I hope your life is horrible without baseball!

MLB FoodFest is a two-day, indoor festival in New York City that gives fans the opportunity to try dishes from all 30 ballparks, from the Dodgers' lauded Cheeto-Lote to the Mariners' toasted grasshoppers.

On top of the eats, we'll also be keeping your IG feed fed with a hot dog art gallery, massive popcorn pit, and more.

The Yankees' signature dish is an adobo bao?

Lol at the Rockies' dish being a cheeseburger and fries.

This is their Black Panther

I had vowed never to attend another wedding and…I'm attending two weddings this year.

I want to wear something to said weddings that's interesting but won't irk the bride or groom's parents.

Jon: Damn, mariachi suits are expensive.
Jon: You think a mariachi costume is passable?

Rory:

Jon: 1. Wearing a beige polo to a wedding?
Jon: 2. Assembling a close approximation of that outfit seems arduous.
Jon: 3. Will anyone get the reference? Particularly since I'm not black?

Rory:

Go Join Lonely Virgil

Why does the top of that giant slot machine read "East Lansing" in Michigan State colours?

I'm inside The D on Fremont Street.

Huh. The top of the giant slot machine on its other side reads "Ann Arbor" in Michigan colours.

I google "the d east lansing slot machine."

TripAdvisor:

The business rooms have names like Saginaw and Petosky.

Is The D supposed to be a Michigan-themed hotel and casino? Because…

Wikipedia:

The D stands for "downtown," and also refers to [majority owner] Derek Stevens' nickname, and Stevens' hometown of Detroit.

So not Michigan-themed, but with a hint of Michigan.

That explains its American Coney Island outpost.

What is the most money that someone has ever won from a slot machine in an airport?

As per this article:

The largest jackpot ever won at Reno-Tahoe airport happened in 2010, when someone won $10.4 million in a Megabucks machine.

The largest jackpot ever won at McCarran airport was $3.9 million on a Wheel of Fortune slot machine in 2005.


Driver: That's where the shooting happened.
Me: Oh! It's…not adjacent to Mandalay Bay.

Vegas has the chattiest Uber/Lyft drivers.

What is Cheesecake Factory about these?


Wikipedia » Kit Kat:

Kit Kat is produced globally by Nestlé with the exception of the United States where it is made under license by The Hershey Company.

This is like Disney owning everything Star Wars except A New Hope.

Nestlé has to honour a licensing agreement which allows Hershey to retain the Kit Kat licence so long as Hershey is not sold.

As Kit Kat is one of Hershey's top five brands in the US market, the Kit Kat licence was a key factor in Hershey's failed attempt to attract a serious buyer in 2002.

Kit Kat: A lucrative albatross.

Nestlé doesn't want Reese's and Twizzlers in its portfolio?
