Sciatica: revenge-style opening hooks (MarioBot)

29 Oct 2026. Hooks only, in the sufferer's own voice. Round 4: the mocked thing is now the Italian three-vitamin morning ritual (hooks 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10); 4, 7, 11 to 15 are product agnostic and unchanged. Approved 3 to 15; 1 and 2 rejected. Sweet potato versions in the Archive at the bottom. Press Edit to change a hook; Notes and Approve / Reject work without it. Submit sends everything to Claude.

The style

Revenge ad (Zhihao Huang swipes): someone close laughed at or dismissed what the speaker started doing, a turning point they could see, then the reversal in the mocker's own words or action.
