I, for one, am I sucker for “mystery flavor”.  The 2021 “VOO-DEW” tastes like gummy worms and I would not recommend it.

The only likelihood of an edible ending up in the candy bowl is someone seeing it on a counter or something and thinking “oh, this must have fallen out of the candy bowl” and putting it in there. So it *could* happen, but if you’re the person paying for those edibles, just be sure that doesn’t happen. Not because of…

Never support brands.  The key difference is that miracle whip is a known quantity, whereas mayo is something you can actually make from ingredients so it can be great or awful.

I suspect most searches for “Circus Peanuts” are “what are circus peanuts” or “what is up with circus peanuts”in nature.

No.  You can buy edible gold leaf at like JoAnn fabrics, putting it on food takes zero skill, and “adding an ingredient to the dish that contributes nothing to how it tastes” is a sign of a bad chef.  If I’m at a restaurant and I see anything on the menu that is covered in gold, I’m leaving and going to eat somewhere…

I guess the kids show version of the Witcher makes some sense since Andrzej Sapkowski started out writing these things as “deconstructions of iconic fairy tales” many of which will be familiar to a kids audience.  The ones he actually committed to the page may not be appropriate (there’s a *lot* of sex in his Beauty…

So wings are absolutely not what I want from Taco Bell, but I have to say I am intrigued by queso seasoning.  “Exploring brave new worlds of dehydrated cheese powder” is the sort of thing I want my huge brands to do, since that’s not technology that’s available to the home cook.

While Ice Cream has its place around Christmas (I have fond memories of the little minty ice cream trees), it’s not something I’m ever going to touch during the month of January. 

I had this today. It’s fine. Hits all the necessary brisket notes: beefy, tender, smoky. Doesn’t have as much of a bark as I like, but that’s going to be kind of impossible when it sits in the same kind of warm tubs as all of Chipotle’s other proteins (then gets surrounded by wet things in your burrito/bowl). Not sure…

I wonder at what point “it’s unrealistic for someone who wants to play your game can just go into the store and buy the machine you can play it on” is going to affect the development cycles of games that are looking to push “Next Gen” technology.

I guess the hope is that the temporal shift affecting holidays is monotonic so we’re just living in a transitory period.  So now we get the Christmas cereal 3 months before Christmas, and may be next year we get it in June, but eventually the Halloween stuff for, say, 2028 will start appearing in the fall of 2027 so…

I will take any vaccine for anything however the medical experts want to administer it.  I’m not totally comfortable with “inject the vaccine directly into the eyeball” but I am willing to make that sacrifice.

It’s of the breakfast variety of burrito, so it’s all just stuff that’s safe raw (cheese) or you cook on the same flat top you cook everything else (hash browns, eggs, cured meats). You just roll it up in a tortilla and dress it with some sauces that are shipped in.

So I get why the quesadilla is only available if you order through the website/app, because it takes longer to prepare than a burrito/bowl/taco.  But there’s no justification for a protein to be exclusive to the app, other than “we want to tempt you into giving us your data” right?

Presumably they buy the sandwich from CFA, keep it warm, then get it to you.  So you’re still giving money to CFA, a thing you probably should not do.

If I was going to get the image of a chef tattooed on my body, you can be absolutely certain it would be the Swedish Chef.

If the Wrath of the Righteous Video Game resembles the Pathfinder Adventure Path on which it is based, you can basically make random choices that make sense in the moment and roflstomp the opposition. The mythic rules were not well balanced, but it was kind of fun being the most gonzo things around in the most gonzo…

I bet it’s a pretty good potato, I’d eat there.  Getting the full culinary view of the place also involves eating some of it’s normcore trash, after all.

It’s probably too thick, but if you’ve had a tenderloin sandwich in Iowa then you know that a breaded thing that is barely covered by the bun is A-OK.

My Cheesecake Factory strategy hinges on the fact that I was thoroughly conditioned from my youth to never order appetizers, drinks, or dessert when I’m at a restaurant, and that I don’t like cheesecake.
