There's a subreddit for just about everything, but if you're a legit Uncle Ben's fan who is also a serious Redditor (that's a lonely island), you might be disappointed to find that the subreddit r/UncleBens isn't so much a gathering of hardcore pre-cooked rice fans, as it is an online sub-community of DIY psilocybin cultivators who are using Uncle Ben's and other supermarket staples to grow magic mushrooms.
[...] What makes Uncle Bens the perfect vessel for psilocybin, according to the r/UncleBens crew, is that mushroom cultivation "requires a sterile, nutrient-rich environment in which their spores can grow," and since Uncle Ben's rice is pre-cooked, sterilized and vacuum-sealed, it provides the necessary environment for cultivation.

This whole #BLM thing is going too far... Uncle Ben was a real person, known for producing the highest-quality rice in the Houston area, and he was a positive role model who showed little pickaninnies that anyone can succeed in the corporate world with enough hard work and a good attitude. Now he's going to be unemployed and Aunt Jemima's going to have to support the family by herself.

Aunt Jemima was also a real person, known for producing the highest-quality flapjack syrup in the Louisiana area, and she was a positive role model who showed little pickaninnies that anyone can succeed in the kitchen with enough hard work and a good attitude.

Ha!
Ya got me good. @TMB could learn a thing or two about trolling from you. I can safely assume you are not TMB posting AC since he swears up and down he never posts AC or uses sock puppets. Who can doubt him?

It's cheaper than Uncle B's too.

Kroger won't let me in their store because I'm a granola girl and I insist on using my own reusable shopping bag and Kroger people insist my reusable shopping bag might be full of chroma virus. I gotta buy my granola at CVS where CVS people can hide behind their chroma virus shield at the register while I fill my reusable shopping bag at the self checkout machine. I'm totally cereal.

I went in with a backpack on a couple weeks ago and didn't get any grief. I pulled a reusable bag out of the backpack at self checkout and used that too. Maybe they just don't care anymore.

Granola girls? Weren't they the generation preceding the Flapper girls?
