McDonalds french fries use a beef flavoring in their product from cows. The fries aren't vegetarian. They stopped frying it in beef tallow in the 80s for health reasons but they continue to use a beef extract as a flavoring agent to retain the old flavor.

I want to say Good Humor, but this is a many decade old memory of being a child. I think Mister Softee was exclusively soft serve (so ice cream cones, bowls, sandwiches, and milkshakes)
This vintage image backs me up but I think it's from even before my time.

This doesn't really exist anymore, but in the old days NYC had two kinds of ice cream trucks. Good Humor and Mister Softee. Mister Softee had soft serve. Good Humor had popsicles and ice cream bars - think Fat Frog and Bubble O' Bill. And it was a TENSION as to which truck would come that day

This is the post they're responding to btw. Note how they're choosing to say Americans are stupid and skipping right past the part where I say people in other countries low key have an obsession with what's happening in the US to the point of neglecting their own politics?

Also, I know HIPAA exists for good reason, but I wish that people like this who expressed anti vaxx sentiments would have to prove that they didn't vaxx their kids.

Also, things don't work out well for Paul long term. He does give up power.
And his son ends up like a giant worm.

Just so you don't think I'm lying (the dark blue dots take you to an entrance - NYT IIRC has three. The red dot is a second entrance. there's also an entrance on the main block the blue dots are on)
