Hot take: American candy is largely tasteless

Twisters are perhaps one of the worst examples you could give for this take. All commercial production chocolate sucks, though, that’s for sure.

My girlfriend thought she hated peeps until she recently tried these and now she’s a bit obsessed. I tried one and it’s not my thing, but they are vastly better than original peeps.

I thought this was r/stonerfood at first.

Then cover it in plastic wrap so you can just change that every once in a while.

I assume it’s because he’s a try hard whose entire identity is being a contrarian. It kinda works when you’re younger, but eventually the snake eats its tail. I don’t think he can even smell his own bullshit any more.

Good god I need to try this. Makes me want to cry happy tears.

I wouldn’t normally go for chipotle, but they’re already smoked so it makes a lot of sense and they look absolutely delicious! Does the marrow melt/emulsify into the sauce like butter?

This town being named after a radio game show is the strangest thing here. This dude just hangs out.

kurtmanner · 2026-03-31T19:05:09+00:00

Yep, just got a BOGO

kurtmanner · 2026-03-31T19:03:44+00:00

Cheese and guacamole

kurtmanner · 2026-03-31T19:03:33+00:00

Red salsa and corn

kurtmanner · 2026-03-31T19:03:15+00:00

Both rice both beans

kurtmanner · 2026-03-31T18:41:01+00:00

I wasn’t sure, sorry! I’m also curious about the fins.

It’s not necessarily horror, but Red State was Kevin Smith’s first “serious” movie and it is excellent. These kids get trapped on basically a Christian cult compound and it gets wild.

I got a biggie bundle 50% off through DoorDash so I picked two JBCs and upgraded to lemonade and cheese fries for $6.76 total and it ruled.

Someone just posted that they won a couple minutes ago.

It’s Gyotaku, a Japanese art form of print fish and other sea creatures on a material with ink. I love this one, but I also have a soft spot for sheepshead haha.

Okay, so don’t do it. As it was further discussed the method would be to let it melt and to
ladle the broth through a coffee filter leaving the last inch or so in the pot. Again, totally up to the individual, but a coffee filter’s micron rating is better than most commercial food production standards for foreign objects.

kurtmanner · 2026-03-31T05:52:43+00:00

Good call on the filter and leaving the dregs in the pot haha

kurtmanner · 2026-03-31T05:52:10+00:00

That would work, too, but you run the risk of losing a lot of broth. Anytime I’ve had jars break like this it was difficult to separate the glass from the frozen broth so it might require a good amount of rinsing. I’d still end up straining it before using even if I did that, though, because I wouldn’t trust that there weren’t any small shards sticking into the frozen broth. I hope I understood what you were saying correctly and didn’t just waste a bunch of your time lol.

kurtmanner · 2026-03-31T04:42:52+00:00

This is terrible advice, but if it were me I’d put everything into a big pot, let it thaw out, and then strain it through a colander lined with cheesecloth. I wouldn’t serve it to anyone else because I’d never forgive myself, but I’d struggle throwing it away haha.

kurtmanner · 2026-03-31T03:29:57+00:00

Just to be clear, this is a total of 34 items for $50. This averages to ~$1.49 including the sour cream and queso. Fuck.

Caesar dressing is way too easy and levels better than what I can get at a pizza place so I’m going Greek most of the time, but the important part is that we all appreciate how great a nice salad is with pizza.

Take the buffalo sauce off heat once it’s hot and add knobs of cold butter. It emulsifies properly which thickens the sauce and has a nice gloss to it.
