I find the most straightforward response is, "would you do/say that when you're having a bad day? Because I don't think I would"

Bonus points to have multiples of the same restaurant name in the same cities with wildly different menus

Interesting you'd start learning AZERTY (assuming you're coming from QWERTY or QWERTZ), as opposed one of the more "efficient" layouts (Dvorak or Colemac)

Feel like the mom should be over the toilet too, considering they are now carrying two kids

Is this where we say something about "state's rights" or whatever?

I don't love to defend advertising/marketing, but your statement implies that once something has been advertised, organic interest/enjoyment becomes impossible.

Sure, there might've been a big ad push that rocketed mayo to the top of people's condiment lists. But there are dozens of other things that could also create interest (new foods that pair well with it, new recipes that are shared culturally, loss of a competing product, diet changes)

I'm not sure who you mean is shilling for corporations, but that's certainly not the vibe I got from most of this thread.

It would be nice to see corporate profits wiped, especially after so much price gouging we've had to endure.

But why do you think that gouging will stop?

[–] brian@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Let's imagine that it does hurt corporate profits first. Will they survive? Probably the big ones, might be a bit harder for little ones. So the world keeps turning, right? But like you said the end customer will eat some of the costs, so we agree that prices will go up in the end.

Where's the upside? More money funneled into the government? Paid by the increased prices for the consumer, or some dips in corporate profits?

I'm not sure that's a win for the ~~consumer~~ normies.

Yep, and I'm sure the corporations will just take that hit on their margins and not have any retaliation.

Theoretically, it would be cheaper for the company if they do new menus frequently. A lot quicker too, potentially.

I would be willing to go out on a limb and say that all people are entitled to due process.
