P.S. When I saw Papa Bear's "I ate that blonde chick", I immediately thought of MTG, instead of Goldilocks!

Everyone who came down with Covid19 or had a friend, co-worker, relative die from the pandemic needs to remember Trump has said that if the total number of Americans who died stays under two million he will consider that "a win"!!!! (He really said that)

Yep! On the topic of toilet paper, I'm never forgiving the orange monster for mismanaging the supply chain during Covid. Seriously doubt if the White House or Mar-a-Lago was reduced to single-ply (or worse) in 2020.

I got lucky with that - I had bought the largest pack of Charmin the day before everything shut down - I had 2 months of use from it. Ditto, paper towels. :-)

Got a good laugh out of the Papa bear punchline.

I like Jack in the Box onion rings and usually they are gone before I get home. My favorite frys are from a small fish and chip place in Salem, Oregon.

I always thought the Charmin commercial was strange until I saw the Febreez one where the wife stands outside the bathroom door and sends her hubby back to spray it.

Cute red bears vs wife with room spray; I'll take the former every time.

Burger King has better fries, I think. Though I rarely eat fries - my stomach doesn't seem to like oil fried food as I got older. Oddly, it doesn't mind onion rings. P.S. I think Carls Jr has the best burgers, though, oddly, Del Taco's double cheeseburgers are really good, especially with bacon. And their fish tacos are surprisingly good, unlike the fish sandwiches at other places.

Re the e coli outbreak, oddly, it seems to have been caused by their uncooked sliced onions, which are really slimy and blah from sitting around. According to the article I saw, if they were cooked, the bacteria would have been killed.

I prefer McDonald's fries though I like Burger King's burgers better. I also like BK's onion rings. They're tiny onion rings.

BK's french toast sticks are pretty good. Don't have them very often, but I like them.

Commercial fries are coated before they are cooked, that might be the source of your problem, since it doesn't happen with onion rings, they usually just get breaded. Dextrose is often a component of the coating on commercial fries.

Excess consumption of dextrose can also worsen depression, as well as acne and other skin conditions. It can also cause symptoms such as frequent urination, thirst, nausea and vomiting, shortness of breath, and stomach pain when eaten in excess.

Thanks for explanation. I rarely order sides when I do buy fast food - the hamburger alone will fill me up. I guess the fish tacos, at least the ones at Del Taco, must be like the onion rings since they don't bother me.

This has nothing to do with the bears but I just had to post this cartoon:

My own feeling is that Trump will never not be news. 🤢
