Alzheimer’s is such a cruel disease. I’m sorry.

Probably my grandma so she can meet my kids and my dogs. She'd have really enjoyed them.

Yes, what a great episode. I'm loving this show, and I don't mind the weekly release because it allows the impact to weigh for a while. Don't get me wrong, I hate it at the end of the episode, though.

For me, if you notice the mayo, it's too much. It should be just enough so your sandwich isn't dry, etc.

Nice! Sounds like an awesome time, and so cool the kiddo was into it! I think Sabaton headlined when I got to see Marty Friedman, so that's funny. I also don't know anything about them except they enabled me to see Marty. Speaking of Marty and your daughter wanting to see a pit... Megadeth just announced a North American tour. Maybe check for close dates? The Megadeth show I went to.. um five to ten years ago, was one of my favorites, and I wasn't even in to them yet. They're here September 3rd, outdoor venue. I wonder of anybody starts mosh pits out on the lawn. Are you seeing them this time? Unless they announce more dates closer to me, I doubt it, but I'm not too upset. I've seen them multiple times, including both a packed smallish venue (2,000 ish capacity) all the way to the Big 4 of Thrash show in California with 50,000+ and others somewhere in between. Each had its pros and cons. The smaller packed one was one of the most fun concerts of my life. There were no "casual" Megadeth fans seeing them live circa late 00s/early 10s, so it was a very enthusiastic crowd. The pit was a blast. I got knocked flat on my ass 3 times, and I'm not a small man. I was too scared to go near a pit at Big Four. There were some BIG BOYS there, and I saw norse gods carried out unconscious before the sun event went down there, so yeah.

It's not a spin-off, it was a substitute made when ingredients for mayonnaise were scarce and expensive due to war shortages. It may have the texture of mayo, but no where near the taste and it should in no ways be considered mayo. It is a dressing substitute that should have been retired once the shortages were alleviated. People used it only because they couldn't get real mayo, and once real mayo was available, there's no reason to use it ever again. I mean if you choose to use it, good on you, but don't ever try to serve it to me and tell me its mayo, or say you are putting mayo on something and then use Miracle Whip. -M That's interesting. I didn't know the history behind it. Thanks for sharing that. My comment was more in terms of it's current usage where regular mayo is plentiful. Miracle Whip has a distinct flavor profile and a tanginess unlike a more neutral mayo. In essence, we agree that one should not try to pass one off as the other because they are absolutely not the same.

I'm not on Team "Miracle Whip is Disgusting", but it's definitely not interchangeable with any standard mayonnaise. It's a spinoff.

Totally agree. Some things are irreplaceable, and you just can't beat the real thing. I feel like the more general the product, the likelier it is to be on par with the brand.
Super specialized things like colas with their unique recipes are harder to replicate. There is only one Coke.

Yup. From what a friend of mine tells me (he's a senior manager for a major grocery chain), their "home brand" orange juice is made by the same company that makes a certain big brand. It's just the packaging that changes. This is very often the case with a lot of products. It also makes sense. Which is more likely: every grocery store has their own production process, staff, infrastructure, etc, for every single item leading to multiple redundant supply chains, or the same guys who sell milk to TG Lee also sell it to John Q. Regional grocery store in a different carton? They're not all the same, though. Aldi brand "Doritos" are like 3 stale corn chips in a trench coat, and I almost chipped a tooth on a peanut shell in their knock-off Chips Ahoy soft batch before.

Nice! While not my favorite group out there, they have very much earned their status as metal gods, and if I had the option I'd definitely go to see the legends in person. Cool you get to do that with your daughter, too. Always nice to find a common interest to bond with the kiddos on.
Definitely at least try the earplugs. I've recently read that pulling on your earlobe while you put them in and letting go helps them stay.

I’m going to be the pebble in your shoe and say as much as everyone professes to not want a political thread again …. I think it's less nobody is ever tempted to discuss it but more that we realize it's probably for the best it's not an option here. Here in the UK, Aldi and Lidl are budget supermarkets. Major supermarkets are Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, and Asda. I use whichever one suits me. I am amused by the fact that, in recent times, the major supermarkets are listing their budget competitors’ prices on their website. I’m doing an online shop with Sainsbury’s, and I need to buy some Hovis white bread. They are promising to match the price (£1.39) of Aldi. You know, budget supermarkets must be loving the fact that their major competitors are giving them so much free advertising. If I was the CEO of either Aldi or Lidl, I would be thanking my lucky stars that the prices of my products are being plastered all over my competitors’ websites. Such a policy must - surely? - be directing some traffic to the smaller supermarkets. Man, I used to live near an Aldi in the US. I loved them. Unbeatable on staples and special buys/seasonal items. Some of their generic of brand items were questionable, but there's no reason to pay 400% markup on all-purpose flour, sugar, etc. They were also hard to beat on organic items, too.
