Are these the offending chicken sandwiches in question?

Those are great with a little mayo and lettuce on them. They�ve been making them forever and I�m pretty sure I lived off those in my teens.

My Costco had some cape cod chicken salad for 2 weeks, and no more. I asked, and they're not getting any more. It was so good, I'm so bummed.

Do I need a receipt to return something to Costco? I bought a big box of pre-made frozen chicken sandwiches about 4 months ago, and I�ve only eaten one of them and it was disgusting (who could have guessed). They�ve just been sitting in my freezer ever since, too gross to eat but I feel bad about throwing away that much �good� food. Will they take it back?

I bought these too, and also returned them, because I am a slow, and thought it was just chicken patties. Also they were bad.

Yeah I really like them too! Just had one last night!

My move is to microwave the patty and use the microwave oven to toast the buns. Then a little whole grain mustard, a little tomato, a little lettuce and/or tomato and mayo like you say. Then you're cookin' with gas baby!

I guess people who don't like them are eating them straight or something.

Wow I am really surprised that this is a consistent issue. Did you just slap that poo poo in the microwave and try to eat it without any kind of additions?

Just finished my last one last night so I'll have to get more. I just put mayo and sriracha on it or something like that.

Whenever I eat them all I do put a little ketchup on them, and I think they're delicious that way.

For sure. I think if you add pretty much anything they're good. The only losing move is to add nothing.

e: pro tip- add a fried egg in there if you're trying to make it more of a meal. There is no such thing as a burger that isn't enhanced by a fried egg.

I need milk and a few other essentials, but then I remembered that Costco gives time off on Labor Day so that people can spend time with their families and having fun, instead. Luckily I have a freezer full of stir fry and steak at low prices.

Taima posted:

Can we just stop with the implication that expensive vodka is better?

The $12 handle of vodka is as good or better than the supposed "grey goose" vodka. If anything you should just buy a handle of Grey Goose, drink it, and then refill it with the $12 handle for the rest of your days.

No one will ever, EVER tell the difference. I challenge you to get a few people you know and blind test the two bottles.

Vodka in general is a ludicrous scam based almost entirely on placebo and brand fellatio.

Sweet thanks for the heads up!

Digging this post up from the dead to say I've done a blind vodka tasting (ie I refilled a variety of vodkas with 10 dollar vodka) and nobody could tell the difference. Vodka marketing is a scam

In my experience, I feel the difference of expensive vs cheap vodka by severity of hangover not by taste.

If you want to microwave them plain and eat them on the toilet that's your right and I will fight to the death to maintain your right to do that, sir. this is America.

Reminder that the new coupon book activates tomorrow. Baby bell cheeses are on sale. We always get 3-4 bags so that we can hold out the 3-6 months until they're on sale again. They're the best snack ever.

Went to the Co today. If you're looking for a good extra anejo taquila, Costco is clearance on the Don Abraham, and it comes with a hand blown shot glass for $50. Really good price.

Do you mean you buy the chili separately and put it on the hot dog? We just got the chili, but I didn't look at it too closely- do they have a chili dog now!?

Taking a straight sip I can slightly tell a difference. Going from like Skol to Smirnoff to Tito's, it burns less (and has a cleaner actual taste). I'm not a big vodka drinker but my wife claims the better stuff gives her less of a hangover the next day.

Give me whiskey (or scotch) or give me death.

I went to the 'co angry and hungry yesterday so I impulse bought some individually wrapped quiches, chicken empanadas, and some Dublin cheese.

The empanadas were surprisingly good, and the quiches are passable. I'm gonna take them to work so I can have a hot breakfast for a bit.

As for the cheese, my wife and I already ate 1/4 of the block, it's so loving good.
