I'll leave that to the lab. Store brands have usually been perfectly effective for my needs, and they're cheaper. The whole "double triple roll equals 82 roll" business is nuts.

Kirkland is not. Every time I priced out Costco stuff it never worked out well.

Buying paper towels is madness. Double rolls. Triple rolls. Target's listed Bounty sheet-per-roll is different than Bounty at the grocery store. And then there are coupons and discounts and gift cards to weight in.

Yes I'm working on a spreadsheet. So far store brands are winning by a mile.

An ad featuring PlayStation's original mascot, Polygon Man. About the PlayStation, he says, "It was invented to make up for all that other stuff that sucks."

An ad for the Atari Jaguar directed at retailers. The headline reads: "We put the GROSS in your income" next to a picture from a violent shooter.

Going through the 1995 E3 Show Dailies. There are some amazing trade-only ads in these that I don't know have ever been reproduced

Weather in New York for Toy Fair next week is shaping up to be the coldest in quite some time. Looks like it should be snowing when my flight lands, so here's hoping it doesn't get too delayed.

I'm surprised every episode has been about 60 minutes (or longer for the first one) as opposed to the variable 40ish to 50ish minute runtimes too. They really pack a lot in each one.

I once again enjoyed Star Trek: Starfleet Academy this week. I do wonder how it'll land with anyone watching it who didn't watch a few hundred episodes of other Treks though.

I can be on the show and you can all tell me I don't understand how time works. Spacetime denialism is a hip new topic, I can be the bad guy.

I started rewatching Bob's Burgers a few months ago and I'm not even at the halfway point yet.

Star Trek: The Next Generation had to make many seasons just to pay off its set investment.

Nobody wants an endless stream of TV miniseries.

I am reading Amazon is using AI to speed up TV and film production.

Do you know what else is good to reduce costs? Make longer seasons of fewer shows. Give me 20-26 episodes of a thing, please and thank you.

I was at Walmart last night and saw a WWE x Street Fighter Ultimate Warrior/Blanka figure on clearance.

I was like "Wait, I've never seen this before." 2026 copyright date. Turns out a bunch of brand-new stuff was on the clearance aisle, no doubt leading to an empty toy aisle for another 6 months.

Discontinued Food News! This will be especially devastating for those of you, who like me, have the childhood sensory memory of clunking a cylinder of orange slush around in a plastic pitcher of water with a wooden spoon to produce the most underwhelming OJ imaginable, burned into your brain!

Now spinning Tomita's The Planets, which is Holst's The Planets but more electronic. It's really cool. I found a 1976 pressing over the weekend.
