPT for flintstones vitamins! how did they do that? i think instead of asking how, we should be asking what. what can we do with these amazing vitamins?
i think we could change the way that healthy food is perceived. what if we simply crunched up flintstones vitamins and made spices out of them? just imagine green beans: with a hint of strawberry flavoring. they would be amazing – and the greatest thing is that you’re only adding more nutrients! you could flavor anything, even ice cream could now in a sense be called ‘healthy’. we could separate them into individual flavors, but also create an ‘allspice’ that was just an entire bottle of flintstones crushed up. i think this would take the culinary world by storm. healthy food would be tasty! we would name the spice after the character we crushed up. there would be ‘essence of dino’ and a ‘dash of bam-bam’. think of the fun that Emeril Lagasse would have would that: “and BAM we just add a little BAMBAM! BAM!”
funny story! when I was about 8 and my dear sister was 12 she told me if you ate 2 flintstone vitamins you would die. and rightfully so what ever Bethany said was true. so i dare not touch 2 vitamins. one day bethany proceeded to eat 2 vitamins and began to what else, fake her own death. I was convinced my sister had just died by flintstone intake. I was a upsetting yet exciting day. on one hand i thought for a brief moment I lost my sister and I was a only child but on the other hand i now knew you could eat more than on flintstone vitamin!
This blog’s great!! Thanks

That’s a crazy story jordyn. I once tried to eat a whole bottle of grape flavored aspirin cause I love grape. My mother caught me after four and spanked me.
