I hope your 16-year-old appreciates these cool dad efforts! Read more

I’m not outraged. It’s fair to point out that if you work in a drive thru you might A) Get tired of this schtick, or B) Might not get it if you’re not a young person. If drive thru workers want to weigh in on this, they are encouraged to. Read more

I wonder if some communities will organize socially distant costume parades for the kids to show off their outfits. It could be cute to have them all walk down the middle of the street while neighbors cheered them on or something.  Read more

Good point. Though I kind of recall those turning into foamy sludge on top of the cocoa, right? Read more

I guess I can’t even picture what they taste like stale, since they feel stale at the best of times.  Read more

That’s a great idea. Adding them to cupcakes might be how I use up the rest of the bag! Read more

The packaging seems to be very careful about *not* suggesting any particular type of serving. I did taste them on their own as well as in milk, though cocoa might be an application that makes sense! (Or maybe not; they might melt entirely when they make contact with warm liquid.) Read more

I thank you. Read more

I’m so with you on the glitter polishes. They’re the only ones I like enough to justify going through the song and dance of a manicure, but they take twice as long to take off as they do to apply! Read more

If you take off for a year, let’s say, to work, it might be easier (or at least more practical) to continue working once things return… Read more

This is awesome. Read more

I want to stare at this cake all day long! Read more

Indeed it does!  Read more

Oh, 100% same.  Read more

I’d always get these at arcades! Problem is, if you let them stick to the wall too long they can leave a weird grease stain. Read more

Those sprang to mind as soon as I was done filing this article. Such a good choice. Read more

It’s *still* pretty astounding! Read more

Reminds me of Twinkies cereal, for the same reason! Read more

Now that you mention it, I do believe the flavoring is more of a “glaze” adhered to the surface of the cereal now, rather than a dusting of cinnamon sugar powder. (Purely anecdotal, however.) Read more
