It’s a fun word to say, say it with me

I’m guessing they think it’s pronounced balony

Ah yes the African planet. Real TOS reject episode vibes.

This is my worry as well

That’s what is on the French packaging in Canada. In France I’ve seen Chamallows.

Can’t go anywhere without mine now. Movies, sporting events, bars. Just way too loud without earplugs

Yep same thing with all those ads like 90% fail this. They’re designed to drive engagement. Best thing you can do is stop doom scrolling. Failing that, ignoring those obvious attempts to get you to respond.

Haha, yeah we went to an Indian restaurant in Nimes because my friend has a severe gluten allergy. I had a vindaloo there that was milder than any food I’ve had in North America.

Ah I see. The ads I saw were on billboards so thankfully didn’t have to hear them. They were advertising some kind of “Louisiana” style chicken sandwich, which was ironic because the French find black pepper spicy. I can only imagine how mild it must actually be.

Empty stores, somehow, store managers had a perverse incentive to keep store inventory levels low. Their prices were really high as well. A rushed SAP implementation meant that executives didn’t have enough insight into business operations. You can read more here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Target_Canada

When I was in France this past spring I did see advertisements for Burger King so they must have had some success. I do remember McDonald’s having great dessert options.

Target’s failed expansion into Canada. It’s taught as a case study on what not to do in business schools now.

I think that’s a skewed way of looking at it. I can see the appeal if your family is able to take advantage. Like if your kids are off and your spouse doesn’t work (or maybe can also work remotely). That way you can enjoy some nicer weather and a different location and are able to stay longer. It’s definitely not for me because like you said I’d rather just have a vacation, but I think blaming it on capitalism is a bit of an odd way of looking at what’s essentially someone’s lifestyle choice.

The difference between wine grapes and regular grapes is the variety. If you’ve ever heard names like Pinot Noir or Chardonnay, those are not only the type of wine, but also the variety of grape. Those grapes are also typically not very edible. For edible grapes I imagine it works similar to other food production. The farmer sells it to a distributor who in turn sells it to wholesalers who then sell it to stores, factories, etc. Or sometimes the farmer might have a direct contract with a large grocery chain.

The Crow. Movie was just so cheesy, but the soundtrack is just some of the best alternative songs from the time. A lot of original songs made for the soundtrack too.

Formative years memory activated. I must have had that soundtrack on repeat for months when it was released. Movie was awful.
