One of the best changes about my life after moving to CA from NY is the endless supply of avocados that run the full scale of ripeness. I can go to the store and buy avocados that are ready to eat that second, along with a handful of avocados that I will eat in a day or two, and a few that will sit on my counter for…

Could you do it in reverse by letting them get to the desired ripeness on the counter first and then putting them in water to hold until you need them? Or would that just lead to gross water? I feel like I need to test this further.

Most people assume that the danger with eating raw cookie dough is the eggs, where in actuality it’s the uncooked flour (e. coli). 

If you decide to use the paper bag + fruit trick, keep in mind that it works VERY well. As in, check your avocado every few hours well. It’s very easy to end up with avocado mush if you leave it in the bag for a day or two. I’ve put an unripe avocado in a bag with a banana after lunch and eaten the avocado at dinner.

Good lord…I’ve never heard/seen of a multi story Costco. That sounds stressful for employee/shopper.

This is fucking revelatory.

worst part of that deal

My Costco card’s picture is me holding my (at-the-time) 1 year old son. The person behind the counter recommended I pick him up for it because “He would make the picture 100% cuter.” I can not say they were wrong about that.

i once saw a man going into costco after parking his motorcycle.  I didn’t know what he was doing there.

You should probably check the URL up top before bitching about Jalopnik.

I think sprinkles are fine.. they are not going to turn a bland treat into an exciting one.. but they do bring a certain simple (very simple) joy to an otherwise “standard” treat.

“Sprinkles” is a huge category. Source: me, I used to work at Wilton.

I’m on board the “no sprinkles” train, but my wife is a rabid sprinkle lover. And it’s NOT because of the way they look. She loves the flavor of them. She will sit there with a soft serve cone and a plate of sprinkles and dip on the plate with every bite to ensure maximum sprinkles. Some people just like them.

Whenever I see sprinkles, I silently thank the fates that it’s not those little chrome balls.

There’s also definitely just a genetic component to it. I’m a once a year dentist person and also often skip the nighttime brushing. I’ve made it to 30 with only one cavity my whole life. Some people are just lucky.

March and April usually have unpredictable weather. Spoiler: It will be cold and wintery with some big snow storms here and there. Also can expect some warm springy days of sunshine.

yep, you guys are right, most toothpaste doesn’t contain sugar. - I was always led to believe otherwise.

Uhh yeah no, toothpaste doesn’t contain sugar. Artificial sweeteners, sure. But sugar….where did you hear that?? Adding sugar to toothpaste just defies common sense, never mind everything we know about how damaging sugar is….

What toothpaste contains sugar? I couldn’t find any

Wait, we’re getting dental advice from the bloody ENGLISH?! Has this world gone MAD?!
