I tried a sample of it and thought it was pretty disgusting. I let my kids try it and they just pulled a really disgusted face and didn't say a single word. Not sure who the target market is for that thing, but it wasn't anyone I could see who tried the sample.

I figured out some expert food court tech:

Buy a hotdog and soda (with refill) and the cup of plain vanilla ice cream. Spoon half the ice cream into the empty soda cup then add Pepsi from the fountain. Instant cola float, worked perfectly.

My boyfriend described it correctly: it doesn't taste like mango, it tastes like dried mango. No idea if it as reconstituted from dry or if maybe the freezing process makes it taste that way but that's absolutely the flavor profile.

Have a flat tire but the other three are due to be replaced anyways. A set of Indy 500s from Costco are like $200 cheaper than any other tire dealership around right now at the members only price.

I was so pissed the last time I needed tires. I went to Costco and they said they didn't carry the specific size I needed in any of their brands and that it wasn't even made anymore. I ended up having to have the stupid dealership replace them all and it was like 900 dollars. tucking sucked.

What do you even drive? Costco let me order tires from their other warehouses to be shipped to the store I needed and even would put on tires shipped to them from something like tiresplus.

This I believe, they don't carry a huge selection of battery fitments.

Funny enough, for a long time if I looked my truck up on their site, it would claim they didn't carry the battery, despite literally using a picture of an H8 battery on the front page of their battery finder. But now it does say they do carry the battery I bought there two years ago!

Walmart is much better for car batteries. They have a private label (EverStart) with 2, 3, 4 year warranties, but they're all built identically so the default 2-year is the best value.

They even have their own site to look up the right size (group): https://www.battfinder.com/

There's also a trick, if you're not returning the old battery for a core charge, you're still allowed to take the receipt straight to customer service and have them refund the core charge.

You could spend $100 on 1 steak. Or buy a package of steaks with beer and / or whiskey. Choice seems clear.

Or you could spend $100 on 1 steak and $80 on some whiskey and $200 on some lego and $500 on a kayak and $1200 on a gazebo.

You'll want to sear the gallbladder about 30 seconds each side, then finish in the oven at 325° for 20 minutes.

You can get your money back if you tell Costco that it smelled bad. You don't need to return the gallbladder to the store
