Perfect if you either like relish juice or half the bottle at once all over your bun.

Coca-Cola had been the market leader for 100 years. Absolutely insane that they thought changing the formula was a good idea.

Quite the case study though for everyone.

It worked because if you mention it 30ish? years later everyone who was alive then knows what you are talking about.

Not sure why you consider this a fail. I have a container of sweet relish in the fridge for hotdogs. It's perfect out of this squeeze tube container.

Bruh…he posted dill relish.

Most worthless toy I ever had I ended up using the metal board as a target for my pellet gun.

Streaming services in terms of cutting cable


Yeah, gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you on this one. Being able to watch the LSU WV game on my phone on YouTubeTV while at work alone is incredible.
The prices have come up and made the savings from a few years ago obsolete, but having no stupid dish, or a bunch of boxes and cords everywhere is a big win too. Just plug the Roku tv into the wall and good to go.

In what way has this failed? Streaming has performed spectacularly at cutting cable. Cutting cost may be different story.


Uh, how? Most people now have multiple streaming services (usually between three and five), many filled with content they never watch and all of the streaming services now have advertisements. Instead of cutting costs, limiting services to relevant content and cutting out advertisements it has done just the opposite.

The sweet pickle relish is a winner, but the Dill? No bueno!

Not much call for chopped dill pickles in recipes like there is sweet pickles. Great time saver.

With my bad back the fine points of cooking like handling a blade cause all my core muscles to tighten and tense for precision wearing me out on pain. Not chopping pickles or nuts with a knife saves a lot of pain literally.

I had been warning people for a decade that it wasn’t going to be cheaper than cable. You’d be getting less channels for the same or more money.
