Blueberries from Peru, one of the largest exporters, are generally mostly bland mush in my experience. I remember hearing in a podcast someone saying they mostly grew a particular variety that was well suited for the climate but didn't taste as good as other varieties that thrive more in North America.

Big agree! Love the guy's history posts and that he often explains the historical context of the meme/artwork/etc so everyone can learn and get in on the joke 🫡

It was from a buffet salad bar so it's very likely the case

I ate a beet once and found it absolutely disgusting. They look really similar to radishes so i just assumed radishes tasted the same for the longest time until I had a real Mexican taco with radish. Now I fucken love radishes!

I later learned that Buchanan County Sheriff Allen Boyd, a regular customer, ate dinner here about two weeks before my visit, and then assisted ICE in setting up a late-night checkpoint that nabbed two El Sombrero employees. One was known as Little Lupe. The other was Alejandro Martinez, a waiter who’d been a fixture in Grundy for more than 15 years. Lupe was released, but Martinez was quickly deported to Mexico.

One Facebook poster wrote, “They can get the one illegal immigrant in Buchanan County, but the 4000 meth-heads are fine. ok.” Another chimed in: “Did I vote for TRUMP??? YES, I DID but that didn’t mean my friend had to be done this way.”

Martinez himself was a Trump supporter, as were the restaurant’s owners.

Wow there's is no recovery from this level of stupid. Just gotta keep these idiots contained in their area and wait for them to die out drowning in problems of their own making.

A 9-year-old boy in Illinois was hospitalized with severe burns after a TikTok trend inspired him to put his NeeDoh — a popular sensory toy — in the microwave.
Caleb Chabolla heard about the trend of heating the squishy toy from a friend at school and decided to try it on Jan. 20

I mean the moronic trend to microwave this particular toy started on tiktok so the headline isn't really that far off.

Kids have been have done idiotic things since time immemorial, just dumbasses on tiktok are incentivized now to amplify their dangerous actions to as many impressionable youths as they can.

Lethal Weapon 4 is a masterpiece compared to the dumpster fire Lethal Weapon 5 quickly turned into. So much unnecessary full frontal nudity and I'm pretty sure the guy playing Roger Murtaugh was wearing blackface.
