Yeah. They buy cheaper stuff, and charge more for it. I can’t stand the taste of their trash burrito shells they went to. Then, they charge twice as much for just a bean burrito and give you half the filling, even though it’s just super cheap refried beans.
If not for all the idiots, the phrase “eats more pussy than cervical cancer” would lose all its luster.
The products all do look the same. They’re just missing a specific logo or specific pattern. If you invented the ice cream cone, and then I made an ice cream cone that looked the same, only it had little triangle patterns instead of square patterns, it’s still a knock off.
It’s like how Oreos were blatant knock offs of Hydrox cookies. But the emblem in the middle of the cookie was different. Still a knock off.
It’s not your fault. The taco bell one really tucked me off, though. The first summer it was out was a limited time thing. It was actually a bit spicy. A lot more spicy than anything else a fast food chain had.
But then when they brought it back permanently it wasn’t half as spicy as it was. Taco Bell has like 5 fucking bland ass sauces now, and three of them taste about the same. What’s the damned point? FU taco bell. You could have left me with at least one option besides all your ketchup with tobacco sauce mixed in. No wonder I’ve only been there like 4 times in the last year.
I totally have some! But man, it’s kind of pricey for what it is. Not saying I don’t spend more on most of the hot sauces I buy, but still.
They’re usually knock offs. They aren’t trying to present themselves as an item made by Versace or whatever, but they knock off someone else’s idea or product.
That’s still a knock off by most any definition.
I feel this way about spicy things. Everything “hot” is just hot to the average schmuck from the Midwest. Anything spicier than that gets dumbed down to become that (like taco bell Diablo sauce) or becomes hard to find.
I really enjoyed when that Buldak 2x spicy chicken raman “challenge” became a thing, because that’s some great tasting raman and more in line with the normal amount of spicy I like to eat. Now I’m back to having to just order it online again.
I’m many places they’re called lightning bugs.
So when me and my brother were kids, we fed his pet bearded dragon some lightning bugs to see his mouth all lit up as he ate them. It did look super cool.
However, the next day his lizard was dead and there was a hole through the side of his stomach.
Turns out lightning bugs are super “fuck you up” bad and you shouldn’t feed them to anything.
Or 14 if you use knuckles in Arabic
Lol. Yeah. It may have been that one. Some single pane windows from 50 years ago.
Not at the range of things under 70 decibels.
Decibel scale is logarithmic, so down at around the 60 level, the difference between 30 and 60 is basically the difference between a normal conversation and someone whispering.
What the fuck… My co worker put a video of this… On snap like 11 hours ago from Aldi’s. Like, this could be a screen grab of it.
They’re 4 square cubes of clear ice and Aldi wants like $5 for them.
Japan is small, and LOL if you think most of China and india have great internet, and not just some of their more major cities.
It doesn’t work that way because of how completely spread apart the US is. It would take much more money per square mile and much, much, longer to do.
We aren’t the richest if we’re the most in debt and we just keep printing money with no backing and going further into debt and printing more to pay our debts because as soon as those debts stop getting their payments the dollar will completely collapse but the money we print is just causing inflation to get worse and worse, which completely tanks anyone’s savings for a retirement.
It isn’t getting better unless we have a different government. Israel campaigned to seat one of our last senators and now they’re completely removing campaign finance donation caps so it will get even worse.
I thought they did apologize for it?
I’ma be dead honest. It’s the same for a lot of rail systems and public transport. All of Switzerland is like 16,000 square miles. The continental US is 3,120,000 square miles. Laying out high speed fiber on such a small plot of land would be as easy as losing a fart in the wind.
Competing with China is too much work. Easier to game the system than it is to change a business.
Actually; even using your own Cambridge dictionary definition and examples you linked, it fully shows that I’m correct. Like, just look at the example you provided that talks about a cheap knock off of lord of the rings, for example.
If you aren’t able to understand that, then I guess you’re just a bit too dumb to comprehend.
