“Pleasure is everything
Give in to happiness
Reject propriety; embrace variety
Prudence is sooo 1658
Life is fleeting; clasp it hard with both hands
Seek delight
Trust your impulses
Ordinary is pointless
Break free"
This was the message printed on the packet of a packet of Gu (with an umlaut - can't be asked to find out how to do umlauts) which we devoured last night with Gusto. The Gusto wasn't that bad either.
If you feel inclined to live your life by a credo invented by a 22 year old thrusting advertising copywriter and are not too bothered by 284 kcal per pot (20gm fat) then I implore you to get stuck in. I know I did.
It's a Desiderata for the 21st Century.

am I first here?
it must be the Gü
tee hee
Alright you can do flipping umlauts. Bastard.
Does it contain sügar?
Does it give any clue why they chose 1658? I know it's the year Cromwell died, with Puritan overtones therefore, but it wasn't otherwise an especially notable year, was it?
Dave: I can cut and paste umlauts But not on this iPad. They chose 1658 because it was nearly 5 o'clock knocking off time.
I didn't cut and paste them. I used alt 0252.
Guuuorgeous stuff, isn't it? And well named Goo. Haven't had any lately. Probably bad for us.
Gü (umlaut, dieresis or trémat?) for it, I say.
Never heard of this product. Do they do it in strawberry as well?
Get stuck into life or Gu?
This is an umlat free zone also. I gave them up for Lent.
Gü? tis new, too! xoxoxo
Not new. Been around for five or six years I think. Chocolate in small tubs, with the consistency of smooth thick mud. High chocolate content though, I'd guess. As I said, very gooey.
Mike & Ann: I think the umlaut makes the vowel very short as in GEW but it then sounds even sillier.
Christopher: I think they only do it in sticky.
Pat: Get rid of the lauts that what I say. You're then left with "um".
Sav: Ok showoff. The pots are miniscule by the way.
M&A: Yes it lasts just a few seconds once the lid removed.
It's a püdding init?
Ref umlauts. I'm happy and proud to say that this machine doesn't do foreign accents. Nor do I.
Macy: that's what I think when I see Alex Hammond
M&A: yes, I also have a grave and acute aversion to accents
An umlaut is extremely easy on an iPad. Hold down the letter you are typing for a second and all the alternatives show up, then slide your finger to the one you want.
Anyone know how to spell Mötörhëäd?
Ref use of accents. I too have always been very cautious and circumflex in my use of them.
Tim: Lemmie has umlauts on his face.
M&A: Trés Bonne mon ami.
Hi, Rog! Long time!
Hoya Jonny Boy! Güd to see you!
My umlauts are very painful! Any cures?
