Ya. They're called CobraFists. They're really nice especially when it's like -20c. On a warmer -5c day like today once they warm up you can actually ride without gloves.

Thats badass. You could probably fit a costco hotdog in each one for warmth too!!

I wanted a hot dog super bad but the line was long and I wanted to get on the trails. Then on the way home some lady mistook a trail for a road and got stuck and while digging her out instead of being full and happy from a Costco hot dog I had to wolf down a lovely frozen Cliff bar because I was so hungry it hurt.

Never skip the hot dogs.

I don't think that's 15k kcal but it's definitely not something you'd want to eat unless you're doing something like eating light thinking your day isn't going to be very active and then getting invited on a last minute 50km bike ride.

Also biking to Costco is fun and healthy I should do that tomorrow we're apparently out of chicken strips.

Sorry i meant 1.5, they have cals posted on menu hotdog is like 450, pizza is like 650, churro is like 300, if that's real soda its almost a days worth of food total.

They can call them whatever stupid name they want I don't give a gently caress I just want warm hands while riding. Hell they could be covered in rainbows and poo poo and I'd still use them.

They got a ton of those on the mopeds in China, where they are probably also called CobraFists, because that name is really bad and Chinese people love really bad names for things

No, plasma is just inherently superior to lcds for lots of things like contrast, color, etc. The only thing that comes close is OLED screens, which are extremely rare. But it's not flat enough for people so they stopped making them

I had a plasma once and there was what looked like red areas burning into the TV after it was on for a while. That think really sucked.

Now I have an LED from Costco. Loving it.

If they raise the price of hot dogs I will turn on them like a rabid dog

Costco bought a meat processor and started making their own hot dogs when their old supplier of hot dogs wanted them to raise the price.

Top notch. Not a single loving peanut in the lot. Mostly cashews, which I hate more than peanuts, but my wife eats those.

I have a Costco, BJ's, and Sam's Club all in my town and have been a BJ's man more or less my whole life. Is Costco wildly different? BJ's doesn't do gasoline, that's for sure. Buddy from same town moved to South Carolina and now all he talks about is Costco so I'm curious.

Costco is god tier. BJs is .... okay I guess? barring there's no Costco around, but the quality of products (in-house stuff especially) is not even a comparison.
