Uh, I only associate that with Walmart. And/or Nazis. Or am I being redundant?

88 is one of the price codes for something discounted/discontinued. If something's priced 39.88 instead of .99.

Does anyone do that beside Walmart, though? I freely admit it could be confirmation bias on my part, but I really do associate that pricing approach with them.

Costco does.

I was already hinky about Costco seafood to the point I generally won't get it there. I probably wouldn't buy prepackaged octopus regardless, though. Because it's prepackaged, not because it's octopus, just to be clear.

Cooked tentacles like that are the way to go if you ever get some. Prepping a raw octopus is the worst.

From what I�m reading Costco had a high-end knockoff that had mixed reviews on Reddit, some people felt it was an overpriced �Whole Foods� kinda version of Laoganma

That's probably Fly By Jing, which is indeed a weak spin on Laoganma.

If you want a big jar and you want the Chinese version, not the export version (the one labeled "chili crisp" is the export), this is what you're looking for: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WGQYMM6 The export version isn't bad, it's just different. There are many types of Laoganma, sadly most of them aren't available outside China but try all the ones you can find.

I doubt Costco has it but your local Chinese grocery may.

I've never encountered durian before but I thought it was supposed to smell bad but taste amazing? So why are so many people saying it tastes as bad as it smells?

Because taste and smell are inseparable and it does indeed taste like rotting garbage. Don't be fooled.

They're old and starting to oxidize. You can still eat it, it's not rotten or anything. Or just cut those bits off.

How does it work that places like costco and walmart can sell generic meds for like $10 without insurance while you go to somewhere like CVS and it's over $100?

Gigantic, insane profit markups. Those cheaper places just aren't gouging as much.

Most medicines are not expensive to manufacture, the US has the most absurdly inflated medicine prices in the world.

I can't tell you the Costco recipe but Otafuku makes a good one. Decent chance Costco's is just that. I usually add some vinegar. If you have Bulldog sauce try mixing in a bit of sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, and vinegar and see how that strikes you.

Laoganma is heavy on the onion light on the chili, I don't get it

The "chili crisp" is an export version and has a bunch of onion in it. The Chinese version is labeled "fried chili in oil" in English.

In either case it's not hot sauce. If you want something Chinese that's mostly just hot try duolajiao. Should be able to find the Tantan Xiang brand at any Chinese grocery.

What a bunch of bullshit

For what it's worth I think I prefer the export version. The real problem is that in China there are like 20 kinds of laoganma and all of them are better than the basic rear end ones you can get in the US.

E: This is IMO the best one that is US available, the san ding: https://www.amazon.com/Laoganma-Lao-Gan-Ma-Sauces/dp/B087M9YW7G/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1Q6U4V5XVG90L

Bacardi isn't undrinkable but there's no reason to buy it. Plantation makes rums of similar styles that are much better and about the same price.

This reminded me that there was, years ago, a goon in the China thread who copped to buying jugs of half and half and drinking them straight up as he wandered around Guangzhou or wherever he was.

Not jugs, little cartons.

People made jokes which sure, but I kinda got it. When I lived in Korea there were no limes, after a couple of years I found a lime for the first time and just straight up ate the whole thing and was happy as can be. I never saw half and half in China so I can imagine having the same reaction if that's a thing you were into and you finally found some.

The UK uses both systems at random. This is more common than you might think, I've never been anywhere that is consistently metric and dropped all their traditional measurements.

Luckily I find all area measurements to make no intuitive sense so square feet, square meters, and pyeong are all equally meaningless.

Sounds like that might be a management decision. The Costco here has never moved stuff around significantly, I could navigate it with my eyes closed.
