You've never had something like this?

No. But I told my coworkers about the recent experience pictured above and they were all like, duh. How have I been in the shadows on this?

Until recently I worked at a pretty legit Thai/Viet restaurant in Portland and the only premade item that we sold was MAMA brand ramen. It is very good.

I just got around to trying this, it's decent. Spice sneaks up you on a little bit. I tried the first one with just the packet. Next time I'll have to try adding at least some egg

Not a big dip guy, surprisingly I'm sure, but I really love the tostitos queso dip. Guilty pleasure for sure. Can kill a jar in one sitting if I don't pay attention

I don't like original lays for dipping because they break too easily when going for deep scoops. It's like shoveling snow with a piece of cardboard. You need those thick ruffles to dip.

If you're serious about dip what are you doing fucking around with potato chips?

New mexican rolled ice cream shop oppened up where I was running an errand. Didnt try anything too exotic, but Was like $6 for a giant cup equivalent of at least like a 4 scooper. Had ferrrero hazelnut/caramel banana. Not sure what was blended in vs the natural ice cream but it was great. A ferrero egg on top of whipped cream and caramel. Caramel layered in the rolls of icecream and the banana I think might have been fresh as it actually gave me the itchy palate feeling.

Sadly, they had a Mazapan shake. Got really excited especially when they said yes its like the candy, and I asked marzipan and they said yes..... yeah no, I forgot about the chalky mazapan candies. Basically peanut flavor and they are good, but not marzipan which is like my most coveted sweet substance you almost cant find any good examples of in the US.

Has anyone else been part of the Dots Pretzel craze? They just hit my suburb of Houston and they are like fucking crack. Expensive for pretzels though; a one lb bag is 6 bucks.

I would rather have almost any other cracker/chips item than pretzels.

Oh man.. Tried the new Fudge Brownie M&M's. If you are like me and love that gooey almost undercooked brownie taste, this is for you. Easily my second favorite behind the caramel M&M's. I wouldn't have grabbed these but the caramel ones are almost always sold out around here.

I don't understand why it is but I recently got a cuisinart toaster oven that has a pizza stone and that thing cooks digiorno pizzas much better than a standard oven for some reason. The top is 100% browned and crispy and the crust raises higher than it does in the regular oven. That's not using convection, just straight up baking at 400 degrees. No clue why but it's consistent and my sister has the same oven and she says the pizzas are better from hers as well.

I tried Wendy’s breakfast and liked it. I got the baconator breakfast sandwich combo. The sandwich was tasty, but the big surprise for me is how much I liked their breakfast potatoes. They taste a lot like Arby’s curly fries, which for me is a good thing.

I wonder if it's the smaller space, which might allow for more consistent heat than a larger, conventional oven? I dunno, but I've had the same experience in you and have no other explanation.

OMG-- this total dive of a fried chicken/halal/arab market has 20 oz fresh smoothies that they make with FRESH FRUIT right in front of you. They are FUCKING amazing. You need to wear a flak jacket in the neighborhood. On the block with the most shootings. But WORTH the risk! Holy shit they are great!!

And $3.50!!!! Like what the shit?!? Amazing.... The smoothie places downtown get $8-$15 for a 12-16oz smoothie. And they are nowhere near as good as this spots.

It seems to be lowing up. We've had them here in Arkansas forever and are a regular staple for snacks. But recently my Mom in Alabama and a couple of others on Facebook have been dropping the name like it brand new.
