Basically Korean gyoza. I pan fried them (Gun-mandu), but some people like just boiling them. They aren't too difficult to make yourself, but it's so much more convenient to just buy the pre-made 3 pound frozen bag from Costco.

No idea if it's outside of Texas given it's an Austin-based company, but the big packs of Waterloo Sparking Water have begun to supplant La Croix in our home

That watermelon flavor is just too good

I bought these a few weeks ago, they have more flavor than gyoza and are very good. Definitely recommended.

Yeah, that Waterloo is drat fine.
Mighty Swell in the variety packs are supposed to hit local (maybe just Austin?) Costcos on August 15th. If it does well, they'll release it nationwide.

My Costco used to stock 24 bottle flats of Deer Park sparkling water in four flavors (lemon, orange, black cherry, lime raspberry) but they've been replaced with 30 can packs of Klarbruun in two flavors (lemon/lime and black cherry/grapefruit.)

It's largely a downgrade.

The bulgogi mandu they sell in the frozen section are amazing. Pretty good sized pillows of deliciousness, and a serving of 4 is only 280 calories.

Definitely buying them again when I go back, the naanwiches are nothing compared to them.

Was looking for something to grab to throw in the work freezer. Sounds like we have a winner!

Has anyone in Canada seen the Kirkland brand protein bars in their costco store lately?

I last bought some back in the winter, but then they were never in stock again and later I heard they had to scrap their entire stock due to a packaging misprint or something like that.

When I search on Costco.com I see them listed again in new packaging but so far Costco.ca has nothing.

We drink a lot of Waterloo but it's only from Whole Foods in CA. We like it because it's insanely carbonated, so it lets you do insane burps (my fiancee has taken to calling herself The Bullfrog lately because of these sodas).

I like the grapefruit and black cherry. I don't like the watermelon, but the worst flavor is mango, oh man that flavor is bad.

Overall our favorite zero calorie drinks from Costco are probably Kirkland Vita Rain Zero. They're basically flavored waters with vitamins. I don't care about the vitamins- it's just delicious and doesn't have sugar. There is no bad flavor and they're 20 oz bottles.

Shoo shoo, heretic!

I rented a sous vide through Joymode one weekend. The kit came with a vacuum sealer. I went to church and loaded up on goods to vacuum seal and freeze. Bread! Fresh wild sockeye salmon fillets! Steaks! Ahhh yisssss. Oh yeah, you have to freeze bread until it’s rock solid before you vacuum seal it or you end up with a dense brick. Whoops.

I do this with Costco croissants and even with freezing beforehand they still get crushed. Upside is when you take them out and put them in the microwave to defrost they form back up perfectly.

Most folks think it's sourced from barrels produced by George Dickel because it pretty much has to be either Dickel or Jack Daniels and people don't think it tastes like something Jack produced.
Large distilleries sell off excess barrels, barrels they produced explicitly for sale, or liquor that doesn't meet their flavor profile to smaller blenders and bottlers.

Here's an effortpost by a distillery owner that explains some of it: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3832236&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=2#post477586375

If it’s labeled as bourbon it’s probably Jim Beam

Polar is awesome and for the longest time it was impossible to find down here - my gf is from CT and her family used to get it all the time - but we were at the CVS down the street and they randomly had tons of cases of it with some interesting flavors (Watermelon Lemonade and that kinda stuff), poo poo is so drat good.
