If I recall correctly they do still make the giant boxes of Rainbow Nerds which are all the flavors mixed up together. But dammit I want a mouthful of all the same thing, how hard is that to understand

I don't know if you can really call it "racist", as the company was just riffing off the famous Charlie Chan character, much like what they had done with "Alexander the Grape" and "Johnny Apple Treats". I guess they didn't dare do "Jack Lemonhead" or "Lucille Atomic Fireball". I know that later they did rename everything "Grapeheads" and "Cherryheads" and even "Appleheads" but I dunno how long that lasted.

Data Graham posted:And here I had warm thoughts about Ferrara because they made Lemonheads and also Alexander the Grape and the hilariously racist Cherry Clan. Both of which I liked better than Lemonheads anyway but now they probably don't exist either, huh I was incorrect, it turns out that Ferrara and Ferrero are two different candy companies, Ferrara makes nerds, Ferrero destroyed Butterfinger.

"Anything less racialized than 'chan' we could use here?" "I've never heard 'clan' used problematically. Could be that." "Excellent. Roll out the Clan. But make sure they're very obviously political-cartoon-level Chinese cherries." "Well doy"

Brawnfire posted:The gently caress is with that anyhow? I remember so many flavors, Nerds were legit one of my favorite candies and it seems like a no-brainer just to crank those sugary fuckers out in every possible flavor but instead they switched to mutant varieties and like two flavors. Nerds Rope was the only worthwhile product of this. I don't know why they switched for the smaller boxes but every grocery store I go to still has larger boxes of the full mix of rainbow nerds flavors, in the section with boxed candies like dots/runts/etc. e: beaten on account of there being a mysterious new page existing

I don't know what meat that is but there's a Chinese dish that is pork mince and preserved vegetables steamed like that and it's delicious. Like the filling from a dumpling but served as a main course.

Hmm, I was in love with the double decker pizza they had before that, but I don't remember a triple decker version. Now I'm kinda thinking there was a sweet spot earlier in the 90s where we went to Pizza Hut more regularly, before my siblings came along and we stopped eating out so much.

Ate a burger with grilled cheezers instead of bread at a bar in Jersey after a cross country race it is amazing if you have the metabolism to tackle it and its not made at a fast casual chain where all meals come in microwaveable bags. Not with a gun to my head would I eat the Friendly's version is what Im saying.

I ate a burger with grilled cheeses as the bun at a minor league baseball game in Virginia. The grilled cheese was made on the flat top where they cooked all the burgers and was completely soaked through with grease and eating it made me want to die. I'd eat the Friendly's version.
