Maybe, but with all the pushes to raise minimum wage and the fast food industry’s extreme reluctance to do that, this might make sense for them. Just treat everyone as independent contractors who get paid per order rather than per hour (so it comes out to be far less than minimum wage) and require them to provide…

The U-2 is used for reconnaissance. It’s not a fighter aircraft. Fighter pilots on shorter missions don’t need snacks.

When people ask me to surprise them with a shot, I like to give them Malort.

You start with the fries - they’re best REALLY fresh, moreso than even the burger (though honestly I don’t hate cold fries either, this isn’t nachos we’re talking about). But don’t eat all the fries! They’re good, but not the star of the show! Eat your burger, but grab a few fries while you’re doing it to keep your…

Defrosting, and preprepared meals. If it comes out the freezer, then it goes in the microwave.

They tend to get broken off.

I’ve never had Vernor’s myself, I’ve only heard of it from the (under-appreciated) show Detroiters, where it gets used as a cure for constipation. Is that accurate?

Thank you, Muttons, was going to explain a Boston Cooler, you beat me to it.

OK, so your ginger ale attempt was sorely lacking in the “correct drink choice” department. The correct choice is Vernor’s which is a Michigan staple and more of a ginger cream soda if we’re being honest. The drink even has a name. It’s called a Boston Cooler. And it’s great.
