    Newman's Own pasta sauce is one of the only sauces that tastes good and isn't insanely expensive. You can get jars for like $3.00. The rest of the pasta sauce aisle is filled with Prego/Ragu watery shit for about the same price, or stuff like Rao's that is $7.00/jar for some reason.

    Friendly's is about the worst ice cream you could buy. It's only a tier above those giant buckets of nondescript ice creams that PTA moms buy for school functions. And at least those have nostalgia factor going for them.

    Trader Joes stuff is hit or miss. They've got some awesome frozen stuff, especially if you're into Indian food. However, their chip selection is the worst of any grocery store I've experienced. Super small selection and the ones they have are mostly garbage tier.

    Here's a ridiculously in-depth (i.e., it's over 6 hours) video that goes over the history of each Metroid game and summarizes the plots. It's really well made and worth a watch if you're like me and only have a surface knowledge of Metroid. I've dabbled in a few of the games (Metroid, Super...

    I've also had a few bags of the Baja Blast Doritos. First bag I was meh, but they've grown on me. Kind of a refreshing, summer taste akin to Cool Ranch, but a bit breezier.

    Hangry Joe's hot chicken for lunch today. So good. Big ass piece of chicken on the sandwich and the spice level (one under the max) was a perfect combination of flavor and heat.

    I think drive thru is a big reason people still get traditional fast food. People are lazy and pay a bit more to not have to park, walk in, and pick up a to-go order. Plus the expectation of a tip on top of the price (though that is creeping into fast food, too). Curbside pick-up is a thing...

    There are a couple things that make it difficult for some people. Self control is one. Especially when eating is an emotional thing, staying regimented even for just one or two meals a day is super hard. Another thing is that "eating whatever the fuck you want for dinner" can mean...

    Fatties of the past had nothing on the fatties of today. Hell, we all thought Homer was hilariously obese in that one Simpsons episode where he puts on weight to work at home. Nowadays, 90% of the people you see at Walmart look like he did. It's really incredible given the golden age of buffets...

    I've been devouring these lately. They're so good. Probably the best Doritos variety they've put out in a long time. They are basically the Flamin' Hot flavor of regular Doritos, but better. They seem to have way more flavor dust than you get on typical Doritos. Maybe it has to do with the...

    I was initially against the Skins drafting a QB and was hopeful they'd trade back. However, I like the moves they've been making (though I'll miss Sam Howell), and I'm willing to give the new regime the benefit of the doubt. We'll see if the history of incompetence continues based on how they...

    Nintendo doesn't need anything besides their exclusives. As long as they continue to sell 10s of millions of copies of Smash Bros., Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, Zelda, etc., they'll be fine as long as their hardware is the only way to play them.

    Yum! Brands (KFC, Pizza Hut mainly) are definitely some of the shittiest, dirtiest, run-by-dregs-of-society fast food places around, but you can't deny they are the best when it comes to new, weird products. God bless them and their mad scientist ways.

    And normies just assumed he was that movie's villain. The post credit seemed like it was just setting up a sequel unless you watched Loki, which very few people I know did. *Edit* Maybe it's not that he isn't popping up enough, but that he had too much focus? Being the main villain of a movie...

    They need to simplify things with whoever the next big bad will be. Back in the day, all my normie friends knew Thanos was an overarching villain because he'd pop up in most movies in a small part or credits scene. They were excited to finally see him take center stage. None of my normie friends...

    Ethiopian food in general is amazing. Biggest benefit of living near DC is an authentic Ethiopian place on every corner. I love the spicy brown one that comes with a hard boiled egg and a chicken leg, whatever it's called.

    Finally picked up the Pineapple Jalapeno Doritos. Garbage tier. They have a very sour aftertaste that I guess is supposed to be the pineapple, but it just tastes bad.

    Got it tonight. Really tasty. I went with a vanilla concrete with cheesecake and sugar cookie. We went to Dairy Queen the other day, and I definitely prefer Culvers concrete to a Blizzard.
