So can I be a rebel if I just consume the original orange, yellow, and white candy corn around non-autumn holidays?

I mean, Charlie Day’s Luigi voice is probably just Charlie Day, since “Charlie Day easily naturally anxious, agitated, and barely holding it together” also sums up Luigi pretty well. So it’s possible someone just figured Donkey Kong should sound like Seth Rogen.

I half suspect that the main reason right wingers lose their minds over the M&Ms characters is that the spokescandies subtly underline how gender is distinct from biology. Since Yellow is identifiably “masculine” and Green is identifably “feminine” but they obviously possess no biology whatsoever because they are made…

I really don’t get the appeal of large cookies that taste unbaked in the middle.  This is an off-putting texture!  It speaks to incorrectly sizing your cookie, since ideally you are set-to-crisp on the edges with some slight chew in the middle.  I sort of suspect that people who sell “too big and too soft” cookies are…

I mean, the way to handle this from a design perspective is not “morality meters” but “there are social consequences for people observing you doing bad things.”   You could do anything from a GTA style star system to a New Vegas style faction rep and it would be better than “nothing.”

It just feels wrong to pair vodka with pineapple when rum exists.

I would encourage people to not buy flavored spirits, since while (for example) “mango and tequila” is a good flavor combination, you will get better results combining actual mango with a tequila you already know you like. Generally “flavored spirits” are a way for distillers to sell a lower quality product at a…

Once again industries sort of fail to understand that the fundamental issue is that everybody wants to enjoy something special from time to time, but younger people were born into an economic system really stacked against them so they’re only going to do the stuff they can actually afford to do.  Whereas our parents…

The secret is that every champagne cocktail is kind of good, and also something you’re not really inclined to produce at home since once you crack the bottle you have to finish it. Like there’s a reason that mimosas at brunch are a thing at restaurants (which will go through several bottles depending on the crowd) and…

The thing about icon chasing in a great big sandbox is that this is a great thing to have when it’s what you want, but moods are not entirely predictable so it contributes more to “buying the Assassin’s Creed game on sale for when you want that in your life” than “being hyped to pay full price”.

Digitial menu boards are an innovation?  I think Arby’s has had them for 10 years and my local tacqueria has had them for 4-5.

I’m going to miss being able to blacken chile skins by throwing them directly on the flame.

As someone who also strongly prefers Trek to Wars, I will also not be appearing in any Star Wars movies.

Yeah, it wouldn’t be impossible for BK to make something that you could understand as a torta with ingredients they could get, it’s just that their process of refining it to make it more inexpensive, efficient, and to make it the same from restaurant to restaurant means you’re almost certainly better off hitting up…

So the robot picks a pre-prepared thing off a shelf, fills it with something, and gives it to you? I’m there are high school kids working their first summer job who can manage that. Fry cook is way more involved.

I know this is probably unlikely, but there’s no game I’d be more jazzed about a respiffed version of than New Vegas.

It really seems like Smuckers lost this when they didn’t do anything about all the sandwich presses/cutters that literally say “Uncrustables” in the product description.

I am absolutely capable of feeling guilt about basically anything, so “guilt free” was always a challenge.

It genuinely feels like “rich idiot who got rich because of luck and timing, and gets called a genius because he’s rich not because he’s not an idiot” is an archetype, it’s just that we live in a world with several living, breathing embodiments of that archetype.

Nobody would mind Harry Potter of Joanna had just taken her riches and lived in her castle and found something constructive to do with her time that’s not “be a ringleader for a hate movement.” Nobody regrets their Hunger Games fandom because of anything Suzanne Collins says because you don’t hear a peep from her.
