Wait now...fast food actuallynot looking anywhere near as good as it does in ads?

I go a local store with two Coke Freestyle machines in the front probably 2 to 3 times a week. I don’t recall ever seeing both of them working at one time. My main complaints about getting rid of the self service drinks is getting the right amount of ice in the cup (Always too much when they do it) and not being able…

Hertz is the Wells Fargo of rental. They keep doing really shitty things, get busted for doing them, and then do some more shitty things.

I’m a night owl and I’ve spent a fair amount of time at Waffle House, Denny’s, etc, and have seen some very entertaining fights over the years. My dog had to go to the emergency vet one night after he was neutered, he didn’t handle pain well at all, and needed a pain shot. I stopped at WH on the way home for breakfast…

I think you got it right with Exorcist II being number one. I had the best time at the movies ever when I saw it opening day. There was a fair number of people there, maybe it was half full. It was obvious, even after just a few minutes of it, that it was a collossal turd. People began making comments like it was a…

Another dud engine was the non-turboed Mitsubishi diesel they put into Dodge trucks back about 1978. A friend of mine bought one of them, I have no idea what he was thinking or drinking, but with a whopping 105 HP/163 torque, it was beyond slow. I had driven a Slant Six D150 once and I thought it was “peak slow”. I…

This bridge, 120 or so years young, has been “On the list” for replacement for at least 20 years. It’s been behaving itself lately, but it was getting stuck open or almost closed many times in the past. This is the main line between NYC and Chicago, and a lot of trains go over it daily. Sometimes I wonder if NS has…

2 or 3? Wow, you’re in paradise! Most of the stores around here have ONE manned station, except during the seemingly nonsensical “rush hour” times that have no real basis in reality. The Kroger by me has 2 checkers until 7pm, but then it goes to one, or sometimes none, all there is, is self checkouts. And the place is…

I pretty much hate self checkouts, but when they have a half dozen carts full of stuff lined up behind the one single open check out line (Kroger, most stores around here), you have to use the self checkout, unless you need to kill 20 minutes waiting. One thing really annoys me is a lot of stores have the damn beep…

My ‘18 Scat Pack just turned 5 years old and was paid off in May. It has had zero issues other than some weird clock jumping back and forth when daylight savings time comes and goes. It goes 2 hours the wrong way. Amusing. But the car doesn’t rattle, nothing is falling apart, and I love the thing like no other car…

They make it right out in the open at every Kroger I’ve ever been to. A couple of friends of mine swear it’s better than most of the local restaurant Sushi. I’m not a fan of it at all, BTW, no matter where it comes from. 

If they would go into their recipie vault, and bring back the old Geno’s egg rolls, they would make an old man very happy.

I guess nobody remembers before they were Totino’s, they were Geno’s, and they had egg rolls too. They were the best of the “small” egg rolls by far, IMHO, and I was really sad to see them go away, when the awful LaChoy and Chun King ones stayed around forever.

I never had an Uncrustable until about 2 months ago. Wow, it was more disappointing than I ever expected, and I thought it would be a huge disappointment. I will admit, I’m not the biggest fan of PB&J sandwiches anyway, I like mine J free. I’m pretty positive that a lot of my weigh issues stem from my very picky…

My first HP inkjet was OK, but it died during a thunderstorm, and the one that replaced it was garbage. Smeary print, the whole overpriced and underfilled cartridge deal pissed me off, along with the clone cart and refill issues, so I went to a mono Samsung laser. It was $20 after rebate. I never put a Samsung branded…

I don’t get anything like a vomit taste from a Hershey’s Milk Choc. bar, I get a faint taste of some awful cough syrup I took when I was a kid. I have to say, IMHO, Toblerone is the worst of this bunch, with Hershey’s close in #9, and I agree totally with Lindt as the #1 of this group. Any of the top bunch are OK with…

I had a couple of them and, I don’t know why, but they were both clowns. I never saw one as a kid that wasn’t a clown. I had the second one because my dog ate the bottom of it and let the sand out. In my bedroom. 

About 1985 or ‘86, my mother and I were going to SC to visit my sister, and I don’t remember the exact spot, but a truck carrying barrels of Twizzler red flavoring had dumped it’s load. They had a wrecker, some cleanup crew people and State Troopers who were trying to get people to drive around the spilled stuff,…

Almost all of us do something really stupid when we are young. I was nearly shot by the Vegas cops in early ‘76. I was confused as to why they were both screaming at me and I reached into my pocket for my car keys. Dumb dumb dumb. They thought I matched the description of some guy robbing tourists. I wasn’t even…

I had an “Original Runza” years ago, and I liked it a lot. I can’t recall thinking it was “bland”, but I’m from Ohio, so? Seriously, I liked it, and I’m pretty picky. I didn’t see the point of the cabbage though, but I had no problems with it.
