Here’s a fresh batch of recalls for you! Manufacturers have seemingly forgotten that drawstrings on children’s clothing are bad, and bacterial contamination in Slim-Fast cans could give you far more weight loss than you ever intended.
Cans of ready-to-drink Slim-Fast (all flavors) – bacterial contamination

In before the comments saying that weight loss from bacterial contamination is still better than being a “fattie”.
EXO-Tech Safety Harness – fall hazard
That one needs a “you’re doing it wrong” tag.
I have a friend with UC that may or may not disagree with that statement.
“Haier America blenders – laceration hazard”
For some reason I read that as lactation hazard and was really confused for a second.
I think you really only have to worry about lactation hazards in extremely low quality strip joints.
Wow think of the new sales pitch……. “No more sticking your finger down your throat with the new auto-purge Slim Fast”
I drink the Slim Fast shakes every morning (had 2 this morning cuz I’m a fat ass). WOW! Nice to know what was causing my diarrhea each day! I thought it was the Taco Bell I was having for dinner.
I drink the Target brand “ultra weight loss shake” because I need something in the morning but I’m not hungry, per se. Glad I made that switch >
Yeah I need to get my food in gear and eat more regularly :-/ I don’t think I’ve eaten breakfast in 7 years
I just don’t really want food when I first get up, but my body does.
I hope the target ones- cheaper and inexplicably a few less calories- aren’t made in the same place or anything.
My version of breakfast usually occurs around lunch, and has done since I was a kid. If it’s anything stronger than liquid in the morning, it won’t stay down for long. I’ve always wondered why that is!
Yeah,weightloss or not, it’s a more balanced, convenient breakfast (For $1) than I can usually manage otherwise.
I appreciate that the gas grill has a fire and burn hazard. Whoda thunk it?
weight watchers is behind this I tells ya! ….nah…I went on Weight Watchers because Slim Fast gave me the green apple trots many moons before the recall.
All new formula! Now with extra hyper-biotic bacteria ™ to flush out your colon! No more binge and purge with a nasty aftertaste. Just eat a sensible meal, drink a can of newly formulated ShitFast and WHAMO! 15 minutes later, you’ll be cleaned out and won’t want to eat for the next 8 hours.
Caution: Only for use once per day. Stay hydrated with Regular Slim Fast zero biotica.
I’m really concerned about the ski bindings. If they release on a mogul, I’m in the deep stuff and not snow.
I always assumed drinking Slim-Fast out of the can and then getting the runs was the norm.
the slim fast thing is scary. my girl’s sister has been in and out of the hosipital since june with various infections and she’s a regular consumer of those beverages.
