literally, due to rocks. they got rocks in them
april 2, 2025
Tony’s Chocolonely Inc., a New York, New York Corporation, is voluntarily recalling seven lots of Tony’s brand Dark Almond Sea Salt Bar (6.35oz); and Everything Bar (6.35oz) because the product may contain small stones. The products were distributed nationwide and sold in the United States via retail stores and www.tonyschocolonely.com; distribution of the products began February 7, 2025 and ended March 24, 2025.
emphasis mine.
this recall only affects some lots of the dark almond sea salt bar and the everything bar, due to the rock problem. they were distributed nationwide in stores and on the internet. I included their pictures at the top.
I am not able to format a table for tumblr, so check that recall link for the specific lot codes and expiration dates.
The recall was initiated following 12 reports of consumers finding small stones in the product not filtered during third-party almond harvesting and the almond processing process. All complaints occurred outside of the United States and Canada, and no injuries were reported.
they found rocks after there were 12 reports that said hey. there are rocks in this. this can easily lead to dental problems if someone tries to bite full force on a rock and breaks a tooth or otherwise injures their mouth. dental infections can eventually become life-threatening even in people who are young and otherwise healthy. so it is a good thing nobody apparently ate the rocks yet. or at least, nobody got injured while potentially eating rocks. yet
If you have purchased one of the affected products with the specified lot codes and have not yet consumed it, you are advised not to eat the product. Please return the product to the store of purchase for a refund or replacement or dispose of the product. Please consult the following webpage to confirm how to identify the lot code and claim a refund or replacement in your market: https://us.tonyschocolonely.com/pages/recall-fo-intl-0325
emphasis mine.
please do not the rocks. thank you
2025 had a record setting 157 food recalls in Q1 alone. Most are for listeria and salmonella, but sometimes they're for rocks in your chocolate or wood in your Lean Cuisine Butternut Squash Ravioli.
Deregulation of food safety is so profitable for companies. You don't get a refund when they admit whoopsies, your Alehouse Clam Chowder and Smoked Salmon Chowder are infected with Clostridium botulinum. They already have your money! It's up to you to stay on top of the recalls and throw away everything that's contaminated.
This isn't just annoying - it's lethal.
Every listeria and salmonella recall notice comes with a warning that X people have been hospitalized and Y people have died. That's how they trace the listeria - by working backwards from known infections. Those numbers only reflect insured people whose doctors or the ER thought to check, so they don't include the poor and uninsured. The real hospitalizations and deaths are so much higher.
If you're poor, you're not throwing away perfectly good food - especially if you got this food from a food pantry. You'd think the recalled foods would go in the trash, but last fall when cucumbers were lethal they were plentiful at food pantries. Same for the listeria broccoli and bagged salad mixes. I bet there will be surprise chocolate bar treats at pantries in the near future.
Groceries get a tax credit for all food donated to a pantry, regardless of whether it's safe, so this is a win-win for them. They get it away from the paying customers and get social good credit for donating X pounds of food per year to the poor.
This is all due to food safety deregulation.
It doesn't have to be this way. If you're already calling or emailing your local reps and throwing a fit about Trump's policies, add food safety to your rant. Let them know we remember when a food recall was shocking, and those are the Good Old Days we long for.
And this is a good reminder that your hippy, "leftist" companies are gonna cut corners to increase profit just the same as everyone else. Or they'll buy from people who are now cutting corners.
Individual choices will not protect you from systemic issues. We're all in danger as long as no one is checking this shit except for the companies making it.
They’re huge??????????
That’s……a fucking WOMBAT?!?!
i thought wombats were small. That looks photoshopped!
That’s Patrick! A wombat raised since he was a joey on a wildlife park in Victoria, Aussie, he’s known as both the oldest and biggest wombat we know of!
Most wombats average around 30 to 40 inches, so fat Pat is definitely an outlier. For comparison here’s a more ‘regular’ wombat.

