There's one or two of those in our hood. While it's fun to watch, it doesn't taste good and is for dips.
This place is across the street from us and is fantastic.
il laboratorio del gelato
Dedicated to producing the very finest ice cream and sorbet, il laboratorio del gelato opened in August 2002 on Orchard Street in Lower Manhattan.

I just assumed that "hand-dipped" referred to the person serving you the ice cream. Like mostly dipshlt teens.

Most of it doesn't qualify, such as Daity Queen or McDonald's.
You have a few pages to help you figure it out.

All the timeAnyone else in this place seen "hand dipped ice cream" may times?OK
I have never seen a menu or sign in my life that says "hand dipped ice cream". It either says "ice cream" or "soft serve ice cream"
I have, many times. Your anecdotal evidence does not mean it doesn't exist.

McDonald's ice cream is a complete myth....nobody's ever seen a working machine so it's a figment of our imaginations

Huge Thrifty ice cream fan here. There is a restaurant in Orange County that somehow still gets their ice cream. Chocolate Malted Crunch + Mint Chip FTW

Ok to get this back on track and away from your dumb icecreamchat ....
At a convenience/coffee type store
1) have your damn rewards/payment app open and signed into before you get to the freaking register
2) Busy - multiple people - exit from the right side door, enter from the right side door. Stop holding up traffic because you come out the closest door to you. WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY PEOPLE....
There is a reason there are 2 doors!!!!
*Note I am not referring to any single door entry

how about cashing in 10 scratch-offs for $3 and then trying to decide which ones to buy next?

My propensity to impulse buy bulk items at Costco that end up tasting like a homeless guy’s bum.
I bought a 456-pack of ‘seaweed snacks’ and just added them to a lunch salad. I used chicken as the protein, but the entire salad tasted like the lowest grade mock-tuna: the kind that would make @Ministry of Pain go ham in a movies theater. It was pretty much unpalatable.
So, now I have a 455-pack of seaweed snacks that I absolutely loathe. Can’t even bring them into work and pawn them off on my co-workers because 1) Who reaches for seaweed snax when they get hungry 2) they are heinous, so even if somebody gets desperate enough to eat one, the smell and retching will warn everyone else not to eat them. Then there’ll be a 454-pack of seaweed snax sitting around taking up valuable real estate in the breakroom.
I hate throwing out food, but can’t in good conscience donate these vile sea vermin snax to any food shelters.

I bought a giant bag of some sort of freeze dried calamari snack on Sunday. Haven’t opened it yet but I’ll probably eat a handful and then never finish the bag

The Town Drunk
My wife, I do love her, but lately she has become the toothpaste Nazi. I squeeze from the bottom (I am not some kind of caveman) and when you get to the end of the tube and you have to either a) apply pressure and hope for something or b) start rolling the tube up with the same expected outcome, I throw it away and get a new one. I mean, we have a Sam's and a Costco membership so we always have six tubes waiting in the wings, but no, my wife will lecture me on the fact there is still plenty left.She thinks she is being sneaky, but I can tell when she has gone in the bathroom with the expressed plan to "show me" and push that last day of toothpaste up to the top. I don't get it. I mean, I want my morning ritual to be smooth and effortless. This is not one of those tasks I even want to spend time with.
The weird thing is this is a new behavior. I have been with this woman for 35 years and it has never been an issue until now.

Tell her that you're moving on to the next tube because you don't want to mess with it. If she doesn't want to either, then she'll at least have to admit that you have a point.My wife, I do love her, but lately she has become the toothpaste Nazi.

What's the worst thing that could happen? You guys have 2 tubes of toothpaste out for a day or 2?

Are these pickled peppers? If so, I agree they go with tons of stuff. I'd probably get heartburn if I had them too many days in a row.

could make like 5-6 batches, easy

just straight jalapeno peppers

Got on some business mailing list and wanted to unsubscribe from their promotional messages. Buried at the bottom of the email is this:
Second sentence: I clicked on the link and it prompted me to log in. I have no idea what my login is because I never signed up for these emails. Which I'm sure they knew.
Third sentence: "Oh, you'd still like to unsubscribe? How about a nice warm glass of shut the hell up?"
First sentence: I don't even know what that means other than "Nice try, but we're going to keep spamming you"

this is gonna be pretty niche but it's driving me crazy. maybe some of the the SE WI guys will know what i'm talking about.
there's a guy on sports radio out of Milwaukee that unnecessarily adds the word "on" in sentences. it's so petty and minor but it drives me insane.

My MIL does this with the word "then" at the end of sentences. Example: "Well, I'm going to go take a shower, then". Or "What should we do for dinner, then?" I think this is a mid-west thing, but I'm not sure, then.

Definitely a midwest thing. My mom says it, my dad said it... i say it. Even though we've been in California since the late 60's.

it'll be something like "if you're making brats tonight, go ahead on and add a little Frank's tobasco on in with your ketchup and while you're at it go ahead and throw a little potato salad on in your plate and you're good to go. And if you're feeling thirsty, go ahead and grab yourself a Miller Lite to add on in there."example?
