I assumed the Midwest was boring until I read that post. That's crazy. I myself am a farmer from the eighteenth century so I just eat potatoes and kale every meal.

I live in Southern Minnesota. There's nothing elegant about tater tot hot dish. It's affordable and you can fill it with vegetables, cheese, what have you. It's just comfort food on a budget, and it's pretty good for what it is. I never knew goons could get so pretentious and uppity about poo poo like this, considering the usual goon diet probably consists of fast food, dew and doritos. What I find baffling is that some of the grocery stores around here package tater tot hotdish up like someone would pay 8 dollars for a pound of it pre-made. Why would you sell that when you can just buy the ingredients at the store yourself and make it in half an hour?

The Midwest is a culinary wasteland. The biggest innovations in Midwestern cooking are a disgusting stretchy processed cheese and pizza casserole. If your region can find two separate ways to ruin pizza, you have really outdone yourselves. http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2013/02/13/171942864/one-city-s-love-affair-with-processed-cheese quote:One City's Love Affair With Processed Cheese There is no hope for these people. Behold the glory of midwest cuisine:  Look at it:  And savor the flavor:

How Rude posted:I never knew goons could get so pretentious and uppity about poo poo Really? You live in an area with money and resources, you get better food. You live in a poor area with fewer resources, you get less good food. This makes you bad and or boring. News at 11. My city has a crappy strip club and their marketing is generally pretty garbage (though let's be honest I doubt they care). They ran one ad that basically called all their customers losers in dead end lives (disheveled balding man wakes up to find his wife left him, drives beat up car to strip club. upon entering the door he has hair and a cool suit and all the ladies know him by name). They also had a radio ad with the line "You won't BELIEVE what these girls will do for money in this bad economy!" which, ugh. But again, it's not like they're going to lose business, they're the only strip club (that i know of) in town.

God drat, the midwest outside of Des Moines DOES suck when it comes to processed nonsense. Yuck. Tater tot casserole is basically a budget bomb of calories, so I get that, but that cheese stuff is yuck. This, on the other hand is culture.  http://www.zombieburgerdm.com/ https://twitter.com/ZombieBurgerDM/status/591632719207006208/photo/1

At work I just received a package - looks and feels like a book. Cover is blue sky and mountains. Open it up, and inside the cover is a photo of skydivers. EXTREME skydivers. With snowboards! One skydiver holds out his hand like I'm supposed to high five the page. But it's not a book, because over where the pages would be is a ~10" HD video screen and a speaker. It starts playing automatically and loudly. A bro dude does a backflip. The music is a "bodies hit the floor" knock off. Somebro backflips into a BASE jump. Quick cut to slo-mo high five Tokyo drifting. A mountain bike ziplines through fire. Wingsuit guy big air kiteboard backflip. Let us allow the persons to go down onto the ground. Surfing high five motocross backflip. Bikini ladies backflip. Blue sky. Corporate logo. What were they earnestly trying to sell me? Gopro cameras? Sporting goods? Or was it Oracle development contracting services? Surely not the latter. Surely not.

True fact I met the guy who invented these, and he developed the technology to promote his son's Disney tween aspirations This one's from a couple years ago so the screen's smaller, but:  We passed it around my office going "neat" and "this kid's creepy." Marketing success? GWBBQ posted:Did you take it apart and see if the screen has a standard connector on it? This one had a mini-USB-out so you could download the videos, and a headphone jack.

Some friends and I spent a few minutes chatting with him afterward. I can 100% confirm that he is just as weird and awkward in real life. He was also selling his World Champion hats for like $20, and this was before his 30 Rock hat shtick, so no one knew what the gently caress. No one bought one