three thousand seven hundred euros. the stupidest size for a bag i've ever seen. "clutch" yeah you better clutch this thing with both arms because it appears to be roughly the size of a human torso. NO straps NO handles ALL your stuff is gonna be rattling around in there. HOWEVER it is shaped like a celery. so i want it 💖
Losing my mind at this poor girl in Argentina who found a kitten on the side of the road and adopted it only to find out it was a freaking jaguarundi. Look at that fucking thing. That's a whole ass kiddy cat
Better yet, she got in contact with a local wildlife reserve! She found him and his sister beside a dead animal on the side of the road, apparently quite thin, and assumed they were just abandoned kittens. The female passed shortly afterward but the male was fine- two months later she brought him to the vet and discovered "hey, thats a whole ass jungle cat." There's a good chance Tito will be back in the wild someday, even! IMHO, two kittens on the side of the road, and one didn't make it more than a couple days? they probably WERE abandoned. just dumb luck they got picked up!
LISTEN to those sweet cheeps. to me I hear that sound and immediately think wild cat, but I think its totally reasonable for a teenager to find a kitten this young and think it was a normal cat. Jaguarundi are also really small!
These are TINY little wildcats!
They have really distinct looking faces and especially ears, but
if a layman ran into one of these things where they werent expecting to see one, I think its pretty reasonable they might assume it was just a weird looking cat
hey you know how sans determines how many times you've fought him based on facial expression? he can tell when you've been dunked on, when you see his first attack for the first time, when you've survived it once, when you've survived it twice... all based on facial expression. each time you die to him and reset, he has absolutely no memory of the past fights, meaning each battle seems like the first one to him.
so how does sans feel when that expression is nothing but boredom? when his first attack is dodged without even flinching? how does he feel when each of his attack patterns are being dodged with near perfect muscle memory—and as the battle keeps going, he knows he's getting more and more tired and that he can't keep fighting for much longer? no matter what he does, none of his attacks work.
there's no shock, no surprise in their face—just utter indifference, and the impatience of someone who's seen this many, many times before. imagine how he feels as the realization slowly dawns on him that this is probably the time they succeed.
All twelve sacred beasts will defend me from economic uncertainty
not to be a killjoy but it's still crazy to me that it's considered mean to be like "maybe you should read / play / watch the source material before creating fanworks and diving into the fandom" bc every time i see somebody going "i havent played disco elysium or know anything about it tbh but uwu here's harry and kim kissing" idk maybe you should engage with it. maybe you should play the anti-capitalist surrealist game where you investigate the murder of a mercenary who led the gang rape of a foreign girl and process that for a bit? and then you can do cutesy mlm or whatever idc. but like at the absolute bare minimum you should understand what the source material involves otherwise we get the phenomenon of people joining a dragon age server and wanting content warnings for like, mage racism. like it's fine to ship and transform the genre into whatever but if you arent comfortable with discussions of the actual source content itself then maybe the fandom isnt for you and a different one is. peace and love.
actual peace and love would involve letting anyone who wants to do things do them, without judgment.
I don't think there is anything unreasonable about the idea that if someone isn't comfortable with actual discussions of the source material they should probably not insert themselves into the fandom. And I struggle to see how this has anything to do with ableism as per your tags.
Well, when you demand a certain amount of effort to be input before you consider someone's creative work valid, that's ableist.
The issue at hand isn't one of the validity of transformative works (and I agree with you there that art doesn't derive meaning or validity from the amount of "effort" poured into it) but of fandom social dynamics and the very simple fact that people involved in a fandom will find people who have not engaged with the source material yet insist on inserting themselves into the fandom annoying. This user articulated it well imo and I'm tired right now:
Unfortunately it's still gatekeeping and still ableist.
I genuinely think it's neither of those things.
i show up to the Planes Enjoyer Convention to talk about how pretty planes are. to my shock i learn planes fly which is awful because i'm scared of heights.
despite me being very passionate, nobody wants to hear about my novel where i imagine planes as types of burrowing creatures. instead people tell me i don't seem very interested in planes or the Planes Enjoyer Convention. this is very mean and judgemental.
eventually i strike up a conversation with someone and they reveal that planes are sometimes used for wars, and they actually like historical "war planes". my heart sinks.
they seem surprised and suggest that i read up about planes. that's just unacceptable. i call them an ableist gatekeeper and protest as i mime being forcibly escorted out of the convention by the security guards i made up in my head.
when your friend says love you at the end of the call
seeing what trans*ndrobros are up to is so awesome. one of the best block sprees you can do
fascinating. do you just live like this
