  • I’ll never forget when my girlfriend introduced me to Lao Gan Ma crispy chili in oil. Honestly salivating a little just by thinking of it right now. I ate it just about every day for a week, after first trying it. And the smell! Absolutely divine. I do need to keep it wrapped in 3 bags though, for it not to smell up the entire fridge, haha.





  • I would recommend https://fightchatcontrol.eu/ for reaching out directly to your country’s representatives.

    I used it today to make a template, that I could then edit to fit my writing style, and send from my own email provider really easily, because the site also let’s you copy the email addresses of your representatives in one click.
    But the site will also let you send a pre-made message with no effort really needed from you. I just had some time and energy today, so went the extra mile.

    I also really like how it tracks the stance of your representative, and you can read their response to the issue. Most of my country’s representatives are currently on vacation, but I did get an answer back from one of them, which was pretty cool (Very informally written, with an included “Sent from my iPhone” signature, hahaha).


  • Denmark could sent you our former franchise owner, Bjartmar Þrastarson. He managed to fuck it up here quite spectacularly. Even refused to shut down the stores, when HQ ordered him to.

    Basically, if I translate and summarize the articles that I linked: It came out that the locations in Denmark used a practice of re-labeling defrosted chicken with new dates to extend its shelf life. It was a widespread and routine procedure referred to by employees as “extending” the chicken. Evidence, including internal chat messages from multiple locations, showed this practice to be common over several years.

    Graphic showing some of the messages here.
    They’re in English, because some of the workers at the locations aren’t fluent in Danish.
