Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Maxperson]

I sometimes have conversations with people that remind me of one of my Army roommates. The first day we met, the first thing he says to me is "I'm not gonna lie man, I used to do a lot of drugs." Every single interaction with him just reinforced that initial statement. My favorite?

A friend stops by my room to let me know our ride was there and my roommate looks at his nametape on his uniform.

Roommate: "how do you pronounce that?"
Friend: "It's baw-za"
Roommate: "bay-za?"
Friend with a very confused look, slightly slower: "baw-za"
Roommate: "bay-za... I knew it. Is that German?"

I'm too much of a smartass. That interaction would have ended with...

Me: Sha Na Na.

Cant knock it until you rock it.

To be fair, I used to buy musubi from gas stations in Hawaii and those were pretty good. It's funny because I've both grown more and less adventurous with food as I've gotten older. New restaurant with food from some country I couldn't find on the map if my life depended on it? Sure, let's go! Gas station food that I have no idea how long it's sat there for? Hard pass.

That doesn't at all match my life experience.

Whole internet forums disagree...

Happening as we speak. Commentary includes whether the pickle juice adds to flavor or is just too soggy.

The pickle is absolutely essential to the full McRib experience. A McRib without pickle is like a day without sunshine.

Would $6.2 million set you up for life?

“Comedian,” by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan, was a phenomenon when it debuted in 2019 at Art Basel Miami Beach, as festivalgoers tried to make out whether the single yellow piece of fruit affixed to a white wall with silver duct tape was a joke or cheeky commentary on questionable standards...

I confess I am a woman of modest means. $350k for a decent house, $600 for a solid Steam Deck, and I'm just about set. Especially if I can weasel out of the taxes

As Mama Snarf used to remind me on the few occasions she would feel the need to clean the house because she was looking for something...

Only users lose drugs.

I've heard some of those stories, and well, seen the McRib sandwich. I however, rolled an 18 for wisdom and never tried one.

I have eaten 3. I was in a focus group that tasted them. I hated it.

Later, I tried one after they went into production. I still hated it.

I tried it one last time a decade+ ago to see if it had improved. It hadn’t.

Or a gas station sandwich for that matter.

The wisdom of that depends greatly on the sandwich & location. I’ve tried the wrapped premade ones, and consider them food of almost last resort, just edging out hot dogs on rollers.

But some gas stations take food seriously. In NOLA, lots of gas stations sell freshly made fried shrimp or oyster po’boys. Here in D/FW, I’ve noticed several that house mini-restaurants selling BBQ, Mexican/Tex-Mex, Indian, Nepalese and Afghani cuisine. Menus are limited, but you can see the food being made.
