There oughta be a law against....

[Eeyore]

So i guess this will be a thread about pet peeves.. my biggest pet peeve, by a huge margin- is when you are watching television , then a commercial comes on- and the volume is literally DOUBLE the volume of the television program you are watching.. and it’s gotten worse over the last 10 or 15 years.. it’s obnoxious and intrusive .. And yes, there should absolutely be a law against it .

Loud Commercials on TV

TV stations are prohibited from boosting the average volume of commercials to levels beyond the programs they accompany.

To get around the rule they switch to a different sound format for the commercials (or that's what they did when I cared about it).

You’re right, everyone knows that the proper response is ‘What HAD happened ?’

If I ask where the store locates something....then actually nothing has "happened".
There was no event that took place.
Correct?

I'm simply seeking information.

We may have talked about this before. I'm nothing if not repetitive. Plus, I'm old and forget things.

But, I think even the not real cheese has it's place. I would not put it on a hot dog or a burger for that matter, but there is something comforting about it on a grilled cheese sandwich. Probably has to do with the association to childhood. I feel the same way about a McDonal's cheeseburger. It's not really food or a cheeseburger, but there is an association with childhood that somehow makes it "good". Although I usually go many years between having one.

"Real" American cheese is basically unaged cheddar (sometimes with emulsifiers to make it melty). It's delicious.

And, I believe I've made my position clear on cheese adjacent products.

American cheese has no place.. it’s not even the fact that it’s “fake” that bothers me, it’s the taste.. that horrid plastic taste.. id be willing to wager you dont even like the taste of it on ur hot dogs, it’s just some type of weird nostalgia you might have about your sweet old Uncle Fred who used to put Kraft slices on ur hot dogs when you were a kid or some such nonsense.. it has no place .

Huh, today I learned that other people know what I like more than myself. Who would have known?

You've certainly made your position clear on the canned cheeses.

Perfect example on why it should be against the law. It spreads like The Clap in Baltimore during Fleet Week.
