As a long time SNL fan, I agree with much of what you mention, and appreciate you are constructively critical while recognizing flaws and highlights. For me, after last week and the dumpster fire/train wreck/vomit on the wedding dress stink, with the alien-dropped-from-another-planet Elon 3000, for which I cringed so…

He had a reputation at Georgia for being more sanctimonious than good. A scandal would not surprise me. 

I love all the chalky candies like Smarties, Sweetarts, the non-chewy Spree, Bottle Caps, etc. And then, if I’m even more lazy, why crunch and chew when you can just get Fun Dip or Pixie Sticks!
