For me, it depends on the type. Up here in the Northwest when Walla Walla Sweets are in season, I'll use a thick, whole slice of onion. When it's only yellows that are available, I'll generally slice them pole-to-pole.
Cool whip - Frozen or just refrigerated.
Pickles of any size, shape, or variety.
Campbell's Cream of Chicken soup - prepared with milk.
I'm surprised that we've made it this far without anyone mentioning that the CEO of Starbucks screwed the corporation's hometown out of its 40+ years of NBA basketball.
That's not a comment on the products Starbucks put out, but something many Seattleites are still sore about.
And how can you rip SBUX without mentioning the horrible, horrible food?
Ah...that makes sense. Thanks!
I did end up making a blueberry-gin (tanqueray) sorbet yesterday, and it's pretty tasty, if a bit over-sweetened. Refining the recipe is a fantastic reason to make more, in my humble opinion.
...and maybe make it into a sorbet, since I don't have a mold that has any thingies, let alone the what-is-apparently-elusive 10-thingy mold.
I'm fresh out of moonshine. Vodka? Everclear? What proof liquor should I be working with? I'm tempted to give it a whirl with gin...
I'm surprised the San Jose episode didn't make the list. Richman does a lot of eating and it's always impressive, but watching Joey Chestnut take down a 5-pound burrito in under 4 minutes is absolutely amazing.
+1 for the Casal Garcia Vinho Verde. My wife and I buy it by the case. Always pleases a crowd, who are (pleasantly) surprised by the tartness and little touch of fizz.
If I buy my lunch at a shop on the street, then take it back to my office on the 30th floor to eat, have I taken my sammich to the next level?
Pretty much anything Aron Sanchez says on any Food Network show. "Flavor profile," "take it to the next level," etc.
What should I be lightly beating two cups of together in a bowl? Am I not reading properly?
Drop a couple lemon slices into a highball/pint/whatever glass and muddle.
Fill glass with ice and add:
2 oz Pimm's No. 1 Cup
0.5 oz basil cucumber mint simple syrup (recipe link below):

Fill glass with ginger ale.

I got a piece of the Tom Douglas coconut cream pie about a week ago at Lola. FANTASTIC. Best part--it was FREE because it was my birthday.
I was recently introduced to the Hercules Double IPA. Outstanding!
How about some love for the good ol' American macrobrew? Miller High Life (bottle, not can) has become my go-to summer beer.
Depends on the quality of the pizza. If it's pizza from a national chain or some other run-of-the-mill outfit, I'll load up. If it's something good from an artisan outfit (where it's worth tasting the finer points of the crust, sauce, and cheese), I'll go minimalist.
Just curious as to what people think about the glorious creation that is the meatball sandwich. Is it better to have several smaller meatballs in the sandwich or to get one giant meatball and make it more of an open-face, knife-and-fork job?

The Mufo at Salumi in Seattle is awesome. But then, the PB& (grape) J on wonder bread I had while fishing over the weekend made me giddy. So, of course, time and place have a lot to do with it.
