Ohmygosh! I didn't read a lot of YA, mostly regular...A books, so I don't even remember how I came across this one, or even what it was called. It must was been a gift or something? Maybe I borrowed it from a friend?

That's Palo Alto for you!

I actually think that's a significant part of it, that men and boys associate it with femininity, at least subconsciously. Then they don't want to bring it in their lunches/have it in the office fridge, etc. And the industry doubled down on marketing to women.

Can't agree with you about the deviled eggs. Then again, my deviled eggs are 1) the best 2) mostly just a vehicle for the Hungarian smoked "half-sharp" paprika I put on absolutely everything anyway.

I can't think of cottage cheese without a passage from some YA book I read in my preteen years coming to mind. In the scene the teenage protagonist has put herself on a diet and is fixing up her go-to weight loss breakfast: a half bagel with the doughy inside scooped out, discarded, and replaced with fat-free cottage…

This girl does not love pink slime yogurt.

The front-facing camera and its lens is of much lower quality than the regular one in the back. The difference is most noticeable on the iPhone 5, which has an impressively good camera for a cell phone, much improved over the 4 and 4s.

I used to see them in DC, too...two years ago. (I'm blessedly free of them on the West Coast/without cable television.) How long will this lawsuit carry on? Must be the case of the century. Hurry, there's still time to cash in!

I can't hear/think about/read "vaginal mesh" without crossing my legs immediately.

I'm just here to applaud the freeze frame.

Wasn't there a website in the early aughts started by Elle advice columnist E. Jean and another woman called GoodBoyfriend.com, or something, where women recommended incompatible-for-them-but-otherwise-great ex-partners to each other? No? I think I just read that somewhere. It's not around anymore, but it was a damn…

Why did they design the type to look like a Art Deco-ish theater marquee? And (not that I want to see it any more, but) where is their logo on the bottle? If I came across the polish without realizing it was Facebook's my first thought would not be to connect it to the company, the color/name be damned. Ugly and weak…

Exactly right.

Thank you. This song has a powerful political message, one that as a Washington resident I know did and does ring true with many.

I thought the "rule" was 33%. People are paying 25%? And expecting others to do the same?

So much slapping between those dudes!

Did you see the part where they toss the groom in the air? Dirty smushed silly string completely coating the soles of his shoes. That broke the spell for me, I have to say.

I was a barista off and on to supplement other jobs in my teens and earlier twenties and have really enjoyed the actual work (for independent shops, never at Starbucks) but it's no get-rich-quick scheme, that's for damn sure. It bothers me that shops, especially the really super edgy ones, project this image that the…

A $1500 bookcase?! How many books does it hold? Does she have a dedicated library in her apartment?

...except for that guy that just got fired because his manager found out he'd taken an expired sandwich from the trash the week before (he wasn't getting very many hours and says he could not feed himself adequately)? :(
