It must be a vital bit of humanity, everyone here is because cars (other modes of transport are covered, also moving things that one can live in), very little politics, for reasons, a safe space where opinions and daftness conspire to make a whole. And then, meat and buns!
Somewhere inside me is a very clever and provocative award wining thesis about this fleeting phenomena but it is after midnight, and, I am eating a sausage sarnie,
I’m sitting here thinking unironically that this is a perfectly normal conversation to be having.
And I love that Costco put a fat line of onions on one side of their dog and an equally fat line of relish on the other side. Full send, no screwing around. No notes.
Life is about contrast. When you have eaten out of a dumpster, you develop the ability to appreciate things in ways that others cannot.
Elon has never experienced this contrast. His contrast is all green, all things.
In this circumstance, the contrast is that most of the world has experienced the amazing hot dogs at Costco. Which, a story most know, the owner has suggested that if they raise the price, he will shut the company down, or some story along those lines.
Speaking of lines, Elon must be sniffing them to think this abomination of a hot dog is good. Dude really needs to go to Costco to get the proper experience. The, go back to the
drawing boardmirror covered in white stuff and tell his “chefs” to make something that doesn’t look like I just shit it out onto a bun after a night of heavy drinking.Sorry, I’m in a mood.
At first I thought the Tesla diner was like a Disney restaurant without the Disney, but with worse food, I’ve changed my mind, as I’ve eaten at Disney restaurants and they weren’t that bad, and the prices I don’t feel like were this bad either.
I think this is more like when you go and buy food at the movies, $23 for 2 sodas and a bucket of popcorn? I’m no mathmagician but I guess that sounds right, glad I smuggled in my bag of Reece’s Pieces. Actually more like the theaters where you can order while watching the movie, and get a very rare cooked hamburger for $25 because it’s dark and you can’t tell the difference anyways.
Google movie theater hot dog, granted they fit the bun better, but it’s literally like an Oscar Meyer you can buy in a 10 pack for $3, in a bun you can buy in an 8 pack(why do they never make the pack counts match!??) for $2, sold for nearly $7 at the concession stand, probably close to the $13 if served while you watch.
You just buy a minimum of 4 packs of dogs and 5 packs of buns, I don’t see a problem.
I want to see Adrian’s design critique of and proposal for a new Cyberhotdog.
A Cybertruck where the front, hood, roof, tonneau cover, and tailgate are red while the side panels are light brown? Like a cut rate Oscar Mayer Wienermobile.
I wish Tesla had a PR department, so we could ask them the story behind choosing the photo (a disgruntled marketing employee combined with disconnected management?)
Or story behind the staging of the photo, for that matter. I’ve worked in a couple of photo studios, and nothing is by accident. How many shots did they take of this abomination, and can we see the ones that didn’t make the cut?
Truly, a sausage-inna-bun not even Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler could sell
Dibbler’s only in the street-food business because Discworld never developed an auto industry before Sir Terry was led off on Binky…
This is fantastic. No notes.
For the record, I like the idea of the Tesla diner, and I’m quite excited to check it out, as it looks cool. I’m not expecting mind-blowing food, though.
I was thinking no way you pay that for a hot dog when it is more expensive than most of the cars you bought
And who is, according to Torch, a person who buys Arby’s sandwiches on an installment plan…
Hey, David’s a family man. He has to have priorities, like funding a 529 account for college. I can’t wait for the article when David discovers the cost of child care.
I hope he goes for the layaway payment plan with the shortest timeframe.
When David said he was a hot dog guy, what he meant was ALL his meals are $1.50 Costco hot dogs and sodas. No point buying expensive groceries at that price!
