The Random Thought Thread
Bravopilot So, why is it called Grape-Nuts? As with many great emblems in history, there are two versions of the story. One says that Mr. Post believed glucose, which he called “grape sugar,” formed during the baking process. This, combined with the nutty flavor of the cereal, is said to have inspired its name. Another explanation claims that the cereal got its name from its resemblance to grape seeds, or grape “nuts.”
There is a series on TV that does various things that built America. One is about foods that made America and there is a very good show about how Kellogg and Post got their starts.

I'm about done with Wal-Mart. Just had the rudest, most foul-mouthed cashier.
Never using self-checkout if I go there again!
As if Disney doesn’t suck enough these days, apparently they’ve yanked their content from DirecTV now. Can’t say I’ll miss much.

Yeah, last night I was surprised to see the message on my TV. Couldn’t watch ABC so no LSU game. And this morning watching the awful NBC Today Show.

Yipsy Ya think this Washington Commanders employee's getting fired?
You'd think a man in his position would be more careful. Good grief. . This was a presumed "date" with the journalist (hidden camera). I guess this was his way of trying to get laid?
Edit: he's been suspended.

I get doing sting videos to expose government agencies or government funded entities, but I really don't understand a sting video targeting an NFL team exec. Is this a John Gruden revenge hit or something?
He's obviously in the wrong line of work, promoting ticket sales
