A nice friend, and nothing more
Another year, another broken resolution in episode 285. This may be the earliest we've had to give up on our aspirations, but don't worry! We'll still have plenty of bits of varying quality (except for Paul, only the best bits from him).
Apparently we can be forgiven for claiming Doug's Butterscotch Scoop Snickers bar log was a Walmart exclusive, as the press release didn't come out until after we recorded. Here's the outdated link Adam found regarding the one-time Walmart exclusivity, although it refuses to tell us about the different meanings of the word "scotch". But don't worry, you can find that here and here, respectively.
Chocolate bloom is real, and it's disgusting! But it's non-toxic, so just shove it down your gullet without swallowing like Kevin does.
As in the podcast, we refuse to touch this topic comedically. But you can read about The Feast of the Circumcision and even the the Holy Prepuce on your own time. Knowledge is power, after all!
OK, we're going to be honest. We don't remember what Doug was talking about when referring to a Pepsi design manual. But here is one, though outdated. A new update straight from Doug!
Charlie's Google-Fu is weak and he failed to find the correct Pepsi document for the blog post. Had he simply entered "insane peps" into the search bar, the auto-complete suggestion of "insane pepsi logo document" would have led him straight to https://www.reddit.com/r/Design/comments/hspqgd/pepsi_logo_redesign_brand_manual_from_2008_is_the/ and https://www.creativebloq.com/news/never-forget-that-utterly-ridiculous-pepsi-logo-design-document
For those who are passionate about movies, but don't want the swears (or just want a channel that plays movies all the time, the way television used to be), watch Movies!
Adam couldn't find an acceptable video that covered what you needed to know from Discovery season 2 before watching Strange New Worlds, so this link will have to do.
Charlie missed out on Pico Park and all of those sweet, sweet achievements.
If you wanted some supplemental materials for your Anime 201 course, here's some reading about cours.
