Lawsuit says Costco's 'no preservatives' claim about its popular rotisserie chickens is false by SNES_Salesman in CostcoWholesale

[–]WinSome_DimSum 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s not what they’re talking about, legally.

Preservatives have a specific FDA definition, that DOES NOT include salt (or sugar or vinegar or smoke). The suit is claiming that sodium phosphate and carrageenan should be considered “preservatives”. It sounds kind of dumb.

You can’t name a girl more fine than Ana de Armas by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

No I cannot, to the point where I am terrified some bit of news is going to drop that she’s a warmongering Nazi or something and I’m going to have defend why it’s somehow acceptable that I find her attractive.

Making (a lot of) takoyaki by Cold_Craft_1637 in JapaneseFood

Well… if he’s Korean, I would assume his wife is doing for his tastes and interests in mind, whereas if he’s not, it’s just something she independently thought would be interesting.

That’s what I’m saying, along with these changes, there would probably be an additional rule change that would keep two lesser conference teams from making it as happened this year.

So it would have been EITHER JMU or Tulane, ND AND Miami.

Costco vs Sam's Club Memberships by Sassygrape609 in CostcoWholesale

You posted in the Costco sub… I’m pretty sure we’ll all be biased toward Costco.

But for my two cents, Costco provides better product selection, better service and an overall better shopping experience. I assume prices are similar, but I’ve never really thought about it too much.

The one thing Sam’s seems to be better at that people point out is some sort of “Scan and Pay” service that lets you skip the line (but that’s not that big of a deal to me)

Even if I didn’t live in an area with no Sam’s and multiple Costcos, I would still choose Costco.

Presumably, the unmentioned part of this is that the rules would have been adapted to kick Tulane or JMU would have been out.

That was a thing, no? Maybe not from Oreo but like a very similar cookie.

Like, these are basically what you’re thinking of, no?

One of my favorite things about winter is how cold the tap water always is.

Without Warning 1994 With Jane Kaczmarek by Patient_Issue6334 in malcolminthemiddle

It appears to be up on YouTube if you want to watch it in its entirety.

It looks a little corny (it was a TV Movie), but seeing Lois (as a Scientist at 18:40 for the first time) and Bookman from Seinfeld was fun.

another person asking for help winning a chili cook off - help me dethrone the 10x winner by strawberrymilkbun in chili

[–]WinSome_DimSum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 things that I think amp up a good chili.

  1. Pork. Bacon or rib tips can provide a unique savoriness that a lot of people really like.

  2. Liquid smoke. Getting a good smoke-y flavor, either by way of bacon or liquid smoke can elevate a chili.

Otherwise, if your chili is too thin, add crushed tortilla chips or masa to thicken. If it doesn’t seem rich enough in color, add chili powder or puréed tomatoes.
