The only mention of what the flavour was, was this:

In research published in Nature Communications, USC Dornsife neuroscientist Emily Liman and her team found that the tongue responds to ammonium chloride through the same protein receptor that signals sour taste.

"If you live in a Scandinavian country, you will be familiar with and may like this taste," says Liman, professor of biological sciences. In some northern European countries, salt licorice has been a popular candy at least since the early 20th century. The treat counts among its ingredients salmiak salt, or ammonium chloride.

So is this 'mediciney' flavour, then? (black licorish, ouzo, root beer, those weird candies they sell at ikea...)

Sounds like the plot to a captain planet episode.

(Not to downplay how insidious and crappy this is)

Well, I liked it. Sorry you didnt enjoy it.

Judging by the discussion I dont think people watched the video. I can see how you might think 'neither left nor right" is referring to moderates or centrists. But it isnt about that. (So clearly a poorly chosen title, then).

The video is about how the far right and corporate interests uses the messaging of being apolitical, or an outsider to push a right wing agenda. It’s not an attack on moderates or centrists.

Who said you have to align with a certain set of beliefs to oppose the far right? (Beyond thinking nationalist, xenophobic views are shitty) All kinds of varying political views hate nazis. Anti-facsism is a very large tent.

My kid has this problem too. So many games interrupt him mid level to force ads, its ridiculous.

But we've found a few games that arent total popup nightmares (that he enjoys):

-Two Dots, a beautiful puzzle game, very kid friendly

-Bad Piggies - a spin off of angry birds, Physics based building/puzzle game, very cartoony and fun gameplay. My kid loves this game, probably his favourite (its older so the ads arent too obnoxious. You can pay to disable them, also)

-Stumble Guys - massive multiplayer platformer like fallguys, loves this one (there are ads but you can pay to disable for 4.99)

We have the ios equivalent to play pass and it helped a lot, too.

We do need to be careful, yes. But this isnt a case of mislabelling views just because they disagree with their politics. Its important to call out far right nationalist parties for what they are.

As is discussed in the video, Omega_Haxor wasnt making a baseless attack on a belief they disagreed with. Authoritarian politicians do have a history of using this dogwhistle messaging.

You would never know this looking at corporate news.

The video is about how the far right and corporate interests dismiss both the left and right, and uses the idea of being an outsider to push a right wing agenda. It's not an attack on moderates.

This is good, next step build public housing.

The marketplace has grown a lot, so it might be harder to stand out. But indie studios tend to operate in a far more sustainable way.

As long as there is a demand for games that are complete, affordable and GOOD... the indie game market will stay healthy.
