While adding these new items, they’ve removed a swath of very popular items, too. The Breakfast Box w/ Crunchwrap is gone, replaced with a Combo that removed the hash browns, while being more expensive. To buy the same food here in Texas, we now have to pay nearly 50% more. (BBox = $5, Combo with HB = $7.50)

#1 Braums (if it has a drive thru, it’s fast food.)

One should be honest enough to recognize that while Mexican food restaurants have been all over the country for at least a couple of decades, the quality of the mexican food available in most areas away from the southern border was just depressing.

For most of their existence, Dairy Queens in Texas were VERY different beasts than the ones you found in the midwest. So much so that they still maintain different websites (dairyqueen.com and dqtexas.com) which still have different menus. I think the franchisee arrangements are entirely different as well.

At the corner nearest my home in a north Texas suburb, we have a Chick-fil-a, a KFC, a Popeyes, a Raising Cane’s, and Sal’s Nashville Hot Chicken. Unfortunately, my sister is allergic to chicken, so we can’t take advantage of any of it. We’re stuck with Whataburger.

A surprising number of McDonalds “beloved” characters were introduced as criminals whose entire purpose was to steal specific McDonalds foods from you.

I feel the same way abut Martin Scorsese’s Hugo. Every single shot felt like it used 3D to support the mood rather than remembering it for a few key pieces to toy with the technology.

The strongest memory I have of watching Sleepwalkers as a kid was watching the scenes of the cats running down the street with their tails sticking straight up in the air. I remember thinking what in hell did they do to those poor cats to get them all to do that.  I felt sorry for the cat wrangler.

Taco Bell is the only rewards program I know which lets you a completed order to your rewards account using its printed receipt, which is very convenient. Ever other program I know requires you to order through your app or scan in at the counter during checkout.

It’ll never be “The Liberal Hate Machine” - it can’t do that Rolling Coal trick.

1) It’s different than every other pickup truck on the road. It’s non-conformist, and it’s basically a big middle finger to mundanity and convention.

You described careers which were completely eliminated, but missed all the fields which still exist but were literally decimated or worse. Yes, typesetting literally went away, but my first job as a rookie desktop publisher (before any desktop software had version numbers) literally dismantled that print shop’s…

MAGA will claim the scientists made it happen just so that science wouldn’t be proven wrong.

The problem is that while we might easily absorb a 7% loss, the impact will be felt by small farms. 7% may well take out 30% of the smaller suppliers, and the last thing we need is for our entire food supply to come solely from three or four huge companies. We need a broad spectrum of suppliers  to maintain equilibrium…

Definitely read the original Foundation Trilogy, but as abbygirl47 says, be prepared for almost all the real action to take place off-stage: that’s just how Asimov works. The main reason the show was so drastically modified was that dramatizing a story which literally takes place over many centuries would require…

Just drop everything about Palpatine, The First Order and The Empire. Let Rey Skywalker become the next Mad Max (which is precisely what they should have done with Kenobi-in-hiding. I would have killed to see Kenobi take on outwitting / secretly manipulating the Hutt syndicate).

Pork, pure and simple. Huntsville Alabama was where the Saturn rockets was developed and built. When it came time to replace those large rockets with the SLS Booster, it was roadblocked within Congress unless the work would again be done in Alabama. This was when it was argued that re-fitting existing launch tech…

The idea that a guy worth ~$200 billion was working a crypto grift that would net him millions is kinda laughable.

Watching about three minutes of a televised professional cornhole competition just depresses the hell out of me.

Disney has maintained “The Vault” since the fifties - a pattern of pulling and re-releasing their movies and programs on a roughly decade-long schedule. I’m surprised they’re moving this fast on streamed material, but I’ve always expected it to disappear so that they can make a big deal about re-releasing it (kind of…
