buns

Dear god the buns. Sympathize greatly with you there.

They have lots of buns and lots of patties to choose from, and they choose the ones that look the best.

The hype was there, the price was right, and netbooks sold like hot buns. But one size did not fit all, and now we have some satisfied owners and some dissatisfied ones.

A Yes Q Can I see your invoices for 500,000 buns please? The profit margin is not high enough for it to be worth ordering extra stock and throwing it out.

Well it turns out that the moment you play "hot cross buns" on your instrument, you are indeed a musician. Perhaps not a skilled one, but you have in fact made music.

I had people try and catch me on whether Kirkland was on the east or west side of Lake Washington; deep grilling on the specific chinese buns we ate; it goes on and on. I don't think I ever made it through with less than five minutes of solid grilling.

There may also be a "hot dogs in packages of 8, buns in packages of 6" dimension to choosing the odd-sized in-game prices/currency-bundles. A user who has a little in-game change left may feel they have to add more, to get full value on their previous purchases.

It's not the same with cable TV. A better analogy would be that you wanted to buy a loaf of bread, but the grocery store forced you to also buy hot dog and hamburger buns with it along with some bagels. Say you're a vegetarian or don't like hot dogs or hamburgers, and you'll never use them, but you have to buy them anyway.

Because that's misleading, making you think a person was more involved in the creation of the bun than merely a machine operator pouring powder and water in one end and cranking buns out the other.

There are exceptions though; I can walk into any In'n'Out and order my burger "Protein style, allergy" and whoever makes it will change their gloves, cook everything in an area away from where the buns are toasted, and spread condiments with a clean knife. One of the many reasons why In'n'Out is not merely one of the best fast food restaurants in the world, but simply one of the best things in the world.

Buying several hot dogs and buns at once--keeping them refrigerated, and heating what you eat in the microwave--is a lot cheaper in the long run than buying one pre-warmed hot dog from the convenience store whenever you get hungry. A car that starts and operates reliably is so valuable in America that people would rather give up their houses and live in their cars than vice versa.

These fit alongside Madagascar vanilla and artisanal hamburger buns. But "unapologetically plastic" clearly doesn't.

So they do it, and time passes, and another bushy-tailed MBA comes along, and does another study, and concludes that removing another five sesame seeds wouldn't hurt either, and would save even more money, and so on and so forth, every year or two, the new management trainee looking for ways to save money proposes removing a sesame seed or two, until eventually, they're shipping hamburger buns with exactly three sesame seeds artfully arranged in a triangle, and nobody buys their hamburgers any more.

The other thing is that hot dogs go with buns, and there's sadly no magical buns in this universe. Each and every bun has to be created, and costs money. So you set up your hot dog stand, selling magical hot dogs with non-magical buns. You charge a premium rate because you're the only guy in town who managed to make a magical hot dog of this quality, and with it's unique flavour. Besides, the buns are still costing you money, and they have to come from somewhere. Now you notice some guy has found out that the magical hot dog you sold him can make new hot dogs at no cost, but they don't have the buns attached.
