Being honest, probably not much, but the amount isn’t zero. I guess I’m just not seeing how creating any kind of brand confusion helps an established brand like goldfish when people will just forget about this kind of thing almost immediately.
Shorter version, you’re right that it isn’t a large expenditure, but god, it’s so dumb.
It’s the same as when IHOP renamed themselves the International House of Burgers to promote their stupid burger menu then immediately changed back.
I’d love to know how much stunts like this actually convince anyone to consciously or unconsciously purchase more of whatever the marketing team is being paid to promote (I’m guessing nowhere near enough to cover their salaries and the stunt itself).
DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY
I hate these filthy Neutrals Kiff. With enemies you know where they stand, but with Neutrals, who knows. It sickens me.
I know there’s maybe a 5% chance of it happening soon, but I’d kill for this to hit before I go on vacation in July. Balatro would be outstanding to play on my iPad during a long flight.
Looks delicious!
Just got to Act III in Baldur’s Gate 3, and god damnit is it good. I played and loved the original 2 games when they came out, but I didn’t have the time to devote time to it when it came out on consoles in the summer. Glad I waited, and even more pleased that it lived up to the hype (and then some)!
I also started the Valhalla DLC for God of War Ragnarok, and it’s OUTSTANDING. it’s a great palette cleanser in between BG3 or if I just want a short play session since the runs are only 20 minutes or so. The Roguelite formula is perfect for GoW, and I’m really hoping more AAA games try something similar to extend their lifespan. I highly recommend checking it out.
I have returned from my 1,000th lifetime watch of that video to say your instincts are indeed correct.
I took ZERO offense my friend, your original comment absolutely put a smile on my face :)
This looks amazing. But it also reminds me of Hamburger Helper, in which case it’s still amazing.
Fair.
I might be drunk and hungry, for the record.
Also fair.
Those are all great follow-up tips on the making-of. I really appreciate you being so detailed in the thread on your process and how it turned out, it’s always good to get an inside look at the breakdown of what went right or wrong.
Thanks! I usually do a prime rib, but decided to switch it up this year and do pastas. I made this, a mac & cheese, and some crab dip as an appetizer. I’m still bursting at the seems 12 hours later, but it was worth it.
This looks fantastic! Excellent job with a very tricky recipe :)
This was a one meal kind of day, but I’m not about to look up the calorie count any time soon.
Total was $30. Cheaper than Five Guys and most restaurant meals, but that’s more indicative of how bad prices are in general than this place specifically
To be fair, it was exactly $30, but with the current exchange rate you’d only be paying about €29! It’d be a bargain at twice the price!
Regardless, well played!
Couldn’t get the lowered zero on mine. I appreciate you getting the math joke though :)
They definitely notice, why do you think they’re pushing the birth rate and great replacement theory BS so damn hard? They want everyone young, broke and uneducated so they can keep the grift going.
