Are Drive-Thru's destroying America?

and... MrBeast & Logan Paul Are Coming for Kraft's Lunch

Drought

Why are drive-thrus so popular? What happened to cozy, community-focused cafes? These days, if you're not offering a drive-thru, mobile ordering, or at least a partnership with DoorDash, you're basically waving goodbye to half your customers. Convenience is king, and you're either all in or totally out.

But seriously, are we really saving time? Drive-thru lines often crawl just as slowly as they do inside. And in the rush to shave off a whole four minutes, what are we missing? Small moments—like chatting with a neighbor or holding the door open for someone.

Sure, some days we want to avoid people, but guess what? We're all humans, like it or not. Good luck with that.

Abundance

Lunchly—talk about peak content creation. People are scratching their heads over this MrBeast, Logan Paul, and KSI collab, but honestly, why not? In a world driven by partnerships, bringing together the top creators of this generation makes perfect sense.

And let’s be real—Lunchables suck. As an ‘87 kid, I was force-fed Kit Kats, Crunch bars, and Capri Suns disguised as meals. Gross. Lunchly isn’t here to fix the world or make you healthy. It’s here to shake up a market where Lunchables have ruled for decades. With an 84% market share and $1.8 billion in sales last year, it's time for some competition.

Now, Jimmy, Logan, and KSI are about to steal Kraft's lunch and chug a coconut water after. Who’s next?

Indulgence

Fear

What will kill you first: PFAS, gluten, or the FECTAL BACTERIA ON YOUR CUTTING BOARD?!

Must be a slow news week over at F&W

What value does this type of ‘journalism’ provide? Why is a solid 1/3 of all information on the internet designed to create fear and uncertainty in viewers?

I just want to say, we’re not here to further feed into the anxiety machine. While some content you find from us here may concern themes of fear, disappointment, or uncertainty, please know that it is in no way meant to create those feelings in our audience.

If anything, I’d hope that you, the reader, can find solace, respite, or acceptance in the insights we provide. Maybe you can feel better about your own shortcomings, knowing that there are others out there who have f***** up just as bad, or worse, than you and are willing to share it with the world.

The last thing I would ever want to do is write content in an attempt to create more fear or confusion for people.

If you really think you have poop on your cutting board, just put it in the damn dishwasher. There, saved you 10 minutes on your time, you don’t need to read that article now.
