But it still exists on the black market. And I guess where it was previously oozing from the ground. And the executives are now mind controlled by it, so they really didn't solve anything.

But that's a wrap! Good work everyone.

πŸ¦–MONSTERDON 🎞️
⏳ 30 MINUTE POLL

OK, time for the ANSWER!

Which was NOT used to represent The Stuff? Your answers were:
0% Marshmallow fluff
22% Fire-extinguishing foam
56% HΓ€agen DΓ€zs ice-cream
22% Blended fish bones

The CORRECT ANSWER is Marshmallow fluff, not used. In some scenes, a foam made of blended fish bones was used. It stank so much that, as soon as the shots were done, the actors ran to a river in order to wash off the stench.

#monsterdon I saw the best minds of my generation: Once again, for newer folks Wendy's I think it was had a whole big "Where's the beef" ad campaign in the mid 80's that absolutely devoured everyone's attention for a good several months. People were just running around saying "Where's the beef" for no reason and we all laughed and it was awful, just awful.

the "Where's the Stuff" was a nod to that and I think featured the same lady?

edit: Younger folks, I guess newer works as well

I love movies that are clearly satires but I have no fucking clue what they're satirizing? Advertising? Food that looks like cum? #monsterdon

Sucralose (Splenda) was "discovered" in an ~~insecticide~~ lab when someone misheard "Test it" as "Taste it".

EDIT: *not* specifically an insecticide lab, but still a mishearing of "test" for "taste" while researching novel uses of sugar by-products, including as possible insectides

Anyhoo I finally got it to activate, the window is closed! The control panel is re-epoxied! And no one may ever touch that window button on pain of my extreme displeasure!! 😠

But now I still need to make dinner and do a bunch of other stuff, so I am skipping #Monsterdon tonight.

"Hmmm, something oozing out of the ground – I think I'll taste it."

– things I've never said.

Well, that was messy both in the sense of being about a bunch of goopy stuff all over the place and also questionable editing work, but it was fun! I still want a clear version of the song.

Goodnight #monsterdon, see y'all next week!
