Do they somehow market to mostly women or something?

To add to what others have been saying.

I ran a print/copy center near a Chick-fil-a and what I learned was that they actually had a local promotions budget and full-time position. I had to create/print up fliers for all sorts of vaguely religious things, weekly special events and guests, monthly "daddy-daughter date nights" and all sorts of other "wholesome" evangelical Americana


They have their base hook, line, and sinker, and it was never about the chicken

The real crime is sometime while I was living abroad Wendy's changed the spicy chicken sandwich and it is now merely okay instead of a thing of beauty.

Wendy's full out taking spicy chicken nuggets is at least partly responsible for me going pescatarian. There was no better fast food item anywhere! PERIOD!

White Castle is the best because it's 1:46 am and it's across the street from the bar. When sober and/or in daylight, White Castle is clearly not the best.

White Castle is the best because they have veggie burgers and Impossible burgers.

Let's be fair here, if you make homemade candy, corn syrup is a cheat code for not loving it up. It keeps the sugar from crystallizing out as it cools, which is really important.

Using corn syrup to make candy is totally normal, like you say the chemistry of mixing the two works much better. It's candy, it's not healthy.

Also corn syrup isn't the same as high fructose corn syrup.

Supposedly, if corn syrup scares you that much, you can substitute glucose syrup on a 1:1 basis and get the same results. But I've never seen glucose syrup on the shelf at a grocery store.

It used to be that corn syrup was glucose syrup. As in glucose syrup has glucose, maltose, and other longer-chain sugars from the incomplete breakdown of starch, usually corn starch. In Canada, at least, corn syrup now tends to have a blend of non-modified corn syrup and HFCS. Apparently Karo is an exception, and they don't use fructose in their standard syrups.

Cleveland Clinic, one of the top in the nation, was stuck with a McDonald’s in their cafeteria for years. I forget how they did it, but iirc the Clinic did manage to get them out before their lease was up.

I used to buy cigarettes for my dad when I was 6 and 7. They were in front of the counter at the grocery store in the hamlet we lived in and I could just grab them myself.

Haven't bought any since.

You're actually supposed to let cheese get to room temperature when you eat it, frozen cheese just sounds like pain.

Machine-spun cotton candy was invented by not one, but two dentists, separately and about twenty years apart! :eng101: (The second guy invented a machine and patented it.)
