Living in the USA in 2025 is like that movie Cabin in the Woods. Basically every conceivable way for the country to end is happening simultaneously, all at once, and even then nobody bet on the radioactive shrimp, not even the maintenance crew. Granted, the reason they didn't bet on the shrimp is because they all got furloughed by DOGE back in February.

Future canoe will take his chances. Is it green like the chicken?
-
He has been eating radioactive chicken for years so he is probably immunized
-
-
They're trying to keep all the shrimp powers to themselves
-
Right? Imagine punching so fast that you create a sonic boom.
They right to be worried
-
-
Probably should warn not to eat any animals too. It's the leading cause of death in the US..
-
Paging future_canoe for a new challenge

RadioactiveSpicy shrimp -
But it says "Great Value" on the package. Which is it?
-
they do have a great value, but in röntgens
-
-
Has anyone an idea where this contamination comes from? With a half-life of Cs-137 of 30 years, the pretty mild dosage and no knowledge of how long those shrimp were on ice, there are a lot of possible sources without info about the amount of Barium contained or am i wrong?
-
The shorter the half-life, the more radiation the element is emitting. 30 years is quite short.
-
I can't find anything, but Cs-137 is used in food irradiation.
-
For those wondering or panicking because they never heard of this, food irradiation is normal and common and a good thing, it's not typically ionizing radiation that turns something radioactive, it's more like how microwaves work but the non-heating kind. This was some kind of really rare fuckup.

RFK Jr: no guys it’s cool, it’ll make you healthy. It’ll replace vaccines. It’s all natural.
-
I have seasoned these shrimp personally. They are very high in radiation, just like the healthy sun that bring us all life.

AS THE LEGENDS FORETOLD, THE AGE OF SHRIMP-MAN IS NIGH.
WITH THE INTELLIGENCE AND GENERAL APPEARANCE OF A MAN, AND THE COLOUR AND EXOSKELETON OF A SHRIMP, NO EVIL IN THIS WORLD IS KMGHTY ENOUGH TO STOP SHRIMP MAN.
-
Music...
Shrimp man!
Shrimp man.Shrimp maaaan!
-
-
Fuck you, I want shrimp powers
-
especially if it's this supershrimp, you know, the one with 18 eyes ? strikes its claws at 20% the speed of light ? creating a vacuum fronted by a blinding plasma bubble, turning everything in its vicinity into shrimp-flavoured ash ?? ring a bell ??
-
Oh no! We're trapped in this submarine! Who could possibly defend us???!!!
Me! El Shrimp Man!....Radio active!

Please God let them add radioactive shrimp to the next Fallout game.
-
Already have two of them in FO4. Mirelurk hunters and Fogcrawlers.
-
I could swear I'd run across some packaged prawns in game, but i may be hallucinating that. Weird though, as I can even visualize the packaging. I did find this when searching though from a fallout game that was cancelled:
-
Well the Mirelurks already exist
-
-
The FDA said it is working with distributors and retailers that received the shrimp from BMS Foods "to recommend that firms conduct a recall," according to the press release.
If the FDA is confident enough to warn us about it, why aren't they forcing a recall?
-
Says the EPA limit is 1200Bq/kg, and the shrimp are at 68Bq/kg, so its nowhere near the limit. The way I see it I can eat 17.6kg or 38.8lbs of that shrimp before it hits that limit, and I know those limits are conservative for safety reasons, so I can exceed that without too much concern.
Based on some other limits from the NRC and some very rough math I would be willing to eat up to 98000 pounds of that per year. I'll play it safe and take about 2000 pounds of free shrimp please.
-
Has it occurred to you that some people may like eating radioactive shrimp? They should be free to do so!
-
Honestly, I'm upset at these Big Government Nanny State tactics, trying to scare me into not eating the radioactive shrimp which I've heard are actually healthier than regular shrimp.
Can we get DOGE to investigate these guys? Who is bankrolling them to spread misinformation?
-
Radioactive shrimp cured my autism. How dare the LIBERALs try to take away our Freedom Foods! Give me seafood sovereignty or give me death!
-
I fully support any people who want to eat radioactive shrimp to be allowed to eat radioactive shrimp
-
Mmm... Spongy jaw...
-
-
That would require taking responsibility.
-
-
This wasn't on my vegan bingo sheet.
-
The FDA still exists?
-
For now
-
-

"Radioactive shrimp from Walmart" sounds like good sci-fi.
Joking aside, Walmart is a prolific human rights abuser. People in not only USA, but Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, and China have been reported to have intensive labor exploitation and abuse.
Forced labor, wage theft, sexual harassment, and sweatshop conditions with extremely low pay and long hours are among reports. Also, forced prison labor in Southeast Asia linked to their suppliers, allegations involving Uyghur forced labor in China, ... just .. ugh.
-
Well, you can’t make obscenely large profits with ever-increasing rates of increase without those things
-
-
Why couldn't they just put the lot codes in numerical order!?
-
Yes, only eat the shrimp loaded with agricultural runoff and microplastics
-
Don't forget the antibiotics.
-
As god intended
-
-
Here I was thinking Fission Blast Shrimp was just the branding!
I thought I was just enjoying it, but now the warm sensation in my stomach makes more sense. That and the sudden tail I started growing...
-
-
Irradiation does NOT make an object radioactive itself!
-
-
Hear that, MAGAs? Woke Walmart says you can eat the shrimp you just bought.
-
Is this contamination or is Cs-137 used in shrimp farming in some other context? Other than this final flavor preparation, I mean.
-
How did you get your superpowers?
I bought shrimp at Walmart.
-
The radioactivity is probably the healthiest ingredient in any “fresh” seafood you can buy at Walmart
-
Abundance of crime and slavery in the shrimp food chain still OK, apparently. (It's really depressing :/)
-
What super power do we get?
-
Turn into prawn man?
-
My son saw this with me and started giggling harder than I was.
-
Yes, but with cancer
-
Hello, little guy. It's the sweetie man coming. Here's a sweetie for you, okay?
-
-
The power of Cancer
-
-
-
Can FDA do something with Walmart or the US is this fixed on individual responsibility?
-
If you’re buying shrimp at Walmart, you kinda deserve what’s coming to you.
-
Nobody deserves tainted food.
-
Nobody
I mean... I could name a few...
-
You’re right, I do honestly agree with you.
Perhaps better said would be if you’re buying shrimp from Walmart, don’t be surprised at what happens.
I 100% mean this as an indictment of Walmart.
-
-
Walmart should be charged for poisoning the citizens
-
there's a lot of shit that happens to that food that employees aren't paid enough to care about.
seriously, be way more discriminating about fish
-
No question there.

-
-
Walmart is a grocery store
