In liquid nitrogen? The picture makes it look like some sort of "chocolatey" coating. That is hand dipped, they took it in their hand, and dipped it into something. Makes it worth that extra $1.30 Ranks right up there with Tito's "Handmade" vodka.

It is decent ice cream - as in higher butterfat (or some fat, could be lard for all I know). It's not bargain basement, back of the freezer, store brand ice cream made with no dairy, lots of vegetable oil, and ice crystals. But is not really anything so all fired special either. As others have...

But, but, but, "hand dipped" Ranks right up there with hand spun, and artisanal.

Been there, done that. Well I was not up for termination, I just got told "you really should not have done that." Then I got asked to go to court as a witness.

That sounds all well and good, and then it happens, and then the adrenalin dump happens, and next thing you know you are tackling a guy in the parking lot and then chasing him down the middle of the street.

We do that sort of thing in my job. We have open forums where we solicit ideas from other employees. The thing is, there is no reciprocal feedback given (for the most part). As others have said, teams that are working on something under either a formal NDA or under a "dark project"...

I have never stayed at Vero, but have been to Hilton Head. With a 5 month old, I would not worry about entertainment for the baby. It's more about things you can do with him/her that are easily adaptable. If you do want to go to the beach, then I would say Vero Beach, since getting to the...

That is called having a kid. It pertains not just to WDW, but to life in general when you have kids. I guess when I took my kids to WDW when they were small (not infants, but small) I went in with the same expectations that I had towards my life with kids in general. They are kids, you are...

I always wonder about things like this. I'm not in Marketing, but I am "Marketing tangential" - as in I am in process improvement and program malmanagement, but I work with the Marketing teams (and CX teams and UX teams, etc) I have never once in my life been in the market for a new car, and...

It is a balancing act for sure. I did not want to be a helicopter parent, but neither did I want to take too many risks with my kids. I know that growing up in the 1970s and 1980s we were pretty much left to our own devices - especially in my family. My brother and I now tell my mother things...

All good. You are right, the top lock is about 6' off the ground. My daughter was 11 or 12 at the time. At that age she just worried the heck out of me. She was very adventurous with no sense of self preservation.

This is what was in place when we were there at the end of June. My wife had a tin of Altiods, that set it off (according to the guard "It happens all of the time with Altoids") and my daughters battery pack for phone charging set it off. My wife just ditched the Altiods tin, and my daughter...

I remember the bicentennial - barely, I was 6. But I do remember there being a build up and planning for quite a while beforehand. Maybe because one of my friend's mother was on our local bicentennial committee, but I remember there being planning, and talks, and things like that went on in...

There are chairs and ottomans in the room. She was a very . . . . . ambitious, youngster.
