These boxes usually suck, but a long time ago, my roommate ended up with a hot sauce sampler box filled with legit sauces. I don’t remember all of the sauces it contained, but Dave’s Insanity was one of them. 

Just last week, I saw a Budweiser hot sauce gift pack that Grocery Outlet was selling for under $10. At that price, I thought about getting it but then I remembered the Christmas where one of my stocking stuffers was a four pack of hot sauce. While the sauces weren’t horrible, they ended up being so far down on my hot…

Everyone should check out the Heatonist website where they can buy all natural sauces featured on Hot Ones: http://www.heatonist.com

I’ve always found the idea of adults buying each other cheap, throwaway gifts for Christmas or birthdays laughable. I’m an adult. If I want something, I buy it. There is nothing that costs $25 at Ross or Marshalls that I want. If I’m on your gift list, just cross off my name and call it done. I’ll do the same for you.…

“PC Load letter?”  The Fuck does that mean?

Good question. Taylor and McDs have been joined at the hip from the beginning. The more conspiracy minded note that McDs requires that only this particular model of the machine is allowed to be used and the Taylor makes a huge amount of money in making “authorized” repairs. The mystery then is, why does McDs feel that…

The Taylor company is accused of performing what is loosely called “industrial espionage to get their hands on the Kytch controllers in order to make copies. The complaint by Kytch is that Taylor may have induced a third party to break an NDA and turn over a controller to Taylor, breaking a contract. Not saying it is,…

Nope. You’ll be the guy in charge of the machine that never breaks. Since it never breaks, they will eventually wonder why they need you. And, when they fire you and then find out they did need you, they would rather go broke than admit they were wrong.

They also won’t be in a hurry to promote you.

Well, from past stories I’ve read, the inquiry may be whether the company that makes the machines unfairly locked out the startup that helped monitor problems. The manufacturer made negative comments about the third-party monitors, and some franchise owners removed them (or never started using them) as a result.…

Man, I wish that was still how the world worked! 

Know then that it is the year 2021. The known universe is ruled by the Chair of the Federal Trade Commission Lina Khan. In this time, the most precious substance in the universe is the soft-serve twist (vanilla is okay, but meh). The twist extends consciousness, the twist extends life (note, not verified by the FDA).

It’s called ‘job security.’ If you’re the only person that knows how to do something they won’t be in a hurry to fire you if they want that something done.

Sheesh – it’s not that hard! I worked at a Dairy Queen in high school and cleaned those machines (we ran two) every night and they always just worked. Maybe it’s an old-school analog machine versus these new fancy-pants digital models?

The Spice( cream) must flow

I worked at CitiField for two seasons like 10 years ago. I was the only person who knew how to clean the ice cream machine, so I had to do it every night. It taught me a good lesson: don’t be the guy at work who knows how to do things, because there’s no benefit to you. 

Don’t even joke about that French Dip.

I need a fast food sanctuary where they serve Arby potato cakes, KFC potato wedges, and Taco Bell mexican pizzas all day. The hell is up with these places and messing with our heads?

I am old enough to remember when potato cakes were the only potato offering at Arby’s. They were (and still are, for me) a big part of my Arby’s order. Potato cakes, lovingly dunked in Horsey Sauce. Nothing could be a better accompaniment to mass-market roast beef sandwiches.

Yes, except that they are (were) crispier than McDonald’s hash browns typically are. Dang it! Arby’s potato cakes were really tasty, especially dipped in their spicy three-pepper sauce. Our local Arby’s had great panko-breaded onion rings until about a year ago, but now those are gone and no potato cakes either. :(
