So, when I made the move to North Carolina, imagine my disappointment when a locally hyped favorite failed to deliver on its promise.

Biscuitville for the NC, SC, VA win and Tudor’s in WV, KY, OH. 

They’re handy for when you need something like a little gin to roast a leg of lamb.

The thinking goes that if consumers are unable to buy a 2-oz. bottle of booze, they’ll buy a bigger bottle of booze instead, so banning minis doesn’t reduce alcohol abuse. (To my mind, this point is technically plausible but unlikely in practice—price tags can and do affect purchasing decisions, and paying $20

They are cheaper than keeping a big bottle around for picky guests who only visit once or twice a year.

You can get a half pint(4 shots) for like 6 bucks. People will do this I think if minis are banned. It does not have to be 20 bucks. No ban is gonna stop people from drinking. You can go to jail for drugs and even that does not prevent people from doing them.

I like Joe Rogan’s podcast but even before that whole thing, I never got all the hate on Spotify. It’s probably the only subscription service I can’t live without. The complaints about paltry payouts to musicians could be applied to any streaming service. The thing no one seems to grasp is streaming pays out more than

I’ve just subscribed, and listened to Joe Rogan for the first time.  I like what I heard.

There hasn’t been a Queen of England in a very long time.

Maybe because that’s been hashed over thousands of times and is unrelated to this story?

“Actually killing people.”

Lol. Really? You honestly think it’s a bad thing that ICE can use github...? This cancel culture nonsense is exactly why Trump is going to win in 2020. Every single action like this further alienates those of us who actually want to beat Trump in 2020. Pathetic.

Do you REALLY want a world where every company feels compelled or encouraged to deny basic services to political opponents?

Thing of it is, in the United States of America, administrations can and do change. By the very will of the American people. This ain’t China.

Are the same people arguing that MS should decline to do business with particular customers, over an issue that they personally find morally objectionable, the same people that are saying a baker has to bake a cake for a customer to use to celebrate something they personally find morally objectionable?

Major League Soccer wanted Americans fans to imitate Europeans, with the scarves and the rehearsed fight songs and whatnot, but now they’re mad because some of these fan clubs are fascist.  This is the fan culture they asked for and now they have it.

Reese’s knew that their famous “chocolate meets peanut butter” candy would be identified by consumers as “chocolate” regardless of a lack of that word in the title and exploited it for financial gain with the white version.

This is why most Palmer candy says “Chocolaty” rather than “Chocolate, because they don’t have enough cocoa mass to qualify legally as chocolate. They are less valuable to consumers this way, and Palmer not getting to front like they have a chocolate levels the playing field a little.

I’m actually kind of okay with this? I’ve worked in brand marketing, and we absolutely have conversations about whether or not consumers will misconstrue what, for instance, “white” will connote in these situations, and what kind of liability that opens you up to. For instance, there are ABSOLUTELY certain products on

I always thought the foot is sticking out of the Falcons’ logo because it’s supposed to look like an F.
