Taco Bell’s inability to respect my dislike of tomato is why I haven’t eaten there more than twice in the last 15 years.  I just got tired of those constant, unwelcome tomato surprises.

I just tried Purnell’s for the first time last week! They were in the case at my local Publix, so that means they’re probably available all through the south at that chain.

I first had Red Gold at a local wings/burgers restaurant and realized that all this time I didn’t hate ketchup, I just hated Heinz and Hunts. Red Gold is quite good, and my preferred basic ketchup. Sadly it’s only for sale at one particular grocery store in my area.  It’s even harder to find than Whataburger ketchups!

I saw it… last year, maybe?  But not at a chain grocery store, one of the local places.  Seems to have come and gone quickly, sadly.

Try Winn-Dixie or Walmart, or if you’re in Louisiana, Rouses.  They all sell the Whataburger ketchup and W-D has the spicy ketchup, too.  

Are we reading the same list? Lamb Weston is the one that came in first. They’re just marketed as “Grown in Idaho”. You can even see the corporate name in the accompanying photo.

Man, everything about this sounds delicious as hell. It’s a shame the nearest one is 3 hours away from me. I’m actually happy to hear it’s “bursting with spices, if not spiciness”… not everything needs to set your face on fire to be delicious!

I got one of those blank receipts. I thought it was some sort of bizarre phishing attempt because I’ve never actually bought anything online from BK, and haven’t actually bought anything in-store in years.

What I can’t wrap my head around is the incredible amount of effort to make a measly profit on these candies.  When you factor in fuel costs, membership club fees, packing and mailing fees, and the hassle of making sure orders go out on time… Just seems like it ain’t worth the effort.

This is absolutely disgusting and I would love to try it.

Ha ha, that’s so true about the calorie listing!  But now I know if I skip the potato salad, that room can be taken up by chocolate cake.

I thought this was odd as well, but it appears to have a purpose: the countdown timer in the trailer is real-time and every time it loops, time has elapsed since the last showing. Or, at least the minutes progressed. When I watched it, it was 11 months, x days, 2 hours and 41 minutes… I let it play through a few more…

Y’all are thinking like young people, forgetting that old folks like her still probably have cable TV as their main entertainment. The whole Saul Goodman/Water White saga would be perfect low budget crime drama fodder for Investigation Discovery, or A&E’s Crime & Investigation channel, both of which were around in…

It’s not uncommon for a show to get cancelled while a new season is being made, but usually networks will either burn off all the episodes quickly, or shuffle them off to a streaming network to live in obscurity.  I’ve never heard of one getting canned the day it was supposed to premiere.

It’s very… gray. 

I have neither heard of nor seen these options in my local store.

I remember the good old days when the Cheesecake Factory Outlet was actually a good deal, and you could get cheesecake seconds and cheesecake irregulars at a steep discount.

It’s disappointing to learn that the beef issue is not just my local DQ, then. For years I extolled the virtues of the Flamethrower, and thought the beef in their burgers was every bit as good as the other fast food places, better even. On par with something like Five Guys or another boutiquey burger barn.

Then reducing hours was the stupidest answer to the pandemic.  If you want LESS people and more space between shoppers, letting a subset go between 11pm and 6 am is a wonderful solution.  That was the only time I could could visit my town’s Stupidcenter and not feel like I was swimming in a sea of disease.  

I’ll appreciate self checkout a lot more when they discount my purchase by the amount they’re saving by not having a cashier to do the work for me.
