Nah, lets give em a good wafting load of nasty garlic sauce. You can even ask them to go light on the garlic sauce, it's like talking to a wall, they just douse the pizza in the stuff, it's sickening.

    I wonder if he accounts for improved worker productivity in his math.

    Weird! I haven't had that experience. Maybe the problem is quitting pot, but that you need to start it! But for real, I haven't had this problem. Maybe I just really, really like garlic though.

    It's difficult to do any heavy lifting when it comes to modeling if you pull numbers directly out of your ass.

    Diet Pepsi is OK, though. Diet Mountain Dew and the rest of that stuff is just... fuck.

    People don't seem to understand that these burdens and excessive regulations on big corporations hit small businesses even harder.

    That would require him to accept that he was screwing his workers over before, instead of just blaming it on this bill. Not to mention that Walmart has been doing this sort of thing for years to keep costs low. It is uber-Capitalism. Free Market is the bestest.

    Oddly, the ACA exempts any businesses that have less than 50 Employees.

    Obamacare has exemptions for small businesses.

    Hell no. Then again, I tend to taste subtle flavors in food in extremes. Cilantro tastes heavily like soap, beans taste heavily like wax (same with avocado), cauliflower is extremely bitter to me (as it dark chocolate), energy drinks and just about everything similar tastes very similar to cough syrup, etc.

    Yeah, I think there's some specific allele that causes that if I recall. I love cilantro, and my ex hated it for the same reason you say. Cooking Mexican food sucked as a result.

    Energy drinks are all fucking awful. I'm with you there.

    Well, do energy drinks taste like cough syrup to you?

    dark chocolate is way too strong/intense. milk chocolate is clearly the best.

    Not quite, but they taste like extremely sugary crap with no redeeming qualities at all. For some awful reason, my buddy and I drank like 6 cans of Diet Monster one night when we had to make a long ass drive though. It's good for staying awake!

    I find both amazing. I love white chocolate too.

    I don't know, I tend to see the best in every type of food. I'm discerning within types, but almost every type of food tastes good to me when it's done right for my tastes.

    Red Bull tastes like cough syrup to me. I can't, for the life of me, understand how it got so popular. Monster and AMP, on the other hand, taste rather good.

    So does Bawls.

    Yeah, too me, they taste very similar to cough syrup if it had been sugared and carbonated in an attempt to pass it off as a soda or something.

    Yeah, that's spot on. I could never quite put my finger on what I hate about them, but cough syrup with a ton of sugar and carbonation is exactly how they taste to me.

    I saw this on my facebook, too.

    People need to do research before reposting these mindless memes.

    Papa John's is a Franchise company. If you don't know what a Franchise is, go look it up for the love of god.

    The stores you see with the Papa John's logos? They aren't owned by Papa John's the company. They're owned by small business owners all over the US.

    Most likely, Papa John's won't be reducing anyone's hours, because most of their employees are already full time and already on healthcare with the company. The people who will be reducing the hours, and cutting jobs, are the franchise owners. Because they have to get by, too.

    I suggest you do some more research.

    Papa Johns INTL sells both franchises (and takes 5-7% of their profits) and also operates many of its own stores in a corporate environment. Not every Papa Johns is a franchise.

    I wonder why they taste like that? I had the same reaction to Mountain Dew: Game Fuel. At first I thought it was the caffeine, but I recently accidentally added 150mg of caffeine to about 18 ounces of coke and it didn't taste like that. I was seeing if I could make strawberry Coke and used some packet of Crystal Light, but didn't notice until after I poured it in that it was the energy type. That reminds me, why do companies get to put shit on their packaging like "2.5 servings per packet" when it recommends you add the entire packet to 20 ounces of water and the packet has no way of practically resealing or carrying it around without spilling?
