Why would anybody buy Trump Steaks from a vulgar jackass who likes them grossly overdone and then smothers them in ketchup? Turns out, almost nobody would. In another business triumph for the orange conman, the steaks were, unsurprisingly, discontinued less than two months after launch due to poor sales. ---

> [@BlankSlate](#): > > Biden showing up on SNL with a spray tan and goofy wig would be some next level, Dark Brandon hilarity. I’m now picturing a SNL skit with Jim Carrey dressed up in his Biden makeup, but with the addition of orange spray tan and a toupee. He could do a trump/biden mash up where he’s switching back and forth between both people at the same time. Arguing with himself gollum/smeagol style. Might be hard to pull off live but it would still be funny as hell. ---

How about both at the same time, a la Batman villain, Two Face? One side Biden, the other side Trump. Then he just turns his head right or left to change character. ---

> [@Al128](#): > > Isn’t that the _ **raison d’être** _ of vodka? … that it doesn’t have a taste? Sure it does. I can definitely tell the difference between my usual Absolut and Tito’s, for instance. It’s just that with vodka, unlike cognac or scotch, the differences are relatively subtle. It would probably be ridiculous to spend a lot of money on an allegedly “premium” vodka , but it’s perfectly reasonable to have a brand preference within the same general price range. ---

I completely agree with you … and also reckon that it is intrinsically “senseless” to buy some booze whose principal characteristic it is to not have flavor and then pay a premium for minuscular flavor differences … ---

> [@bobot](#): > > I’ve found that the fancier a vodka is, the less I can taste it. This really fucked me up, too much, so I bought Smirnoff. Several years back the NYT tasting panel did a blind tasting of vodkas. I don’t recall what came in at #1 but the #2 vodka was Smirnoff. IIRC Grey Goose was pretty far down the list. Same for Belvedere. ETA: Here is a gift link to [The article I mentioned from 2005.](https://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/26/dining/a-humble-old-label-ices-its-rivals.html?unlocked_article_code=1.g00.MpiB.Kc7kRnCR7tdp&smid=url-share) Looks like Belvedere did better than I recalled but Smirnoff was pretty much the winner. ---

Costco’s Kirkland isn’t Grey Goose, but [apparently a good vodka](https://slate.com/human-interest/2024/03/costco-vodka-kirkland-wirecutter-best-taste-grey-goose.html) (Slate article on the state of vodka and vodka tasting (it’s thing!)) ---
