I just recently tried it for the first time -- I think it may have been in response to The Takeout’s ranking -- and love it. I am sorry to hear this.

Since 7-Eleven purchased Speedway a year and a half ago, even though Speedway is keeping its brand identity (for now, at least), they phased out Speedway’s house brands and now sell the 7Select chips and other snacks.

Subway actually announced, within the past few weeks, that they’re going to begin cutting their own meat in-store.

I love “Metropolis”; it’s my favorite silent film. Kind of a sad story in the wake of its production, of course; it was directed by Fritz Lang based on a story by his wife Thea von Harbou. Goebbels liked the film (at least, in the edited-down version which represented it for many years) and tried a few years later to…

Even though the sequel is not football-centric, the listing for “The Freshman” should have at least mentioned “The Sin of Harold Diddlebock.” Legendary comedy director Preston Sturges gave “The Freshman” a talkie sequel 22 years later, opening it with footage from the original movie. It’s not considered one of…

I got a “Somebody That I Used To Know” notification for this?

No one was licking cheese off his fingers, nor did anyone supplant him as America’s foremost art teacher.

I ordered a canister after reading this and it arrived today. I was trying to think of something I could do to play around with it, and I thought about the half a tub of sour cream in the fridge. Sure enough, the Vegeta makes a great dip!

I usually grow 7-Pot Lava Yellow peppers in planters on the front porch of my apartment. I wasn’t able to do that this year because I had planned a two-week trip to Uganda in the middle of the summer. So I had to rely on a variety of mix-and-match peppers given to me by others, and a few habaneros I bought at the…

Great story, but I have one small quibble — I make my own fermented hot sauce every year, and xanthan gum, event though it sounds suspicious, is actually a useful ingredient, helpful for adding body to a hot sauce and preventing separation. It’s pretty common even among hobby hot sauce makers. (I understand it’s also…

Rosenthal is on a tour right now promoting the book, and just this week I bought a ticket to see him in Nashville. I’m not actually on Netflix just this instant, although I’ve been meaning to re-up to see “Glass Onion,” and so I’ve got some catching up to do. What a terrific show; I’ve watched it since the PBS days.

I live in a small town, but it seems to be on Amazon in a variety of sizes and packages, and I just ordered a little canister. Looking forward to trying it!

Well, this being Arby’s, you can certainly add Horsey Sauce (and I did!)

I am not a regular Arby’s-goer, but I was killing time between two work events last night and wandered in to Arby’s, saw this on the menu board, and tried it. I liked it; as the reviewer implies, it’s not going to change the world, but it was a tasty sandwich, and something different. #bringbackpotatocakes

Well, yeah, that was exactly what I was saying. I understand that in this market they may be handled by the Coke bottler and in some other market they may be handled by the Pepsi bottler. I just meant they weren’t owned by Coke or Pepsi.

Does this mean the name is now available for Post cereals to use for a new product?

Just curious — are there any major chains that give their franchisees the option to choose one or the other?

Back when I was a teenager and the various sequels to the original “Planet of the Apes” were being released, I remember reading that they did three cuts of each (of the sequels, anyway) — one for the U.S. and most of the world, then a version with less violence for the U.K., because of that ratings system, and then an…

I can confirm your explanation about Tennessee’s statistics. There was very little shutdown here during COVID-19 compared to some other parts of the country.
