I can save red lobster.

A Children's play area called the "shrimp farm" with pictures of happy dancing anthropomorphic shrimp eating non anthropomorphic shrimp on the walls. The ball pit tastes like shrimp, the nets and slide tastes like shrimp. The whole place tastes like shrimp. It's a feature.

@bloodravenlib Orcas are pretty smart and very discerning. Other than boats, I haven’t seen reports of human attacks. We probably don’t taste good.

Oh, the horror continues: ""Coffee drinkers are leaving Starbucks's loyalty program. Chips Ahoy cookies are lingering longer on grocery-store shelves. . . "

Not the Chip Ahoys. TBH, the Better Half can bake a mean choc chip cookie, so why buy the bagged one? And we make our own coffee.
