Yep i remember them aswell and i think we always purchased butterball in the past

And coming up in December...we find out there was never a character known as Santa Claus. Good times.

Eating meat is kind of gross.

Definitely not Mandela Effect or poor memory, someone at Butterball is full of it. I know damn well they used the pop-up timers in their birds, because Butterball was the only brand my brother & his wife, who traditionally hosted Thanksgiving every year until everyone moved away, would use -- they had/have a preference, and never used any other brand. I helped prep the damn things every year, my sister-in-law always removed it and used her own meat thermometer to check internal temperature because, and I quote, "Make sure there's no feather remnants in the skin, and take out that damn timer, Butterball's timer is sucky." We all know what the packaging looked like, it wasn't mistaking one brand for another.

I wonder if "Butterball" was a franchised branding in that turkey farms across the country were under license to package as Butterball and some added these gimmicky timers to the birds.

I remember seeing them

pretty sure the last store bought turkey i bought was a butterball AND had the popup in it. and that was only perhaps 2 years ago,

Funny you mention 2 years because Christmas 2019 was the first time I saw a Butterball without the timer so that would narrow the timeline shift to somewhere within the last 2 years.

But the lady at Butterball said "never, never, never". Perhaps she doth protest too much.

Have you tried chewing with your mouth closed?

Why dat galll-danged Mandellla thingy gotsta be messin wit our holllydaze traditiumns ?

Wasn't there a little dinosaur thingie inside the belly of the turkey, that you put on a bed of ice, then he was there to test the Stouffer's Stove-Top Stuffing, to see when it was done. When ready : little dino would pull a strong nylon string, that would release the pop-up thingy, no ?

Is it possible that all of the folks commenting in this thread, that the pop-up thingy never worked : didn't read the instructions, and forgot to put the cute little dino on ice, so he died, then they just mixed him into their Stouffer's Stove-Top Stuffing, and ate him ?

Or is dat Nelllsnum Manelller reincarnating again ?
Or is it dat danged Mandellla-Effect thingie, again ?

Before ending : would just like to say how blessed we are, express my warm feelings, to our whatever creator/s/ish, for causing the evolution of the turkey, to come to the point where they are born with little cooking-timers ingrown in them.
How could anyone doubt intelligent-design ?

Let's raise a holiday toast, to the wonderous breed, of Pop-Up-Timer-Turkeys !!!

And just as the flowers and the bees, need each-other : a toast to the cute little dinos, that some of us let survive from the holllydaze ovens, to raise them as part of our families !!!

Most definitely protesting too much, and hoping no one remembers clearly. Boy, did that backfire on her.

Whatever the hell you're smoking, share it.

If some lab, somewhere, is juggling realities, why did they pick this horrible, utterly stupid one?

I mean, sure, reality has always been stupid... heck, I'm here so there's some proof of idiocy, but if it was this or some alien invasion or the sun going nova, I'm open to returning to the smarter place and taking my chances.

Remember when the A guy said the secret space dudes stuck a bunch of their "subjects" into virtual realities for safe keeping but they somehow realized something was wrong? Maybe the breakaway futureworlders thought they improved their cages and we're on ice somewhere with a really sick, sadistic coder?

I know how it sounds and am not really serious ... but is it crazier than the fabric of reality suddenly changing in mundane, consumer and c list celebrity oriented ways?

Oh, and yeah, I remember the pop up thingie on BB turkeys... like a white dog's red weenie, as my friend when I was 8 used to say.

Your not alone, I remember Butterball always had the little pop up timers in them. Got to totally agree with rickeymouse, we switched to Jenny-O turkeys a few years ago and they are great.

Honestly, I can't recall BB turkeys ever having one of those pop-up timers. I remember lots of turkeys with them, but not BB's.

I think part of the confusion may be, many people identify BB with a "turkey", but when they get to the store they see BB's are more expensive and opt for something else which is much cheaper. In other words, they go into the store thinking BB turkey, but when they actually get one they wind up with something else. Hence the imagined Mandela effect.

On a side note...if you want a turkey which is (over) cooked for 2 hours longer than it should be, and meat you have to cut with a chisel then follow that pop-up timer! I mean, just think about it...you absolutely know that thing isn't going to pop up until there's absolutely zero doubt that thing is cooked to the point of bursting into flames...and, as JAG posits, is "as dry as Grandma's..." well, you get the idea.

Take them to the beaches, traditionally.

Well, that's just plain crazy.
The simplest explanation (which is usually the correct one) is that you and I existed in different timelines until recently...when I was inexplicably catapulted into this odd, timerless Butterball timeline. You silly goose.

"Take them to the beaches"...well, I've never heard it called that before. Must be a new euphemism I'm not familiar with.

i remember the pop up thing on the turkeys.
i don't remember the brand or brands that had the pop up installed.

I remember the pop up things, I always thought the grocery chain would “add” them to the turkeys to help sell them. Like coupons with the pop up thingy attached.

It's entirely possible. I might have grown up on another planet even.

I come from a planet called "Earth". This planet is nothing like Earth. I think I must have been transported here within the last 2-3 years. On my home planet they used to have this show called "The Twilight Zone" and this planet is a lot like that show!

This may actually be a great clue to the experience being a mutually shared simulation.

Now, that is a ridiculous notion. And if you can change just little things in the simalcra why not do small stuff like a candy bar or some famous person’s name, eh, Mother Theresa?

The reason is to keep the simulation from being accepted as “real”. And the how is probably as weird since I think it kind of like the hollow deck on Star Trek!! (Could not help myself!)

It is a light projection controlled by computers. The ME stuff is a rewrite of the projected past to try to wake us up in the simulation!!

At least that is my wrong guess!! (This is TEOT’s cosmology where a group of aliens found some tech from an ancient race of aliens that had a recorded history of how they made it through the tough times. The simulation is a replay of their history and we are stuck in believing it is real).

Ah, I have embraced being totally wrong!!
