don't you be talkin no shit bout no popeyes





One opened in reno a few years ago and it's literally the only chain food I ever cared about, because I was around when it was like 5 locations, based in new orleans and spicy as shit and awesome. So I dragged a friend into it and we chucked our food after like 3 bites. Somewhere along the line someone decided sugar batter was somehow preferable to cayenne pepper. Shit tasted like doughnuts

no context freebie below:
Grossest shit I ever put in my mouth, and I'm from florida

Speaking of Popeye’s, I just ate two spicy thighs and a biscuit in terminal A at DFW.
I mean, the last three times I ate here, it was exceedingly mediocre, so I figured “What could go wrong?”

Well, I am pleased to report that they must have listened to customer feedback, because it was genuinely pretty good and spicy, super fresh, the biscuit fluffy, and service fast. I’m kinda gob-smacked, it tasted like it did fifteen or twenty years ago.
Can recommend again, as I felt the same as woo the last time or two.

Eating that before getting on a plane?

You're braver than I thought.

That's the problem with fast food at airports. It should be ILLEGAL to bring it on planes. Once in that metal tube, it smells nasty and it carries all over the place. Nothing worse than someone next to you with a greasy bag of McDs.

I regularly used to fly home at the end of a work week and have a portion of korean bbq from a place near the office with me that I'd eat on the plane :D

Delicious, but definitely had an aroma.

AI influencers are making their secretive creators tens of thousands of dollars a month

Fanvue hosts AI-generated influencers on its adults-only platform, and it could lead to a future of completely artificial, virtual girlfriends.

I like this idea for a few reasons, but I'm not convinced it is a perfect solution. I think in terms of personal safety and anonymity an AI influencer isn't subject to issues associated with being recognizable in public. Also, in theory, an "unattractive" person could create a popular and lucrative AI influencer without needing to go through a physical transformation (surgical or otherwise).

Of course every tool is a weapon if you know how to hold it. It certainly opens up the door to "unrealistic" beauty standards which humans will feel compelled to chase, and it could certainly allow some individuals to develop ideas about interpersonal behavior which wouldn't carry over to less-augmented reality.

Have you tried cereal for dinner?


The cereal category has always been quite affordable, and it tends to be a great destination when consumers are under pressure,” Pilnick said. “If you think about the cost of cereal for a family versus what they might otherwise do, that’s going to be much more affordable.”

His advice hasn’t landed well with people frustrated by spending 26% more on groceries since 2020; on social media the campaign is being seen as insensitive.

CNBC host Carl Quintanilla asked Pilnick if encouraging weary customers to eat cereal for dinner could “land the wrong way.”
Pilnick thought the opposite.

“In fact, it’s landing really well right now,” Pilnick said. “Cereal for dinner is something that is probably more on trend now, and we would expect to continue as that consumer is under pressure.”
