Fіrst of all, you do not need to be fіrst to be fіrst if at fіrst you do not succeed for you can fіrst try again if you are not fіrst. I bid you a fіrst day.
I’ve been locked in the asylum. Nice to step out after so long for some fresh air. Sorry one of our inmates flung too much poo around here yesterday. He’s back on his meds for now. (He’s actually a pretty nice guy, just goes a little nuts sometimes.)
Seriously, ditto. I’d been meaning to swing back to see if you were still around. You didn’t disappoint. I don’t know how you keep it up. But I’m glad you do.
“I’ve always had a problem with my bowels, but not anymore and have more energy”
“I tried Holy Crap and, holy crap!!!! I had it on my oatmeal in the morning and was sure glad that I was at home for the day…I had a BM that was refreshing and left me empty but feeling great!!!”
1. It’s not a Fail, the choice was completely deliberate, they knew exactly what they were implying.
2. The name is a pun, due to the bowel-health benefits, but also because people have a certain expectation of how “health food” is going to taste. But when people taste this stuff, they say “Holy crap! That’s really good!” True story, that’s what happened when they were doing initial market demonstrations.
3. The ‘Dragon’s Blend’ is because of their success on the TV show Dragon’s Den, which is the Canadian equivalent of Shark Tank. As you might expect, the dragons are notoriously stingy with their praise and their funds, but they were falling all over this stuff. They all loved the taste and were fighting to be the investor. It’s a bit of a DD ‘legend’, the Holy Crap episode, in fact.
4. One bag is kind of expensive, but then you have to realize that a single serving is only like 2 tablespoons. You generally will add it to oatmeal or yogurt rather than eat it plain. And even if you just have it with a little water or milk, the chia seeds absorb liquid and swell up considerably. So a little bag goes a long way, making the cost more realistic. Also, the contents are 100% real food, unlike most breakfast cereals. So you might spend a lot less for a whole box of froot loops, but have to eat more $$’s worth in order to get as much nutrition!
5. It’s definitely not photoshopped… lol… nor is it comic sans…
For reference: Dragons Den was first deputed in Oct 3/2006 . Americans again stole an idea and ran with it called Shark Tank January 9/2009. Based on the UK version.

*shakes hand
*apologizes for sweat
*waits patiently for the great AGATT
*Wipes hand off on tweed jacket*
Would you like a towel?
Hey dRattman and Jibble! It’s great to see you!
Did you hear about the earthquake?
You mean the one that happened 200,000,000 microseconds again or the one thats going to happen tomorrow?
Wait-what about tomorrow??
..East Coast or West?..weird..
Virginia. Felt along the entire East Coast.
Briefly… so did it cause any great damage?
Long time no see, AGATT! You are a machine. Correction: You are a “great” machine.
Sorry for bein’ rude, but was AllGreat originally on FAILbook?
No, I was originally on Failblog. Mostly lurked. Then migrated over to the asylum.
It’s great to see you, Jibble! Where you been, bro? Machine? Me? Naaaaaaaahhh…
@ dRattman: FAILbook? Me? Naaaaaaahhh…
I’ve been locked in the asylum. Nice to step out after so long for some fresh air. Sorry one of our inmates flung too much poo around here yesterday. He’s back on his meds for now. (He’s actually a pretty nice guy, just goes a little nuts sometimes.)
Jibble! oh Jibble! “Lock down” is in ten minutes!!!
Catch me if you can!… uh… Oh, oops. Never mind, I’m coming.
*backs up forklift*
need a ride?
Alright bro… stop by often – it’s always great to see you!
Seriously, ditto. I’d been meaning to swing back to see if you were still around. You didn’t disappoint. I don’t know how you keep it up. But I’m glad you do.
Thanks, bro. It’s always great to get words of encouragement!
..Second!..oh wait..
Mmmm… Dragons’ Blend. It must be good.
HOLY CRAP!
it must be some kind of raisin bran.
..dates & prunes included..
best name ever for cereal…Rebecca Black.
it’s filled with Gold Filigree and Human bits… mmm… human bits!
..what? It says “Dragons’ Blend” thus it’s made for Dragons!
I wish I knew what that sign said.
it says “Fart Crops are mine, caffeine free”. I was with the guy when he took this pic.
If you’ve ever seen DW foom someone, ‘Holy Crap’ would be the appropriate sentiment.
* nods emphatically*
DW? Like Arthur’s little sister?
No, DragonWriter.
Dragonwriter is a failpeep from times past, others can give you more info.
She still pops in very occasionally. She is witty and fun. I miss her.
I don’t think I’ve met her. Is she the other one with the really long name?
Nope. She’s the one with the rapier wit and the really long hair. Messing with her was always a bad idea.
Oooooh.
*Writes note about practicing fencing in spare time*
She’s REALLY smart. She teaches Shakepseare. She can insult a troll, and they don’t really know what happened.
*Writes several notes*
*Sticks them on wall*
*Doesn’t say who’s*
Gah! Sorry, stupid me/iPad II.
ohhh finally, a challenge! I must keep an eye open for this DW
Sounds like a real beast. She hasn’t been on for sometime? Shame, I’d like to meet her. She’ll sort out all the idiots on this site.
Sugar, she’d roast you in less than two seconds.
Why me? What exactly do I do wrong? Please, enlighten me.
I have clicked your link, and left a comment on the post about trolls. its been in moderation for a couple days now, and I didnt say f!rst or anything
indeed I did. used the picture and everything. there can be no doubt that its me
or because I used this name on the post about dealing with trolls.
Hmmm … I think I’d like to meet her. Why’d she stop coming around?
The mountain was too large.
. . . and on that once again failed reference, I’m off!
I’m sorry. You’re just too old for me to get your references.
…Often with no warning whatsoever.
..isn’t Arthurs lil’ sis Morgan?..
How do you know about DW?
It’s Dragon’s Blend!!!!!
She has a blend?
Does now…
They should.
*privilege*?
Pope-m’s weren’t very successful until the name was changed.
Holy Crap is what you say when you read the price-tag
I’ve had this, it’s actually OK, but crazy expensive on the shelf.
Organics are.
..was it worth the, uh, outcome?..
Yes! I was hoping someone would point this out. It’s a testament to the ingenuity of Canadian entrepreneurs.
..wondering what kind of testament it really is..?..
somebody hasn’t watched enough photoshop tutorials yet …
holy crap!
I found these reviews online:
“I’ve always had a problem with my bowels, but not anymore and have more energy”
“I tried Holy Crap and, holy crap!!!! I had it on my oatmeal in the morning and was sure glad that I was at home for the day…I had a BM that was refreshing and left me empty but feeling great!!!”
I think it’s a double fail… isn’t it written in Comic Sans?
Dragons Blend? does that make it holy dragon crap?
That is *not* Comic Sans.

Too long it is; read I did not.
typing long comments is a good way to burn calories, no?
Thanks Heather for your insight. I have seen DD a few times and those people are hard. So if it got a praise, I will look it up on Youtube.

..it’s nice to be unaccountable for Hollywood stuff..
Pretty sure this is a win
Inb4 Strong Bad jokes.
I concur — I’ve had the stuff (bought some while up in Vancouver). It was very tasty.
And the name is catchy — not accidental at all.
God’s favorite cereals.
I think this is a win, not a fail.
*Sigh* the failscope needs to be adjusted. Funny package still
Oh is contrivance now fail? Drag…
How is this a fail? Sounds awesome!
Enjoy every morning with a bowl full of holy crap’s dragon blend.
i don’t care what you say this is pure win right here
