No one's mentioned what happens should the toothpaste mints melt.

I thought of that. And they're specified after-dinner mints too so unless you leave them in the freezer good luck explaining why you thought a bowl of toothpaste would make a refreshing palate cleanser!

Also I cannot help but imagine that the overlap between people who think that's a good idea and people who have enough friends to host a dinner party is vanishingly small.

I can only hope the rather alarming gap in the middle still adheres to an even step height as us humans are horrid walking up stairs to the point where a very very slight deviation will cause us to stumble.

Just eyeballing it, it looks like it does, but of course that doesn't necessarily mean a goddamn thing.

e: vvv which makes it moot whether it's spaced evenly or can support weight, I guess. But it also means it's not really a staircase, just an art piece that looks like one.

gently caress this guy. Just ask for fresh fries. Asking for no salt assumes that you are doing so for health reasons and the station/fry scoop must be cleaned and it's a huge hassle during a busy rush hour. If you want them fresh just ask for them fresh.

As a guy who cooked fries at McDonald's for approximately a year, I'd like to append "with a rusty carving knife" to "gently caress this guy".

Back when I worked in food service we would just drop the fries back in the fryer and shake them around for a couple of seconds to get the salt off them.

That doesn't really work, the fries are cooked in so much grease that salt clings to them. They wouldn't let us do that for health reasons, which I totally get.

I wish we'd been allowed to do it your way or that it worked, though. gently caress cooking fries.

I ask for unsalted fries exclusively and unrepentantly. When I'm ordering french fries, I'd prefer to receive french fries with some salt, instead of the standard Pile Of Salt with some french fries.

It's fine if you legitimately want fries with less/no salt. Dumbfucks just do that so they can get fresh fries and handing someone an order of no-salt fries only to see them go dump a mountain of salt on it is a harrowing experience and a huge "gently caress you" to the guy you made go out of his way for you.

I get diet coke when I have McDonalds/KFC/BK, even if I go for a super duper fatboy special sized meal. I'm under no illusions as to the unhealthiness of the food (and tend to only eat it when drunk or hungover), but would rather avoid the additional 200cal of sugar on top of that.

not fat

Yeah, I get that there may be a legitimate reason for getting a diet drink even with a huge meal, but it's kind of become iconic of American lethargy and oblivious-ness.

I don't get why people think its hilarious to get a diet coke with your mc donalds meal. A super sized regular coke is 410 more calories. That's a lot of calories and getting a diet coke instead is a major impact on the amount of calories for that meal. Its as many calories as a medium french fry.

It's kind of an "in for a penny, in for a pound" thing. If you're already eating terrible food it seems like there's not much point to trying to cut calories on the drink.

It's pretty stupid, but as I said earlier it's iconic at this point.

It's produced by your own body and flows directly into your mouth with no contact with anything else. What's gross about that? Do you also dislike the taste of your palate?
