Sophie & Jamie Laing #2 Went to rehab for the coke, after banging that Harvey bloke

The newest pod ep (has Jamieā€™s fertility improved) is really frustrating, the expert keeps trying to lay out his results and is speaking in really simple plain English and Jamie is so giddy interrupting her with stupid quips and questions, and harping on about the unimportant things. She keeps having to say ā€˜to circle back to the resultsā€™ ā€˜can we just bring it back to the resultsā€™ and awkwardly laughing to try get him to stop talking. I ended up just skipping through.
 
The worst was young girls (15 year old me included) wanting to BE a candy kitten, it was like the Kings Road equivalent of being a playboy bunny šŸ˜…
Yessss! that put me off trying them for ages, it just seemed so dated - even at the time - and it was so clearly an excuse to meet lots of scantily clad younger girls that were paid to fawn over him, i remember thinking it was so embarrassing. I do really like the fizzy / sour sweets and my parents always get me a pack for stockings/easter and birthdays which I devour all to myself

I think he deserves a lot of credit for Candy Kittens. He brought vegan sweets to the market before the big companies. Since then Rowntrees for example made fruit pastiles vegan.


He has a business partner who seems to do most of the actual work behind the scenes. Jamie had the capital, the connections and the platform from mic. To make it a success or potentially make it a success. I'm glad they're sweeties out there now that aren't made from boiled bones and connective tissues don't get me wrong, but Jamie wouldn't have been that concerned if his business partner hadn't thought it was the right way to go.
 
This is a wild take
Sadly it's not that far fetched.

yes but he has always pushed that they arenā€™t for children, and the media will try and twist it that way
 
MK Ultra = Sex Kitten
There is a lot out there for those who are interested. This isn't a conspiracy, it's sadly in our faces, for those who want the truth. It's not coincidental so many of these celebrities have absolute break downs (sometimes in public).
I'm happy to give more proof for anyone that thinks I'm reaching.
It's a very dark world we live in.

Is it not accessible to kids? It's not like it's out of their reach. Think about what's not meant for kids, but it's still in a sense pushed in their direction. A lot of people watched or watch MIC and are under 18 years of age. They are quite impressionable. They like Jamie & would buy his candy. I don't think an id is required to buy Candy Kittens.
 
I donā€™t think candy kittens target audience is children, itā€™s more of a luxury sweet and Iā€™m 34 and can barely afford it.
I also donā€™t see the harm of advertising a Netflix show on there if the parents have set up restricted access and can make their own decision if their children watch it.
Just because children have access to something, doesnā€™t mean itā€™s FOR children.

What's the price point? Never bothered to check. The way I see it, you've got a wide range of ages watching MIC. Many of whom are under age & have the means to buy his product. Also many people who are parents aren't protecting their kids, so who knows what they have access to.
 
Remember when he first mentioned Candy Kittens on the show and thinking "this is just another bullshit!t pretend storyline that'll be forgotten by next week's episode". The one and only time I'll eat my words about MiCšŸ˜‚

i remember him being in his ā€œofficeā€ and thinking ā€œnah, this canā€™t be an actual thingā€ šŸ¤£

i absolutely love the fizzy watermelon ones but they are pricey (which makes the marketing towards kids argument make no sense to me. theyā€™re clearly intended to be a more luxury sweet. just because they happen to be sweets doesnā€™t mean all their choices should be child friendly).

Correct, yet they're still influenced nonetheless.
 
I bought the sex education candy kittens in the company shop for 85p a packet. At that price I just bulk bought them without looking at the packaging closely as I just thought they were sweets. Merrily gave them to my kids then realised the shape of some of them!! I do police what they watch etc but didnā€™t consider I had to think about sweets too

Buying the sweets doesnā€™t mean you have access to watching the programme, that lies with the parents. Itā€™s like music for years has had artists in their 20s making explicit music, theyā€™re making it because that is in their vocabulary and theyā€™re singing about things that relate to their age group. If a 6 year old listens to that then thatā€™s down to the parents, itā€™s not other adults responsibility to censor everything they do for other peopleā€™s children

They were heavily reduced then as their normal price point is over Ā£2. My point still stands though. Having a tv programme advertised on sweets does not give the child access to watch it. Their Netflix should have restrictions that limit that.

Iā€™ve never watched sex education and have eaten candy kittens

I don't watch SE either. Try telling a kid or teen they can't have candy because it's not meant for them. If it's not meant for kids, remove it from the isles where kids go (to get sweets). Don't have it at the check out either.

But again, the sweets donā€™t give the child access to watch the show? Netflix has child restrictions the parents should use to filter out the shows that arenā€™t suitable
