Nah. It's just frying twice. I'd imagine McDonald's does that purely for logistical reasons.

Not to mention all of the other poo poo they add to their fries.

Nah even the triple cooked chip technique requires freezing or similar after the first cook.

Never heard of a triple cook.

Has anyone ever... no... they couldn't, it's impossible. Has anyone done a quadruple cook? :ohdear:

The whole point is to have a warm moist creamy center with a crispy outside, freezing would help break down make ice crystals that break down the middle so I'll buy it

Woah, yeah. $2.70 off. Also the Fitcrunch bars are $6 off. I might have to make a Costco run soon.

I have been waiting for those to go on sale again, I’m going to stock the hell up. Starting kitchen renovations in about a month so protein bars are going to go from ‘breakfast once or twice a week’ to ‘probably daily’.

Gonna be annoying walking home with like eight boxes of them, but I’ll do it for savings.

I bought a TV 2 years and 2 months ago and just signed myself on the warranty website after it died. No issues waiting to set it up. Made the claim - let's see if it's a pain!

I had to do this with a 3 year old LG OLED that started to die (a band of discoloration developed at the top). I forgot the warranty existed until I went to look at my old email from where I ordered it. I think ordering online helped streamline it since they sent a corresponding email directly from SquareTrade when I bought it saying I was already registered.

The claim was quite simple. There was some back and forth where I had to send pictures and a video of the TV, but in 3-4 days they cut me a check for the price of the latest LG OLED model and said keep the dying TV. They have some options where they send you a TV directly which confused me, but it's not mandatory. So now the old one is in the bedroom until the problem gets bad enough to dump it, and a brand new TV is in the living room.

It's, as far as I understand, important for sashimi because of that too. (on top of making sure parasites are killed off).

Had the cookie. There's no practical reason for it to be that big unless you're sharing, but I don't have enough self control for it to survive the car ride home.

I guess it was good but it was only worth it for as long as it was still warm and crispy.

e: also somehow my 5 year old, 40 pound son ate 2 full Costco corn muffins for breakfast the other day. I'll never understand kids and the bottomless pits that are their stomachs.

Sounds like someone is having a growth spurt. It's a good thing you go to church, because you'll need Kirkland sized packages just to feed the little monster (my 8 year old is going through one now)

went this weekend and had the worst pepperoni slice. paper thin crust in the middle so no structural integrity, and left an entire plate of grease behind. lame.

they also didn't have the Mission tortilla chips or the PB pretzels. (or maybe they did and they were just back in frozen or something, who knows)

I keep reading this as smegmaglutide.

It works but there's huge problems with rebound weight gain when you stop, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's loving with your expression of GLP1 receptors with continuous use.

I usually get the huge 5 pound bag of Las Fortunitas tortilla chips, mostly because I like that they put a minimal amount of salt on it.

I didn't see any tortilla chips, which is why I bet they were just back in produce or some poo poo.

I really like the Kirkland Signature tortilla chips. I recall only having the Mission Tortilla Strips available at some point and they sucked for what I was trying to do (basic nachos).
Can someone provide a tier list?
