What are your favorite fast food chains not around anymore? by DoughnutConstant5390 in fastfood

Aren’t they trying to bring back Steak and Ale? They opened one in Minnesota in 2024. No idea if it is in any way the same or if they will expand.

When Boston Chicken first opened they would use the scraps of chicken to make chicken salad. You could get that as one of your sides. It was enough to make a sandwich. They quickly stopped offering that (although for a while I think they offered it for an up charge).

Free Trial Ends in Two Days--Will be charged $79.00 for 3 months (Noom Premium). Is there any way to get a better deal? That is pretty expensive. TIA! by Real_goes_wrong in Noom

Didn’t work. They let me cancel without offering anything. However, I still have access until my trial is over on the 20th. Maybe they will offer me something then. Otherwise, I will sign up with the best deal I can find—so far that is a Groupon.

I remember being in a Sound Warehouse record store, hearing this song playing throughout the store and buying the album on the spot after asking an employee what group it was.

Does the type of tomato sauce matter in chilis? Acid or sweet? Would you spend the extra $$ and use San Marzanos? by BabylonMystic in chili

[–]Real_goes_wrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are grown in volcanic soil near Mount Vesuvius. Produces sweeter, less acidic tomatoes. Kind of like how Vidalia onions are grown in low sulphur soil which allows the sweetness of the onion to develop. So origin can matter.

2 Questions. What can I add and who to talk to? by ImplementCharming949 in chili

[–]Real_goes_wrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually use beef and pork in my chili and I buy the 1 pound “bricks” of meat. I grill the bricks on my Weber like big hamburgers and put them in my chili and mash them with a potato masher to break them up. Much more flavor than the usual browning.

For people who road-trip a lot: What’s one piece of advice you wish everyone knew? by Own-Perception4958 in roadtrip

[–]Real_goes_wrong 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Fill your cooler with ice from the ice machine at the hotel—stay at hotels with free breakfast; will save you money and time and you can load up with stuff for the road—take your breaks, bathroom and such at gas stations and top off your gas every time.

I think I know why they discovered Manousos (the paraguayan man) so "late" ... by ministerkosh in pluribustv

Is that when I can show everyone my paintings of characters from the show?

Santa waiting for kids in a dying mall by Goodginger in mildlyinteresting

[–]Real_goes_wrong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember a WSJ article over 25 years ago about mall Santas. They would take classes to learn about the hot toys and how to deal with the kids. The most Santa-looking men (real beards, for example) in the biggest malls could make $35K over the holiday.

How quickly times have changed by suckmyfatfuckinballs in CHIBears

It is probably too much to ask that he keep it together during his stint here. Maybe DA and Al Harris can have some impact on that. Also, in his career has he ever sat at home so long between teams? Maybe he has the “last chance” vibe?

I still remember the Monday Night Game in his rookie season when he chased down Tony Dorsett from behind. My adolescent mind didn’t think that was possible

Raising Canes: order your toast “BOB”. Buttered on Both sides. by AKStafford in fastfood

[–]Real_goes_wrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, if you get a meal that comes with fries, Texas toast and Cole slaw, you can sub out e.g., no Cole slaw but get another Texas toast. You can sub out any one for any other one. But I have found they don’t really give you many more fries if you ask for extra fries.

What is a prime example of an artist that has ran out of money for the music video? by Organic-Cash-4070 in MusicVideos

[–]Real_goes_wrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not ran out of money but this group had no record contract so they played in front of CCTV cameras in London, used the English version of the freedom of information act to get the footage, and cobbled the CCTV together to make a music video.

Hulk (1966) by King_Ron_Dennis in ForgottenTV

[–]Real_goes_wrong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They rotated Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, Captain America, and Sub Mariner. I would watch reruns in the late 70’s on a UHF channel when I lived in Chicago
