This guy drove to McDonald's, found out they didn't have any sauce and so went to the next McDonald's and continued until he gave up. To use an entire loving tank of gas he either has to have a goddamned monster truck or spent literal hours and most of a day going from one to another.

I literally can't imagine caring this much about McDonald's or szechuan sauce no matter how much I liked the show it was marketed with.

It's only select McDonald's as well. Still pathetic though to be clear.

Nah, it was supposedly really popular in the 90s (it was a Mulan tie-in) but eventually just got phased out.

Just sugary "Asian-inspired" garbage squeezins, but this time marketed to thirty-something white dweebs who've destroyed their ability to taste actual flavors with decades of eating salty greasebomb fast food and 99¢ gas station cup noodles.

There was a Tumblr post I saw, with images of small McDonald's packets of the sauce being sold on EBay for ridiculous amounts of money. Meanwhile, anyone could dash to the supermarket and buy a whole bottle full to dip their chicken nuggets in, and only set themselves back about four or five dollars.

I don't know much about this cartoon, but I'm thinking that some of these fans might not be as clever as they keep insisting they are.

When I was 11, I was preventing the decline of Western values, unlike today's degenerate children.

Amazing how people can get over an 11 year old's texts, if they even happened.

Kids always aspire to be like the next age-group up, so preteens want to be like teens and mimic their behavior. So they date and have boy/girlfriends which amounts to hanging out with a certain person the way you do the rest of your friends and talking about how you're together.

It can actually be a good thing because a preteen dating another preteen is less likely to respond to advances from an older teen or adult. Pregnant 11, 12, and 13 year-old girls are getting that way because of adults, not from holding hands with other middle schoolers.

I couldn't bring myself to read that but when I were a lad they only started learning that stuff (at school) at 13 years old. So did the boys of course. And they still do.

No, you're not supposed to capitalize flag. It's ridiculous. As ridiculous as this whole publicity stunt that cost taxpayers at least $200,000.

The only thing I know of "keeping house" when I was 11 is to turn off the playstation when it's finished. Throw everything in the Big Bin unless it's metal. Call dad when the angry calls started. Put back the books I've read.

All I knew about cooking then was how to turn on the rice cooker and how to tell when the kettle finished boiling.

Man, I was a privileged, spoiled 11-year-old. Can't even keep chickens alive.

He plays for the dreamers that forgot how to dream, and the lovers that forgot how to love.
Also IIRC Lucille specifically set up her own production house so her and her husband could sell their TV Show idea that would eventually become I Love Lucy, and then they approved Star Trek for production as well. Lucille Ball? More like Lucille Baller. Yup. Without I Love Lucy, Star Trek may never have become a thing. also not only was Lucille Ball responsible for allowing Star Trek to exist her studio also did the Mission: Impossible TV show. She was way more than a dated sitcom. Not quite "Hedy Lamarr inventing sonar" impressive, but it's up there.
