I know folks who prefer the cheeseburger because it tastes better than the double cheeseburger.

I have to say the McDouble works for me because the one slice of cheese allows for the meat flavor to come through more than on the double cheeseburger.

I know this is off the subject, but the new Angus Mushroom & Swiss is good!

I want to know why the double cheeseburger was cheaper than the cheeseburger for a while. does anyone remember that? one was $1 and the other $1.29

I disagree about a lot of the candy items mentioned here.
I, for one, LOVE the fun-sized (or mini, if you prefer) candies. It's a tiny bit of something insanely tasty, enough to give pleasure without causing tummy pains. When I was a young'un and I went trick-or-treating, one house gave out mini Clark bars. Yum-o-delish! I polished those off first.
I think the chewy peanut butter kisses taste absolutely divine.
Candy corn, I think is plenty of tasty, as are the candy pumpkins made of candy-corn base. Think little dollops of hardened cake-frosting.
As for apples and raisins, those I didn't mind in the least.

However, some items, I do agree about.
Toothbrushes -- a boring reminder
Religious pamphlets -- disappointing and WEIRD to boot.
Packages of "normal" food -- oh, for crying in Manhattan, what kid wants to receive a can of baked beans or a box of oat bran in his little plastic jack-o-lantern.
One time I received cough drops -- and not the Ludens or Pine Bros or Smith Bros or F&Fs, which are tasty and could pass as hard candy (as can the Ricolas). These were nasty little green pellets that were -- and tasted like -- MEDICATION. Like I said, for crying in Manhattan! For crying in Manhattan, Chicago, and San Francisco

Oh well. At least I didn't get a ROCK

I agree Adam...I think the whole schitck is exactly that....a schtick. If thier food was any good maybe I'd be more inclined to eat there again.

They're just trying to tap into the whole shock/controversy thing...and unfortunately that does work. Those news stations can't get enough of it. If you really want to dislike them watch the video on their homepage (How to Kill a Giant):

Amen "omnomnom"! (I'm from Mich, too. Same area)

I am very excited to know that this camp offers exceptional cooking training programs for the kids and teens. there are very few camps that recommend such types of cooking classes and cuisines preparation experiential training courses. Kids who have special needs can join this camp for achieving life skills. There are lots of certified summer camps, boot camps, wilderness camps as well as Christian camps for children. Youth Christian camps offer spiritual programs. These camps offer excellent treatment programs for them in caring, safe and spirituality based environment for their complete growth.

Yeah, a wine hangover can be pretty awful. BF used to join me in whatever wine I was partaking of when we first got together, but he drinks very fast and he's used to the alcohol levels in his Sam Adams or Sierra Nevada (except for the occasional excursion into Arrogant Bastard). He'd wake up crippled pretty routinely and eventually switched back to just beer drinking.

I try to have a large glass of water for every glass of wine I'm drinking and try not to have more than two glasses of wine in an hour. That's in an ideal world. When I screw that up and realize that I've put away too much wine before bed and not enough water, I'll have a glass of water and some aspirin before sleeping and try to stay up an extra hour to let stuff percolate through. The next day (if I can sleep in), I'll want something spicy with a starchy base. If I'm functional enough to cook, then I'll make grits with ham and habanero cheddar stirred in. Otherwise, a burrito place just opened up in a five minute walk from our place. If I can't bring myself to leave the house, I usually get Thai or Indian delivered. Spice + Food Coma + nap = hangover recovery.

Toast with grape jelly and lots of water.

They're tastey but they're like 700 calories each!!!!!!

I know it's a little late but I'm glad I'm not the only one with strange food phobias. I won't eat condiments, cooked veggies (except corn), seafood, anything with a sauce, cheese that's the slightest bit warm, milk on my cereal (because it gets soggy), salad dressing, or anything warm and mushy (mashed potatoes, thick fries, etc). Also I don't mix some things like cheese and crackers... the texture is just gross. Oh and most breakfast foods. The only thing I'll eat for breakfast is fruit, a bagel with a little bit of butter, or cereal. If I'm served any of this I'll starve instead of eating it.

One of the first cooking experiences I had was making some sort of cornflake coated banana thing that we either fried or baked or maybe just ate...it was a long time ago, in a kitchen far far away...well not THAT far away...off topic I can also remember some concoction of brown sugar and walnuts spread over graham crackers...

we always just add the butter to a boxed brownie mix. comes out fudgy and delicious!

@ hungrychristel - apparently i am getting it from the wrong source. ive never heard of anyone eating just the buds and enjoying it. interesting.
