Cosa fu “Super Size Me”
La #morte di Morgan #Spurlock ha riportato di attualità il suo famoso #documentario per il quale 20 anni fa mangiò per un mese solo da #mcdonalds , con esiti discutibili #uno
Raga ma è morto Morgan Spurlock, il tizio di Super Size Me, il documentario contro il cibo-monnezza di #McDonalds. Ve lo ricordate? Se l'è portato via il cancro 😢
Quel documentario fu importante per me, mi dispiace.
“Super Size Me” was a study in America’s #FastFood culture & its role in the country’s #economy & #health problems, including #obesity. He put on 25 pounds, had bouts of depression & was diagnosed w/liver ailments during a 30-day stretch of McDonald’s-only fare.
In 2023, McDonald's in China released a special Tetris LCD handheld that is shaped like a chicken nugget. For some reason, this was the tie-in for the 40th anniversary of the Chicken McNugget.
I wanted it immediately.
But, as I did not live in China and knew no one who could import such things for me at the time, I could not. So, I waited.
At Magfest, earlier this year, I saw this prize sitting on a shelf, mocking me. At nearly 50 bucks, I was tempted, but unwilling to buy it.
I forgot about it for a while when 7-Eleven announced their own new Tetris tie-in handheld, this time on a Slurpee cup. It reminded me of my long wanted chicken nugget handheld.
I went to eBay and found someone with a relatively high rating, selling them for less than 15 USD including shipping. So, I bought one. That was early April.
It arrived this week.
It's as beautiful as I expected.
No, but seriously, it's a functional LCD handheld that you can play Tetris on. It's adorable. It is literally easier to play Tetris on this, than on my phone.
Also, it's classic mode so if there is not space for the Tetromino block to do spin - it won't spin.
Anyway - short version: I imported for myself the Chicken McNugget Tetris game and it's silly fun.
now cheaper than #McDonalds ! (shake machine probably broken)
easy to read poetry that feels like it was plucked from your own mind! my debut poetry collection, "Waves of Clarity" by T.F. Burke is available now! https://a.co/d/80SwcZ7
My teenage child complained from time to time that they have never been to a #McDonalds, so as we where on a #roadTrip last weekend we stopped at a McDonald's. I said "When I was a child I liked the Big Mac."
They replied "What's a Big Mac?"
I went into #ManchurianCandidate mode, my mind went blank, feelings left my face, & in a monotone voice I said: "TwoAllBeefPattiesSpecialSauceCheeseLettucePicklesOnionsOnASesameSeedBun".
Then I assassinated somebody else's political opponents.
Des #McDonalds du Pas-de-Calais et du Nord ont distribué des gourdes "Fiers d'être lensois" dont le revêtement intérieur est "en résine phénoxy produit à partir de Bisphénol A rendant le produit non conforme et dangereux"
The Moon and the Sun are about to fight. McDonald's is very sowwy. Discord shattered a world record. Blue Checkmarks are hiding in the shadows. You may luck into becoming a digital homeowner. EA wasn't feeling supportive.
#30DaysOfBiking, Day 5, Part 2: Went into the weekend a bit earlier due the time I worked during the Easter weekend on understanding and locally mitigating the #xz f🤬ckup. Ran some cycling related errands: bringing a rain jacket to #Transa for repair and visiting my #Brompton repair shop #Velofix for making an appointment for the next maintenance. The boss came out, pointed to their window and said "You're hanging in our window!" And indeed, there's a printed version of https://www.provelozuerich.ch/magazin/bromptonaut-unter-strom/
#30DaysOfBiking, Day 5, Part 3: Wasn't sure if I should already do the planned full day tour through the #Sihl valley and back via #KnoauerAmt, but I decided to see how far I get. Worked very smooth. In #Sihlbrugg (turning point of the tour) I managed to make a check mark on my #BucketList: I rode through a #DriveIn (#McDrive) with my #Brompton. 😁 I had fun and the #McDonalds personnel were amused, too.
More pictures from the tour later when I'm back home. Just to had to share this. #BikeTooter
The #boycotts are working, however don’t rush to get your bigmacs yet. They could be doing this to save face. Keep #boycotting. Don’t stop until you hit them where they know it won’t benefit to manipulate.
