For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don't want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That's ludicrous!

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use "less" when they should use "fewer"

The probably just add the crushed peanuts in after making the regular one.

Haha, just like most brown sugar. Spoiler: it's usually white sugar with molasses added back in.

I never really thought about how brown sugar used to just be less refined white sugar...

So it's not laziness, it's maliciousness?

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

How exactly is that malicious though?

Because they are, for some baffling reason, deciding proactively to ruin the peanut butter after having blended it into smooth, creamy perfection! Then they have the gall to place it right next to the good stuff, likely with intent to fool unwitting passersby into bringing it home with further hopes that the children who have never tasted smooth peanut butter and fall victim to experiencing the crunchy version as their initial exposure will be hooked on the worse version for the rest of their lives.

If that's not malice, I don't know what is.

(Really heavy /s, just in case)

The big peanut conspiracy

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Because when they add them back in, they do it with a really shitty attitude.
