Your brain on gender identity ideology. Yep, this time I'm apparently right wing because *checks notes* I joked about a new flavour of Jaffa Cakes. pic.twitter.com/ITIjGRMIuI
Your post got flagged because the automated filter detected your use of the prefix “cis.” Twitter now recognizes “cis” as a slur due to Musk’s discomfort with the existence of trans people. You are living in the world that you want to live in, but you’re not intelligent enough to enjoy it!
Also, of course, the issue is not the existence of people who call themselves trans, it’s the ideology that has sprung up about magical changeable sex. I’m sure you’re intelligent enough to grasp the difference.
Maybe Twitter is just set to flag messages with caps over a certain threshold?
Agreed on change is bad, and everyone knows that. It’s a statement I agree with about 90% of the time. Humans are very resistant to change. Can’t comment on this specific flavor of Jaffa Cakes though…
Is cola-bottle flavor the same as lemon-lime bottle flavor? Or beer bottle flavor? I know cola, lemon-lime, and beer are different flavors, but the glass all tastes the same to me.
The coke jaffas are such that knowing what they are meant to be you can kind of tell, but if you didn’t know you probably wouldn’t guess. I found some at work and had a few:)
maddog, #8, from your spelling of ‘flavor’ I assume you’re not British and probably not familiar with the jelly sweets called Cola Bottles. Think Gummy Bears, but bottle-shaped and tasting vaguely of cola. So the Jaffa Cake taste a bit like a sweet that taste a bit like cola. No glass or plastic is harmed in the making of these cakes..
AoS, we used to have something similar in the US – I haven’t seen it in years. Of course, it wasn’t quite the same, because doing anything exactly the same as something with the same name anywhere else in the world would be unacceptable. These were wax bottles; you bit the top off and sucked out a tiny bit of something that sort of was supposed to taste like Coke.

How do you know? Musk objects to the word “cis” but it doesn’t follow that any and all use of it is flagged.
Yeah no, not even slightly true. A quick search shows that “cis” is used freely.

@Ophelia
Nice use of sarcasm there–and no fear of censorship!
(BTW I can see your comment on X, but can’t respond.)
How dare I sark about idenniny, idenniny is sacred, I horrify myself.

I find glass to be a bit bland. Luckily cola comes in plastic bottles now. So piquant!

Bugger! Misses the final ‘s’ off ‘tastes’ – twice.

Sounds absolutely…erm…no, I don’t have the words.
Nik-L-Nips; you mostly found them in gas stations next to Circus Peanuts and peach rings. Definitely fascinating when I was a child.
We do actually have cola bottle gummies in the US; Haribo makes them
