I know Dunkin is originally from outside of Boston, but I’ve never understood the absolute blind allegiance to them, when they serve the most mediocre series of products across-the-board.

Essentially. Shareholder value is about maximizing the stock price. And half that equation is reducing costs. Salaries and benefits for the workers are costs. Value put into the product/service is a cost. To maximize shareholder value, these other parts of the equation must be reduced as much as conceivably possible.

“Unlocking shareholder value” always sounds like the most mealy-mouthed of weasel words in corporate statements, usually obscuring some action that will screw over customers, workers, or both.

They serve ranch with wings because blue cheese (or bleu cheese) is gross. It is moldy, nasty, gunk that tastes like a dirty basement.

My family in the middle part of the country always had Catalina in the fridge. And, as mentioned, it goes great on taco salad.

But although Thousand Island is listed as the best seller in Oregon, I don’t really see it at restaurants or fast food places. Maybe everyone buys it in bottles because it’s not popular enough…

Put cool ass toys in there again and we’ll start buying again. This isn’t even a joke. I’m in my early 40s and my generation just really really falls for this. Something that glows in the dark, something linticular? Bam. Sales.

I’ve noticed my local store will put the family size boxes on sale, sometimes so that they’re even less than the regular size. So I get the family size just for me (obviously) but even that’s more than I’d like to spend (and now I’m eating the same cereal for 2 weeks straight).

The Most Popular Salad Dressing According To People Who Buy Shitty Kraft Dressing in Every State

I apparently live in Classic Catalina country and there’s no way in hell that’s correct. My observations are obviously limited to the homes of friends and family and various other BBQs and gatherings, but I can’t say I’ve ever seen it once outside of a market. The only reasonable explanation is Kraft is using…

Well, soup it is!  That’s just science and you can’t argue with science!

Notice the slug in the bottom right of the graphic. These are the most popular KRAFT dressings in those states. Nebraska has a homegrown variation on french dressing called Dorothy Lynch Homestyle Dressing that was invented post WWII at a small central NE town Legion Hall that is absolutely required to be stocked by…

Sad that there is no honey-mustard love out there. A recent convert. It also works in sandwiches. Spread on salmon or chicken, add panko, bake. Mix with soy sauce as a dip, pour over roasted or sauteed veggies or serve with sushi. Best coleslaw dressing ever when mixed with plain yogurt and thinned with a bit of milk…

It is pretty good, it’s become a staple whenever I do order Panda Express. I do wish they’d do a chili crisp chicken breast or something along those lines as well though.  Even offering a small cup of chili crisp to put on their fried rice or noodles would be a nice addition I’d throw 50 cents at.

The bunch being.. the Belchers?

Very curious about how this show will land with younger viewers. A lot of the humor involves David basically sexually harassing Maddie. At the time, I found it all very funny in all honesty.

I was too young to be interested in thirtysomething, now I’m too old. Guess that’s a con of being Generation X.

We even have a mochi donut place in my mid-sized city now. I’d be surprised if Mister Donut didn’t end up trying to make a comeback. I went to Mister Donut a couple times in Japan and they were pretty good.

As someone in the animation industry I can tell you this is the motivation for like 90% of Cal Arts graduates. Get a show on Cartoon Network with 100+ episodes that has decent merchandise where you voice a main character so when they make a new toy you get paid $3k to come in for an hour of voice work. Funny to see…

Dude I want your elbow.
