Yeah, there’s a company here in the States called Vite Ramen that makes a pretty nutritious instant ramen, but even then the sodium content in a serving is 33% RDV. (It used to be lower, but they were revising their recipe and learned that basically everyone was adding salt to it anyways so they stopped dialing it…

I like the curry, but I like the ‘carbonara’ more. It’s not as hot, but I enjoy the flavor.

Well, of course he didn’t need as much as Abrams. Empty puzzle boxes don’t come cheap.

I think Eternals suffered less from coming out at the wrong time and more from higher expectations due to a combination of the material it was tackling, higher standards for the franchise in general at this point, and Chloe Zhao directing. Like, everybody goes on about the Rotten Tomatoes score, but there is no way…

Something I’ve seen a few times around here and am surprised isn’t more common is a second menu board, placed to be accessible to the car behind one at the speaker.

Thank you for all your work. Not to besmirch your many fine colleagues, but the Random Roles interviews have always consistently been my favorite thing about the A.V. Club.

I could be wrong, but I think Cento removed the DOP label a while ago, insisting that it’s become harder and more expensive to get the authentic seal and you should take their word for it that it’s the only reason they have it. Instead they replaced it with that ‘Find your Field’ website that doesn’t actually work…

Ah, I miss my friendly neighborhood bookstore coffee shop. Well, what was then my FNBCS, I haven’t lived in that neighborhood in a while now. This place closed in the mid-00's (didn’t go broke or anything, but the owner wanted to shift his focus to going back to school and working on his music), and I’ve yet to find…

I used to do Blue Apron for a while, but dropped them because their selection at the time sucked (six meals to pick from, and you were limited in configurations) and I realized one day that for something 6-8 weeks straight, there was something wrong with an ingredient in the box literally every week. I switched to…

I wonder how often people have the opposite reaction, where they don’t like a regional place and groan at the thought of having to see it everywhere. (Well, people besides me, I’ve had that reaction before.)

It’s amazing to me that for as enormous as this movie was at the time and as huge a cultural thing it was, it seems to have left really zero mark.

To be fair, I don’t exactly have my finger on the pulse of the entire internet, but at least from the places I’ve been, you would not be in the minority.

I am not seeing the secret part of it.

Oh, I absolutely agree, there. I’m pro-qualification in this context. I just think that qualification is (or should be) the start of a longer conversation.

I haven’t had this, but I can imagine the pepperoni-stuffed crust being just kind of dry and thick without a dipping sauce. But then, I come from north-central WV, where any convenience store has a selection of pepperoni rolls from multiple local bakeries (enough to do one of those ‘ranking’ articles for the site,…

I’m going to sound like I’m being cute here, but I’m not — I think there’s always an interesting debate to be had (though not in the comments section of the AV Club) as to whether “corrupt” or “broken” is more appropriate to the system, or at least aspects of it. Which parts were made with good intentions and have…

To be fair, half the point of MST3K is finding the cheapest licensed content possible.

I dunno about Wingstop, having never eaten at one, but there’s a local wings and Tex-Mex chain that has a dipping sauce that’s a 50/50 mix of bleu cheese and ranch that’s quite good.

In my experience, not that I’ve been in one in a couple of years at this point, the stores tend to be pretty comfy to lounge around and get some writing done with a laptop or whatever. But that’s about it. Maybe the pastries are decent. Aside from that, I’m also in the “tastes good but needs to be 25% bigger and…

He probably has done that, though it’s possible that at some point he’s been on other medications that aren’t interesting enough to be called out in an article like this, or he’s just pissed off enough doctors or insurance companies to make it hard to keep a consistent prescription. But best case scenario, he was…
