Omnibus Stupid MFers in the news thread (Part 2)

Our register system changed recently. The new ones have the option to enter data manually or to scan the ID, so that capability is becoming a reality. The practice? All I know is for now I’m manually entering the birthdate.

My joke is they will want a DNA sample next, so lick the pinpad.

I’d try them.

I mean, it almost looks like an Indian taco (I.e. Najavo frybread topped with white-people-taco fixings), but this particular combination of sweet and savory doesn’t sound appealing to me at all.

I’ve certainly seen real live “dessert tacos” that were a folded soft cookie shell resembling that pic, but filled w sweet icing or creme or somesuch. And cocktail or maraschino cherries to simulate tomatos.

And, it isn’t AI. The image was posted in the official Little Debbie’s Facebook page in October 2023, before AI could do anything like that.

Well, I’ll be a monkey’s uncle.

Still stupid, though.

OK, so the “tomatoes” are probably cherries, and I’m guessing the “lettuce” is green-dyed coconut… but what would the “cheese” be?

The link to the recipe is a 404 now, and the Wayback Machine apparently never captured that particular page, so we may never know.

Shredded cantaloupe, maybe?

I’m not sure I want to know what the “beef” is.

“cheese” might be shredded mango, “beef” crumbled chocolate cake or similar.

Can we try to remember that social media rumors aren’t news?

Lol wut?

Social media rumors have been accepted as news for at least a decade. Get with the times!

Meh. We’re living in Andy Warhol’s nightmare. Nothing is news, and therefore everything is news.

By idiots and MAGA types. I thought I was on the SDMB though.

30 or so years ago, my oldest son (7-8 at the time), decided he wanted to go to the local Chinese buffet for his birthday. In celebration, they brought out a special cake with a candle and cherry. Except the cherry was cherry tomato.

Surprise!

I remember these from when I was college aged. Not that we made and ate them at that age, but folks with little kids then thought they were great fun for parties.

Point being there are lots of ways to take fairly commonplace dessert ingredients and make them look like something very different. Including “tacos” made from Little Debbie cookies. Doesn’t always take a professional dessert chef / food artiste to pull it off.

A lawsuit in the making?

Might as well while he has the hood up.

You can’t call yourselves “repeat customers.”

When Kayla was in daycare, we did that for all the kids on her birthday (thanks, Mimi’s Cafe in Anaheim, CA!). It was a huge hit.

The French in Cagnes-sur-Mer recovered two Renoirs stolen from the Renoir Museum. Two of the guys gave the paintings to their buddy who blabbed that he had them stashed underneath his stairwell.

Isn’t that the way to get caught sometimes? I cut through bars with a sawzall to steal these high-profile beauties and then entrust them to my friend whom I met in prison.
