i read red pistachios were red because that was how they did it in Iran where most of them were grown. something... happened and the USA stopped buying Iranian nuts and eventually stopped dyeing American grown nuts red. i don't wanna eat shelled pistachios. cracking them is part of the ritual of eating the things.

American grown pistachios had spots on the shells so they dyed them red to cover that up.

I've been eating Iranian pistachios since the early 1980s and today is the first time I have ever heard about "red pistachios", they're 100% an American thing.

The low amount of contact time a beverage would have inside the glass isn't really going to leech lead into it. Like...I guess don't have your main drinking glasses have lead in them, but you want to break out the fancy leaded-crystal wine glasses on NYE? Go for it.

empty baggie posted:They're still just called Bajas around here (NE TN). I first heard the term drug rug a couple of years ago from someone who had moved here from up north (which some might refer to as a carpetbagger, but that's more 1890's than 1990's, although it still keeps with the theme of the thread). I learned Drug Rug from the commentary for Mallrats as the not Brody guy was wearing one.

It would help to distinguish that "racist" is not the same as "bigoted" or "malicious" and it is entirely possible for any demographic to knowingly or unknowingly participate in racism against their own demographic. In this case it's really kind-of on the edge for truly awful, because the character himself is fairly specific, but the music and the fact that he's routinely the only Asian the show has is what tips it over. And that's not entirely fair, because it's a cartoon with only so many characters and it can't realistically afford to be multi-faceted and still let a stock character be a stock character. But all the same when it's the minority demographic on the show it can't help but bear that disproportionate weight. It's the Black Widow problem from the Avengers. Aside from the fact that she was always underwritten, as a character she was unfairly burdened with the responsibility of representing all women solely because she was the only woman in the front of the team. Her generic stock archetype doesn't come across as that awful when there's even 2-3 other women to contrast her with, but when it's just her then yeah it starts to come across as kind-of terrible.

I was born in 87 so Eureeka's Castle is a bit of a nostalgic fever dream for me. I can definitely remember watching and loving but having no idea what I was watching. I'm a big fan of puppets so I'm betting it was that. Not surprisingly I grew up to love Goosebumps.

I grew up in extremely not-diverse Appalachia and in 2nd grade may have only seen a small handful of non-white people in real life. We had black neighbors move in and I asked if they were from Gullah Gullah island.

Man, I HATED Eureka's castle. In fact, all of Nick, Jr. By the time Nick, Jr. started (I guess like 89) I was already too old for it. It was definitely for like 3-6 year-olds at most, even that might be pushing it. I get that Nick, Jr. would air during the day when older kids were at school (hence the cut-off really being like 5, since by then you're in kindergarten) but what really made me mad as a kid, is that EVEN IN SUMMER it was airing in the middle of the day! gently caress you, Nickelodeon! You know all kids are on summer break, so put the fuckin Looney Tunes on during the day, God-damnit! In the summer, before I was old enough to really watch ant MTV or Comedy Central, the hours of noon to three during summers felt FOREVER. At least in the mornings I had poo poo like The Price is Right (why we all loved that as ten year-olds, I don't know), Supermarket Sweep (again...why I loved it, idk) and other game shows... but then once noon hit, the broadcast networks all switched to soap operas. I was too young to really enjoy the vast majority of any other cable channels, and there was only so much Nintendo I could take. Nickelodeon SHOULD have been my refuge, but that God-drat fuckin' Face screwed me every time.

DrBouvenstein posted:Man, I HATED Eureka's castle. In fact, all of Nick, Jr. This brings back memories. I’m a little younger than you and was the right age for Nick Jr when it launched but a few years later during the summer was babysat by my aunt. I was like 7 and her kids were like 2 and 3 so they still watched Nick Jr on the one TV in their house, and I just remember loathing that stupid talking face thing. I was much too old and cool to have that thing talking at me. Edit: thinking back, I know there’s much said about it now but drat did nobody care about screen time when I was a kid. The TV would be on practically all day. Now that watching is more intentional (like, you pick the show) we never really have it on just for background noise or whatever.

Nah, people still have it on for background noise while they browse twitter or play games on their phone. They just choose a random this on Netflix rather than flipping to a channel they tolerate My mom had a daycare she ran out of our house and my brother was 7 years younger than me so I remember a lot of Nick Jr. I mostly tolerated it. It was whatever. It was better than watching grownup shows, I guess. Little Brlear was cool for helping me go back to sleep on days that I was home sick because it was super chill and quiet. It wasn't until I was an adult that I realized they played that show around when parents would put their kids down for a nap and thought that was really clever I don't know. Stockholm syndrome I guess

Too old to like the real "kiddy" stuff, but too young to be allowed to go 100% on my own outside my yard. If my older brother or sister didn't want to go anywhere? Neither was I.
