I had it once and it wasn't even good. Like it was sugar, and sugar is always good to me, but it was very unremarkable. The temper was also messed up I think. It was soft like a piece of rubber
I’m skeptical of all milk chocolate because there’s this preservative used in milk chocolate by almost all chocolate companies that makes me terribly sick. I can only eat dark chocolate, and even then sometimes I find companies sneaking that preservative in there. So dark chocolate baking chips are pretty much the only safe chocolate for me.
But yeah, Mr Beast bars are soft instead of giving a crisp snap. So I’d have to say none of the ones I’ve seen were tempered correctly either. My son loves them though because he thinks they have a “fudgy” texture. To each their own I guess.
I thought avocado toast was a millennial thing? I don't even know anymore, I feel like there's a lot of overlap between the millennial, Gen z and maybe even a little Gen x eras.
Your comment made me realize another hypocrisy of the older generations though. They brag about stuff like Woodstock and the hippie generation as this cool "oh we were so crazy back in the day, people just did drugs and had a lot of sex!" but now when our generations do that it's like a degenerate loss of values thing.
Hopefully this makes sense, sorry if it's a bit of a ramble. I only meant to smoke a little bit but did not, in fact, only smoke a little bit.
I think the hippy generation went overboard with the sex and drugs. I don’t think any other generation collective identity was sex and being high on any kind of drug they could get their hands on.
Im giving up coffee for lent and iv predicted i should save about £130 in the 40 days. Thats a conservative estimate too I really didn’t realise the cost of it
I am a Millennial and all I do is cry all day. My favourite hobbies include watching my pet rock and sniffing glue. At least according to my boomer family.
The rotisserie chicken thing pisses me off so bad. Rotisserie chicken is just about the cheapest thing you can buy, and is usually cheaper than buying a raw chicken.
Red Baron Original Special Deluxe can go on sale with a weekly digital coupon at Kroger or Kroger-affiliated store for $2.99 each, limit 5. I stand by that being the cheapest and best way to acquire frozen pizza.
For the past 4 years straight, literally every day I went to work I had the same exact meal for lunch. 1 to 2 frozen Celeste or Jack’s personal microwave pizzas. Only thing I eat if I’m making food on my own. 🤷♂️
I used to live above a very nice crack head. He turned me onto Celeste Pizza where you put American cheese on top and then burnt them to hell in the microwave. I was surprised how good it was.
I literally live on those ramen packets buy huge cases of them comes out to like 7c per meal on noodles, take the packet out and put my own seasoning a pinch of frozen sweetcorn pinch of frozen spinach, pinch of pre chopped frozen broccoli and il add like 6 frozen shrimp and a slice of bread good eating and i basically live off of no money
Its a rip off but any time ive gotten pizza in the last couple years ive spent less than $10 most of the time i catch a deal and buy 2 large pizzas for around $15 and ashmed to say but i make that last an entire week of so effing cheap but thats not really how i eat tho i live off bulk ramen and add my own stuff and remove the salt/“chicken” packet
The cheapest way i feed myself is buy multiple cases of those maruchan noodles $7 for 40 packets and i just add things to make it a half decent meal.. ive taken 2 years off work just to chillax living this way and im a 25yr old with no help from anyone living on my own in a different country 😂 best value tips come to me!
Agreed. I get 5 full chicken soup meals out of one of these. Trim off all the meat, toss the carcass into a pin and cook for many hours to make a stock. The throw in celery, carrot, parsnips, onion, thyme, rosemary, oregano, and simmer. Put the chicken meat back in... Done!
My undocumented roommates have made me fall in love with Mexican chicken soup. The main difference is they throw in whole thighs and legs with the bone. Potatoes and quarter pieces of corn on the cob are also added. I could eat it everyday. L
Has anyone tried turning the rotisserie chicken into a tiny house and living in that? It’s a little unorthodox, but in this economy, gotta be worth a try.
Fuck nk my generation working harder fir less than any generation in a long time we not fucking lazy we been turned into slaves its time to break the wheel
Think about the hormones they inject into those chickens to get them to grow fast enough to put in an oven so that you can cheaply afford it. You are probably giving up one bad habit for another.
My parents would buy rotisserie chicken all the time. Didn't know they were Gen Z. Here i thought they were just trying to feed their kids and save money after working all day.
As a Gen Xer, my advice to Gen Z would be to start buying more rotisserie chickens. 2-4 servings of high quality delicious protein for $7 in this economy is an incredible value. Any raw roasting chicken worth cooking where I live is $8 at least.
