Well it's cheap, it's delicious and it's omnipresent in most grocery stores. If this were some kind of artisanal kombucha going for nine bucks a bottle it'd be one thing but la Croix remains truly affordable and, as an acquired taste, it's just unimpeachably good. I'll be the first to admit the backlash sucks and…

Hey- La Croix is too good to be brought down by your allegations of pay-to-play! I'll have you know this website was a proof of concept design for a viral marketing firm and not affiliated with the drink itself!

Oh I'm definitely nervous now. The health issue was just the worst possible optics while Trump just seems untouchable.

I was actually surprised at the full quote, I'd always heard it as "how did Nixon win, nobody I know voted for him" but looking it up, and reading it in the context in which she said it makes much more sense

It nails how insular the "bubble" of social media and confirmation bias can be, and how it's only getting more extreme. Patton probably felt like Pauline Kael in 1972:

Man, it is a scary time. Even if you're really optimistic there was a quote I read in New York today that hit home

Jenna Marbles' Mortadella! Cinema sins Salami! Pewdiepie pepperoni! You've stumbled onto a rich vein of potential products here my friend.

Yes but you actually have to pay for the quality. I just want to be marketed substandard pork trimmings through sponsorship of YouTube stars and native advertising on my pop culture websites!

Oh you poor trusting Dikachu! Trump is doing astoundingly well. You want to see some genuinely sobering stuff- Look at how Hillary has lost two commanding leads in the past six months. Hell just look at how the polls have tightened in just the last month.

How would you advertise bacon to authenticity craving millenials? Ironic bacon appreciation is so passé. How about figuring out a way to get processed pork products in the trendiest of Park Slope stomachs? How to make Silver Lake or Portland turn down kale for pig fat?

So is this a reference to "Hot Tub Time Machine 2" because I didn't think anyone else actually saw that movie.

"We acknowledge that the Sugar Ray Foundation should have exercised greater transparency in all of its desire to fly as well as the study of the halo on my girlfriend's four post bed"

"Pour some monounsaturated fat on me! Avoid that palm oil!"

This should come as no surprise. It's the thesis to Moss' 2013 book on food science and agribusiness, that companies are so adept at demonizing one element at a time to balance out the other one. Like for instance nowadays high fructose corn syrup and gluten can be "bad" while old fashioned sugar and carbs are…

Story was even stranger. She had Alzheimer's and he had just had brain surgery, they were going to a fiddle festival 15 miles from home and somehow ended up in Arkansas 350 miles away from where they were headed

Thank god I can finally get rid of my potash mine! We've got nostalgia now.

Sounds like you'd be interested in the new feature "random rolls" an exploration of the many different buns, baps, brioches and breads that the interviewee has tasted.

In forty years, when the oceans are an acidic wasteland devoid of complex life, we'll point to this article to say "eh, you didn't miss much".

Skyfall?

The ultimate twist! What if paradise… Isn't?
