Spaniards that never heard of peanut butter?! We’ve got a national brand that is seriously good - it’s a dead ringer for Skippy - that’s been in supermarkets for decades. Capitán Mani comes in creamy or crunchy and has a cute peanut mascot that carries around what I assume is a baseball bat. Your Spanish friends need…

FWIW the deli near me sells 100g hunks of that cheese for 2,20€. So I could make a reasonable copy of this for, what, three bucks?

Worked at a Nissan dealership in college, back when the ‘90 300ZX Turbo was brand new. It snowed one day, not a lot, but enough that they wanted us to move the cars so they would clear it out. All the other cars, including the normally-aspirated 300s drove right out no problem. The Turbos all had LSD and would not…

You used to be able to order just a box of the batter. They had a button for “crumbs” and I think they cost about 59 cents for a whole tray. 

I worked at Subway in high school and we definitely had a slicer and used it all day long. We’d get a prep list in the morning and slice up a bunch of things. Back then they used “set ups” which had, for example, your turkey roastbeef and ham already stacked together to put on a Club. We also used that same slicer to…

I’m in Spain and it does that too (duh), except I don’t want it to and there’s no way to make it stop. I finally had to use bookmark us.gizmodo.com and use that. 

If they added it to the price of the menu items, they/you would have to pay additional sales tax on the difference, as well as tax on the additional income. Classifying as service charge or administrative fee saves at the very least the sales tax and in many states the income tax as well. 

The credit card terminal at the table has been universal in Europe since I moved here 20 years ago. On a recent trip back to the US I was surprised at the number of places that still do the disappearing card thing, or have machines that require you to swipe a magnetic card and don’t work with contactless.

I have three…

Most of the “revelations” in that book were bullshit. They got conclusions from their “laboratory” that said things like “most of the ingredients that we were able to isolate could also be found in one or more of the hundreds of recipes for thousand island dressing” and the book went straight to “SEEE IT?S A…

Very on brand for British teens flying to the balaerics. 

I think I speak for all of us when I say that we aren’t excited for Chipotle’s Rainbow Cumdump Bowl® next year. This shit needs to stop. 

Oh, man, I had totally forgotten about the Meximelt. Those were awesome. Sorry you got scorned by Taco Bell. 

I would be first in line to buy a next-gen 12" Macbook. Just put the M1 in it and they can even keep that horrible keyboard, I don’t care. Every single time I pick up my new M1 Air I long for that truly-thin-and-light 12" jobby. Even today, six years later, I prefer it to anything else on the market because of the…

And a Steak N Shake, and a dozen other 50s-diner-nostalgia burger places. I get that In n Out has to defend their trademarks, and suppose this will probably be resolved amicably, but no jury in Michigan would ever confuse the local chain with a west-coast chain they have likely not heard of or been to. 

You guys were disappointed because what you tried wasn’t the OG McRib. When these things first came out the patties were nearly twice as thick, and were molded to look like parts of an actual slab of ribs the bones had been removed from. It had a texture that was similar to a good rib. And they were kept in a big vat…

Did I just hear that kid refer to their destination as “Big Momma’s House?” That cannot be right. 

There is nobody toxic in my friends group on FB, and I have managed to unfollow/ignore pretty much everything else so most days I just see half a dozen pictures, a couple of restaurant checkins and then “no more posts to show right now”, which is just how I like it. The problem with this is that I’m still a user on…

I’m gonna go ahead and call bullshit on this. We don’t even have Wendy’s in Spain. 

I think it’s AOL.
