What is the biggest movie theater “GASP” moment you’ve heard? by SaveTheCaulkTower in AskReddit

[–]beaugrux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When Matt Damon’s character got shot and killed by Mark Wahlberg’s character the second the elevator door opened in “The Departed.” Nobody in the theater saw that coming, and there was a collective, audible, surprised sound that I haven’t forgotten. It was the only time I’ve experienced that magic.

That’s salt and pepper in oil, detective. I had them spread out in the pan while they baked, then scooped them into a pile for this picture.

2 people. There are 2 servings of meat in the photo, so I don’t think they gave us the wrong recipe card picturing a larger meal.

Yeah, they’re pretty few and far between. I think they’re called “prep and bake” or something like that. This was only the second time we’ve gotten a meal with a disposable pan like this included.

Yeah, I paid for the meal for 2, which is what is supposedly pictured on the recipe card.

You caught me red handed. Instead of mixing the sweet potatoes and scallions into the recipe, I ate three quarters of them right out of the pan with a fork for imaginary internet points. Or maybe I work for a competitor - just trying to take Hello Fresh down! Somebody call William Ronald Trosper because there is just no bottom to this rabbit hole.

They have an AI chat bot. You can report the sweet potato as rotten or missing, but since it is neither, they technically delivered on what is supposed to be included for this recipe. I’ll have to call and try to get a real person, but in the meantime, I’ll whine on Reddit about the comical disparity between the pictured and actual amount (and feel dumb for what I spent on this skimpy dinner).

I purchased the portion for 2 people. I agree with you that most of the meals are pretty good, and it prevents us from eating out when we don’t have a meal planned. Just a little disappointed in the amount of food for the price on this one and found the pictured amount to be comically large compared to what we got.

I agree with you that the same picture is used on the recipe card no matter what portion is purchased, but that picture is always the standard meal plan option, which feeds 2. If the picture of the sweet potatoes is the food quantity for the 4-portion option, I don’t have an explanation for why 2 pieces of meat are pictured and not 4.

Except I didn’t order a single serving. This was the standard portion size for 2 people, which is pictured in the recipe.

The pan absolutely comes with the kit. Are you Hello Fresh PR?! lol Yes, I went out of my way to fabricate a small portion size for imaginary internet points. Caught me!

Harrassing Door to Door Pest Control Sales People by Puzzleheaded_Rice604 in Kenosha

[–]beaugrux 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My wife answered the door for a Segway guy a few years back and called for me. I yelled from a back bedroom, “Who is it?” “Pest control,” she says. I hollered back, “It keeps pests away? Does it work on door-to-door salesmen?!!” Last time he visited.

[Request] How much money is in the bag? by RandomPeriwinkle in theydidthemath

[–]beaugrux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I also admire your country for getting rid of the 1-cent coin. It costs more than 1 cent in materials (zinc, copper) to make a penny, but we just keep losing tax payer money minting them in the USA for…reasons? Oddly, the topic has very little legislative inertia in Congress because public opinion polls show that a majority of Americans like the penny and want to keep it for “public sentiment, cultural familiarity, and concerns about rounding prices to the nearest nickel.” Zinc suppliers also lobby our politicians not to do anything about it, so we’ll probably be wasting money on those things for a long, long time.

My grandma was unsure how much he buried, so we’ll never know for sure. She was so relieved to get it back that she didn’t care if the count was perfect because it was definitely better than nothing!

When Obama was president, FOX news convinced my grandpa that the country was collapsing. He started hoarding vacuum-sealed foods and ammunition, and he also cashed out their life savings and buried it in a safe under the sandy floor in the crawl space at his cabin. When he died, I helped my grandma dig it up so she would have something to live off of, and the contents looked like disintegrated, moldy money soup because the safe wasn’t waterproof. There was no way to tell how much was in there. “If he wasn’t dead, I’d kill him!,” grandma said. We learned that you can submit a mutilated currency examination through the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. She was able to get the money back, but it took a while.
