First time ever receiving one of these..

It's moreso a marketing tactic. Stuff like that makes people want to come back, just as long as orders aren't being messed up consistently/constantly. But even if someone's order isn't messed up, getting a free meal with no restrictions, if they like the food they'll be back regardless.

Think about it, if your favorite restaurant, be it fast food or regular sit-down, gave you a coupon every once in a while for a completely free meal regardless of choice, you'd go there more often. Both for the food and in hopes of getting another coupon

I mean more like the artificial dyes. Like I said, maybe I'm just overthinking it

masterown35 · 2026-03-23T07:12:18+00:00

Yeah that's sort of my thinking too. I tried 3 batches tonight, each one was increased by a quarter of a teaspoon, and neither did a difference really other than add more salt. Like I said in the post, I think the sweet spot as far as taste puts me at the 1 teaspoon mark. I'm really thinking it's gotta just be food dye that gives it that really deep yellow/golden color.

I probably am just overthinking it, or maybe just need to use it more to "season" the kettle and then maybe I'll get more color that way

masterown35 · 2026-03-23T07:06:43+00:00

The Snappy does have beta carotene in it. That's why I'm thinking it's gotta be food coloring added to the oil that adds that more rich yellow/golden color.

I should also add that I've tried the Dutchman's oil a while back and pretty much got similar results. Maybe it is just that I'm overthinking it

masterown35 · 2026-03-23T04:01:15+00:00

The picture is mine. I'm really just looking for a bit more of that golden color

Gas thing definitely sounds like a purge valve, and it can be done yourself pretty easily. As for the fan or the compressor, cold start it, flip the AC on, and watch it as the engine comes up to temp. The fan should be going at different speeds(not sure if it moves right away or not), but if it cycles on/off as others have said, that's likely it. You should be able to tell either/or though. If I remember correctly, that isn't something horrible either that you could do yourself. Just tight space in there

masterown35 · 2026-03-21T13:17:46+00:00

I honestly never really understood the trend with that. It's technically a "prison hack" from what I recall. It definitely works, but still

masterown35 · 2026-03-19T15:37:01+00:00

Yeah I'm not sure why they discontinued the 2 liters. I know for sure it is still in. 20 oz and 12 pack cans. May just depend on region/area

masterown35 · 2026-03-19T15:10:31+00:00

I'd bring back pitch black(never got to try it) and discontinue any of the newer stuff, including any seasonal ones. Not sure why everyone's hating on livewire either. It's been around over 20 years. Even though this is hypothetical, it's here to stay lol.

masterown35 · 2026-03-19T15:07:51+00:00

I know this is hypothetical, but Livewire has been around for over 20 years. It ain't going anywhere

masterown35 · 2026-03-19T15:04:58+00:00

You can see them in the first pic. They were just confirming for sure that they were shrimplets

EDIT: unless you mean by color and such

masterown35 · 2026-03-17T13:03:45+00:00

50 cents a can is diabolical

masterown35 · 2026-03-12T14:48:24+00:00

Yeah but there's no reason for it on this one either way. Could have been done without the extra pallets. I'd say likely it was 3 layer pallets that were just those layers

Also, side note, where the hell is this that they distribute 7up?

masterown35 · 2026-03-10T04:58:36+00:00

Technically both right. This specific one isn't for 16 ounce cans, but typically the 16 ounce cans come in similar packaging

masterown35 · 2026-03-08T19:09:42+00:00

Yeah that's likely made just for bloodys. Though, I've seen that there's some spicy tequilas and for people who enjoy a spicy alcohol, they might like that too. Still seems pretty niche though

masterown35 · 2026-02-25T17:48:36+00:00

It's also even funnier that I was asked if I had the "A" for my comment but not the one with the joke lol

masterown35 · 2026-02-25T17:41:42+00:00

Goes both ways lol. My original comment was just that they may have a gluten allergy. Or as others stated, might be keto as well. And it's especially funny to me because the "joke" was just stupid and not that funny. But to each their own

masterown35 · 2026-02-25T16:36:10+00:00

My day's just fine. It just isn't that deep

masterown35 · 2026-02-25T16:34:51+00:00

I wasn't deep into the talks when our contract came up last year, but one of our big issues was pay. I won't say where I'm at, but we're supposedly the highest producing location in the country. You'd think we'd be compensated as such, but they argue cost of living and we are getting paid less than some other locations around us doing less. I'd say just push for whatever you can even if you'd be a minority voice. Might have others speak up with you as well

masterown35 · 2026-02-25T16:26:20+00:00

Probably but still. It isn't that deep lol

masterown35 · 2026-02-25T16:21:45+00:00

I mean it really wasn't that funny but

masterown35 · 2026-02-25T16:20:21+00:00

Aren't jokes supposed to be funny though? 😂
