This was great. For an encore, can you write an eloquent defense of American milk chocolate. American Cheese is to the grilled cheese sandwich, as Milk chocolate is to s'mores.
It angers old people because of the poor grammar and bad maths habits, not because children are implying they're old.
The 1900s would still only be like 1909 at the latest. You've got too much precision and called out the wrong decade. This floppy form factor was invented in 1981, peaked in popularity and was replaced by CDs by 2000. Spanning 2 decades in the late twentieth (20th) century, not the late 1900s. See the difference in the number of digits? That difference in the number of stated digits is significant.
They are named after the show that started it, Candid Camera.
Maybe you're referring to the inprov spin-off of this idea, where even the "prankster" doesn't know what's going to happen until they receive secret instructions. Probably still called a Candid Camera type show, but I'm sure that's not the name of the specific show.
The boring answer is that the "victims" sign a release after the prank. People that start throwing punches are probably unlikely to sign that release. Also, back in the day these things were done by professionals, harmless, and a well known phenomena. Imagine Dick Clark types, not Johnny Somali.
"If this coffee is the most dark and bitter part of my day, I'll consider myself lucky."
Ozone being generated by spotty and arcing electrical connections?
Does your Dubai chocolate hate have to do with the arguments made in this opinion article, which basically boils down to the popularity of foods and culture being exploited as propaganda, obscuring atrocities committed by authoritarian regimes? If so, that was not at all clear from your post. (I'm still unclear what the ethnicity of the chef has to do with anything.) Any cultural artifact or pastiche is free game for the propaganda machines of the powerful and elite. But those same associations are a double edged sword, hanging a lantern on the same atrocities the regime wishes to obscure. In the end, I feel it is more productive to embrace the fad, eat the chocolate (sourced as ethically as possible), and exploit the popularity as an opportunity to illuminate rather than add to the hate.
Dubai chocolate is really one ethically questionable imperialist exploitation food wrapped around another. The metaphor is delicious. So is the chocolate. Let's eat and discuss instead of hating it.
I hate hate. Retail is hell. That was a great episode. Archer is the best captain. I actually grew to like the theme song a bit. I'm out. Mic drop.
