Numerous studies already proved that ths claim is bullshit
I have always relied on the old fashioned way of meeting girls by going out into the world and meeting them by chance. Never will I use a so called dating app, because Tinder makes you a filthy and disgusting ad that makes your house a pigsty and you a slob. Not to mention how much I hate the fact that YouTube is always giving me ads about Tinder. From lazy people in pigsty bedrooms to couples I do not want to describe, to a royal family/drag show crossover to TikTok girls appearing. It makes me want to drown in my own vomit.
I booked a flight and somehow I clicked the wrong button and booked the wrong flight. I wasn't *that* careful because I was planning to confirm my schedule a few hours later and cancel it if necessary, for free, because of the bold unqualified statement right above the "purchase" button. (And right below the qualifications in fine print.) They need to put an asterisk next to that statement so that people know to check the terms and conditions.
I had this vision of what this show was going to be. Spoiler alert: ‘Twas not a good vision. When my wife and I read the stellar reviews I agreed to set aside my gut feeling to give it a chance. Little did I know that not only would I be right, but my oft malfunctioning gut was more right than ever before. This show is the most contrived, simultaneously overacted and underserved ego stroke of a curtain call to otherwise respectable careers as I could ever have imagined. When you’re watching this drivel you can just see these tired storylines and characters, punchlines anchored largely in generational cliches, being conceived as self congratulatory ideas at the table reads, and then presented by a bunch of overinflated has-beens to the clueless overpaid excecs as groundbreaking. This is less a show idea as it is an idea to seek something. The ghosts of yesterday’s comedy and their yes men and women selling selling selling what they believe the proles want. Blah! No sweat, I can handle a miss now and again. My wife might disagree, but I’m not really much of a hater. I even like Steve Martin and Martin Short. Captain Ron; Planes, Trains and Automobiles… you had your hits, guys. So what, move on, right? Except, this show is so bad that I just had to circle back to the reviews. What are you people thinking?! I thought. Or, as it turns out, are you even living breathing thinking people who are out there selling this snake oil? What my wife and I found was a conspiracy as in your face as the show’s mail-order characters and plot twists. Go ahead, watch the show and tell me I’m wrong. I effin dare you! Waste the precious time you have left on this rock! Then, with your additional disposable time, read the damn reviews. First off, they can’t be talking about the same show. Genius? Great acting? Witty? Hell, that wasn’t my experience AT ALL. And each review was so eloquently written. In fact, written far better than the show itself. Of course, this high quality of comment is exactly what I’ve come to expect from the internet. The use of similar grammar in each made me envision Martin Short and Steve Martin late at night in their giant homes, mausoleums for John Candy’s coattails, them and their college intern assistants turning out review after review, sweating the failure, uploading stock photos of diverse peoples to fake profiles and masterfully weaving the English language in order to dupe you into celebrating their —ah-hem—genius one last time. Giving these fictitious fans names far more interesting than that of their ubercontrived cast. A victim, Tim Kona, with such a nice ring even his most intimate friends say it in full every.damn.Time. Read them—the reviews--please. Real world, PLEASE try to tell me these are not bots!!!! This show sucks, and the marketing behind the damn show is what’s manufacturing the positive word of mouth. I knows it! Shame on you old wash ups for your snuffing out the fresh ideas much more deserving of the resources otherwise squandered on your vanity project to serve as one last kicks at the can! There’s not enough lipstick in the world for this pig. Lesson learned. Go with your gut—unless your Martins and co.

All product is currently labeled as "Made in Canada"
Customs is flagging all their product as deceptive labeling as the original product is all bought in China, and rebranded in Canada.

Je sais pas, mais quitte à mentir, soit vous y allez franco, soit vous prenez pas la peine de détailler.. 😄
This was an item that was sold in the c-store (impulse purchases by the cash registers) at the Best Buy I worked at years ago. It was a tray to quick cook ramen noodles in the microwave. It had a particularly magical added feature!
Let's look back at some memorable moments and interesting insights from last year.
