Dilberito
March 6, 2000 5:36 PM Subscribe
One of the holy grails of the infosaturated overworking computer professionals like myself is a single food capable of giving all the nutrients you'd need for a meal, and be as easy as possible to prepare and eat. Some friends used to call this dream creation "food paste" or "foodstuff capsules" or most simply "fuel." I never thought my Jetsonian dream would ever come true, but now there's the Dilberito, with 100% of 23 vitamins and Jamba Juice's Smoothies. Why do I mention Jamba? Because I saw this poster in the SFO airport last night, and they even go so far as to answer the question "can I get too much Jamba?"
i dunno, the concept is good, but did you look at the pictures of those things? they looked pretty disgusting. you'd think he could afford to have a swanky ad agency make them look beautiful and appetizing. fast food restaurants do it all the time...

I don't know about these Dilberitos, they still seem like too much effort, I want something that is about the size of a vitamin that takes care of eating for four or five hours. Even Power Bars seem like too much chewing when I just want nourishment. But maybe I'm weird. Wait, I know I'm weird, but maybe I'm also weird about food, and lazy.

I saw these a while back, and I was all set to go buy some, but they don't have any meat! How can you have a burrito without any meat?? The Indian version looks like it has meat, but It's really cauliflower!! Gak!
If you want a pill try Twin Labs Diet Fuel. Get the version with Ma Huang and guarana. A snack for breakfast and then two pills every three hours. as a bonus you'll lose a couple pounds a day.
On the down side, the FDA is a little iffy on this product, and you'll be so jittery you'll frighten people.

Hmmm, that Twin Labs thing doesn't seem like quite the ticket, I mean, how filling is Ma Huang extract anyway?