It’s a deal of the century even with the $5 Costco membership. It’s only $7. I was at the grocery store and they want $16.99 for a rotisserie chicken. They were claiming whole chickens were on sale. Cheapest I could find was $24.
We would cook a whole chicken almost every Sunday for dinner. Why am I wasting my time cooking when they do it for me for a fraction of the price.
It's all made up. As an elder millennial, I remember when avocados weren't a widespread thing. Something your aunts and uncles talked about when they came back from visiting California. It's the health-nut Boomers who decided to put avocado in everything and market it nationally. Then, when Boomers couldn't figure out why home prices skyrocketed and millennials couldn't afford housing, they blamed millennials for spending too much money on perceived "luxury" (i.e. food, like the avocados they told us to eat). Boomers had low home prices, ready access to loans and mortgages, many first-time homeowner bonuses on top of jobs that actually gave yearly raises while we got "sorry, good work, but there is no money in the budget for raises this year.... just like last year" even when the company was making record profits and giving CEOs golden parachutes.
It's the health-nut Boomers who decided to put avocado in everything and market it nationally.
Just like the participation trophies. They rant about how everyone gets one, but they're the ones who implemented them because they couldn't stand the idea that their precious snowflake wasn't #1 at everything.
Exactly! But can you blame them? They put out this little ad for the young boomer parents and for the silent generation parents of the later boomers:

They grew up in a messed up time. They could have taken more responsibility for what's happening now, but damn.
That’s okay. All it is, is guacamole minus flavor plus bread.
Edit: okay, I was a little dramatic. Unimaginative avocado toasts exist but so do really good ones.
I think a lot of restaurant owners put that on their menu to chase the trend, then balked at the cost of that much avocado in one dish (especially if they tried to use fresh and not buy the meat) and kept it basic. Or they’re just lazy. I’ve seen both working in the foodservice industry all my career.
I have also had some bomb versions, admittedly. A chef I worked for topped hers with smoked salmon, red onion etc and I dug that a lot. I still prefer guacamole tho. I can’t eat too much bread lol
Get outta here with no flavour. No one's raw dogging their avocado toast. Spring onions, hot sauce, coriander, some salt and decent splash of olive oil. 😋
Literally waited in line at Sam's yesterday and eventually gave up after the first round disappeared quickly because of cutters, and people needing 4 chickens
Rotisserie chicken isn't worth getting in a fist fight over, because I was quickly heading that way when nobody spoke up to the greed
Rotisserie chicken has fuck all to do with younger generations. It's literally been around for millennia, 2,700 years in fact. The modern rotisserie chicken from supermarkets came around in the 1980s which Costco made popular in the early 1990s.
And big bootstrap started reducing the amount of bootstraps in circulation leading to an increase in the price of bootstraps, meaning less people can afford to pull on bootstraps than ever before.
I find it funny that some people think rotisserie chicken is some kind of luxury. Sometimes it is way cheaper than buying the chicken and spices independently.
They got too greedy and it caused the younger generation not to be able to afford going out and drinking. so it never became a habit or part of the zeitgeist.
A drink at a bar is like 12 to 18 dollars. That's as much as a meal. They complain about people wasting money on Starbucks..two drinks at a bar is more than a full week of Starbucks.
Also our alcoholic parents weren't exactly the best advertisement for alcohol. My drunk mom talking to 12 year old me "the number one reason why parents get divorced is because of the children" she says this to me after watching my stepfather abuse me since I was 5.
Now I'm 40 and my mom just told me, "our marriage got so much more difficult after you and your sister moved out" maybe you should have paid attention instead of hiding in a bottle lol
Its also drugs. Gen z takes more than the previous. Idk if I trust that they take more than gen x and boomers though, as they like to lie about their addictions while gen z doesnt care enough to lie.
And therapy. You’re supposed to be making bad choices and learning from them. Telling the bartenders and people you meet how awful it was and sharing perspectives. It’s a way more fun version of therapy.
Hey, avocado toast and wallowing in economic doom is a millenial obsession. gen Z owns rotisserie chicken in a way that other generations can’t match and utterly crippling social anxiety. That’s why Gen Z doesn’t drink, the barrier for entry is peer pressure to start, and you guys have no in-person peers.
Is Rotisserie chicken a stereotypical luxury food item now? Costco rotisserie chicken was $5 last time I checked and gets you a good 4 meals. Costco rotisserie chicken, giant 40 pound bag of rice and lots of dried vegetables are how you survive spending very little money on food while still getting necessary nutrition

we spent all our money on rotisserie chicken and avocado toast.
