hey gawker dudes. what the fuck is wrong with you?

extra chuckle layer

It’s always a nice wink at an unknowing audience when a movie has two characters butting heads at the beginning of the movie, but then by the end they've fallen in love. It’s harmless fun that most people don’t even catch because they don’t know enough about what’s happening in the movie yet. But on future watches it gives a little extra chuckle layer for people to enjoy.

You have him confused with Buzzfeed, Stevie. A really Casey headline would read: Holy Crap Eating Sriracha Bacon is Hilariously Epic.

lol

"when a movie reveals a huge spoiler within the movie itself" is an amazing phrase, it's like a particularly thick child's understanding of narrative

^^^ I keep typing and deleting things because nothing I write can capture the level of bemused wonder that phrase is evoking within me

It's always hilarious to think of think of the years of journalism school and mag/news/web experience and occassional actual reporting that all the gawker staffers have, and then their lunch gets eaten practically every day on their own site by some dude who posts variations of like "this pikachu on espresso foam is amazing"

Films should really come with foreshadow alerts.

TRIGGER WARNING: foreshadowing, dramatic conflict, explosions

Whatever. It's better than Hamilton Nolan.

respect

Like all of HamNo's headlines for the pads two days/ week/ month/ ??? Can pretty much be summarized or oh sorry abstracted as: "We Are The Only Honest Intelligent Humans, And By We I Mean The Author"

Also the Hillary Is A Manipulative Bitch series of stories is almost as entertaining as 500 days of Kristin, but I'm guessing the fan base for the latter is a lot more fun at parties

Would watch 500 Days of J0rdan trying new foods.

you'll get about 10 of them

ha, I don't think I've ever seen you eat.

food is such a bore

What happened in your life that you never had a raisin

If you're eating rotten food. xpost

nonrotten costs too much

sustenance-only is fine with me

When you would have ants on a log in elementary school would you be like, "Just log, please"

i ate celery and peanut butter as recently as two days ago

Plain log, I can't even

Is this why you refused to have dinner with me on Saturday, because you were worried a raisin might be there?

raisins are gross tbh

I used to like yogurt raisins in the early '90s.

Raisin Bran?? Raisin bread??

This is the most offensive thing Jordan has written on gawker

the raisin was the worst thing i ate in this series

my raisin experience is similar to Alfred's, too many novelty raisin concoctions in my youth and I can't imagine buying them now

The yogurt coating: Sugar, Partially Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil, Nonfat Milk Powder, Yogurt Powder, Whey, Titanium Dioxide, Soy Lecithin, Vanilla, Confectioners Glaze, Corn Syrup, Dextrin, and Maltodextrin

i ate a trail mix of raisins and nuts for lunch for most of 2015 AMA

ok i saw the story, what the hell kind of life have you led J0rdan

wait many smoothies have banana in them, had you not eaten a banana or _any_ banana product

i had the same question, only about Runts (tm)

(i realize there is no actual food in runts, but i just mean the flavor)

it's hard to avoid banana, my friend who is allergic ends up vomiting with extreme force every couple years after a banana sneaks in

is this part of pareene's cool political content masterplan?

He has his raisins

loool

what happens to viral content deferred / does it dry up / like a video on a gawker subsite

I poured myself a bowl of cereal, adding banana slices on top. Not so bad.

how is this a real human being? someone detonate a car bomb in 'flatiron'

this is so mind-blowing to me

"taste's very strange!"

lool my gf's 33 year old cousin cousin is like this. we were eating GRAPES and he was like 'never ate one of those, what do they taste like'. his mother: 'yeah, i tried to feed him a grape when he was 3 years old and he didn't like them' and we're like '... and you never tried a grape again?'

I haven't tried ketchup since I was in elementary school. I've eaten food with ketchup-based sauces, but I don't dump a blob of Heinz on my burger or anything. I'm not concerned about what I may be missing. I was a finicky kid. I first tried pizza at age 23.

his mother: 'yeah, i tried to feed him a grape when he was 3 years old and he didn't like them' and we're like '... and you never tried a grape again?'

this was me & oranges until very recently tbh

i'd had orange juice though

wait many smoothies have banana in them, had you not eaten a banana or _any_ banana product

yeah i mostly knew what banana tasted like, from smoothies certainly

Oranges are so good and such a pain in the ass to eat.

I loaded this thread up from "my recent posts" and it kind of felt like one of those dreams where everybody else is speaking english except you

I don't know man, this kinda freaks me out but it's going to be hard to post here about why without sounding really, really judgey about you and your parents and I don't want to do that because that sounds mean- but . . . like . . . I'm baffled- how were you allowed to grow up without tasting these things?

I guess my gut reaction rests on some shitty assumptions that I ought to rethink, such as:

the best people eat the widest variety of possible things (i.e. the more different kinds of foods you've tried, the more "sophisticated" / "cosmopolitan" / "worldly" / "experienced" you are- and it's better to be those things than to eat only a relatively narrow sector)

parents are responsible for making their children love variety because loving variety is itself better than only loving a relatively small number of things- and there's some kind of ethical/political dimension to the cultivation of that very love- it's a kind of openness to the world itself in which you incorporate the things of the world into your body- to dislike a food is to deny the validity of the culture from which it emanates or the lifeways that produced it (therefore liberal tolerance and "foodie" identity reinforce each other in a marketplace of smug / enlightened neocolonial consumption of other lands)

"picky eating" must be overcome through parenting in which it's not optional to refuse to try a food (on the negative side, I heard the mantra "you don't have to like it, you just have to eat it" MANY times as a child, on the "positive" side, as a child I was rewarded for academic achievements by being allowed to go to various ethnic restaurants which were described to me as the precious terrain of adults- so to become an adult for me MEANT being finally being allowed to eat at, say, the Burmese place or whatever- i.e. my very sense of what it meant to develop into a successful grown up was tethered to the idea that you're supposed to never stop trying things you haven't tried yet, and the more you've tried, the better you are, and life is this attempt to fill in the world map of food with ever more precision)

looking at what I've typed above I can see how self-serving / precious / narcissistic it sounds, and how it basically consigns all people who stick to a religious diet / are kosher / are vegan / are allergic / whatever to some kind of benighted darkness as unenlightened and provincial or in some way inhibited souls

SO . . .

I guess this means that I have to rethink my own shitty attitudes about food snobbery, so thank you for being honest about the fact that you lived for 27 years on planet Earth without eating a banana
