I hate to tell the Macaron mom but no legit French macaron would be made in those day-glow colors like that. She was very defensive about her authenticity for someone who had totally Americanized macarons. I also was questioning that meeting with Weight Watchers when they said something about not wanting their products to have “artificial ingredients” when the macarons are full of food-colouring. I seriously doubt they were using special all-natural food colouring in them.

That’s not how it sounded to me. It sounded like if someone wants to see the furniture, they have to make an appointment to go to a home that already has it so that the potential buyer can check it out, and the homeowner gets paid a fee for the inconvenience (I think they said $20-50 per appointment). Presumably this would all be booked through the company website. I think it sounds really dumb, and is a great way for thieves to case a house, but I also think AirBnB is dangerous and rife with scams, so what do I know?

They sell plant-based deli meat at the big box grocery store near me already. So unless her product tastes vastly superior, the fuhgeddaboutit woman has already been beaten to the punch.

This guy was terrible and Marcus should have noped out of there at the first glimpse of the ukulele and the fact that dummy was legally changing his name to Coco Vinny. Marcus sticking around so long actually made Marcus look stupid.

I’m guessing a lot of the business The Yard does is people wanting to post the shakes on Instagram. It’s like those Starbucks unicorn drinks that were pretty but virtually inedibly gross.

It seemed to me that Mark was mad he wasn’t practicing anymore because we need more doctors practicing medicine, not doctors hawking the same old supplements but using their “doctor” title to give the supplements more credibility.

The golf cleats weren’t about saving money on golf shoes if you don’t play much, it was about being a golfer who wants cool golf shoes. They’re meant for golfers who play a lot and think that normal golf shoes are ugly and uncool. So the idea was that you shouldn’t buy the ugly golf shoes when you can just buy cool sneakers and turn them into golf shoes. The buyers aren’t ruining cool sneakers by adding cleats— they’re making cool golf shoes that they plan to get use out of.

I liked the idea of the knife sharpening service for the convenience of mailing them in and having them sent back, but the price really isn’t great. I understand it costing more than when I have to take my knives in for sharpening myself (shipping cost plus convenience has value), but it’s still overpriced. They said $10 per knife, but that’s not accurate. According to their website, it’s only $10 per knife if you’re having TEN KNIVES sharpened, otherwise it’s more. I don’t even have ten knives, and doubt most home chefs do. It sounds more like a good service for commercial kitchens than home kitchens.

I liked the name Squid Socks. It made me think of tentacles and suction cups holding the socks on a baby’s feet. And it made for a cute logo. I don’t need product names to be that on-the-nose. It’s not like “Bombas” means anything obvious.

For the same reason the flashbacks of Walt showed Brian Cranston with a shaved head (bald cap). Continuity.

This is going to sound terrible, but it’s so strange for me to hear Tori Spelling’s voice coming out of that face. I didn’t watch any of her reality shows so I’m just not used to seeing her look so... different.

There is nothing worse than the guy who stands up at a panel to “ask a question” but actually gives a self-centered or self-involved diatribe. I’d dump Ryan for that, regardless of the cheating.

Ugh, yes. And when the guy is sitting in the car motionless, it's too risky for the sniper to take the shot. Yet when he and the hostage are struggling and moving around so that there's zero ability to be certain about your aim, that's suddenly the time to take the shot? Nice police work, guys.

Wow, I expected to see more people who thought this episode was as lame as I did. To me, it was virtually a long PSA about the dangers of texting while driving. Yes, phones and social media are addictive. Duh. They’ve done countless segments on the Today Show about this. This episode had nothing new to say. And Topher Grace was more Jack from Twitter than Zuckerberg with his silly new Age retreats and man-bun.

Agreed. It was more of a digital story in the first place. And I get them wanting to relate it to the digital/print conflict story. But in doing so, it made Jacqueline seem incompetent (to me) for not understanding how magazine timelines work. Well, now there’s a big gap in the next issue that Jane can fill with her whining about her boyfriend and examining the question of whether a drunk kiss is worth ending a relationship over. Also, Pinstripe is a dummy for telling her.

Why on earth would they confront the photographer when the story is still 3 weeks out from publication?? Did they think she was just going to shrug and say, "Oh well, guess there's nothing I can do."? Usually you seek response quotes from the subject at the very last moment for exactly this reason- to prevent the chance of being scooped or your story being manipulated. Are they new at this?!?

I know it isn't the point but Kyra Sedgewick looked amazing.

I think it was more like saying a dude can chug a bottle of alcohol and choose to rape a woman or he can chug a bottle of alcohol and choose not to rape a woman. But if he does do it, he'll probably blame the alcohol.

Honestly, the idea of showing the world that I eat enough fast food nuggets in my car to necessitate a specialized device to make it more efficient is horrifying. If I had it attached to my air vent and a friend saw it in my car and I had to explain it, I’d be super-embarrassed.

I thought it was strange that Mark's interest in Somnifix was specifically about a sports application in that it seems like a product that REALLY wouldn't work for sports, even if they can figure out the adhesive/sweat issue. For most team sports, the players need to be able to talk to each other-- good luck doing that when your mouth is taped shut. Plus, a player would have to take it off every time he/she needs to drink something, which is constant throughout most games. So you'd be going through dozens of those strips per player per game. This is why those Breathe Right strips make way more sense for sports-- you can keep your nasal passages open for breathing without interrupting your ability to use your mouth.

From what he said, I think the fee is always a flat $3. Since the max you can withdraw is $100, that's where the 3% language came from. It was confusing, but I think when he and Kevin were talking about the different fees between Spare and normal ATMs, they started talking in "percent" language and that just wound up sticking. But yeah, 3% would be great for the consumer if it applied to all small transactions, however the partner businesses would make no money.

Are people eating exclusively sub sandwiches these days? My husband and I were cracking up at the notion of a product designed for literally one type of sandwich. The bread aisle at the grocery store is 95% square slices of sandwich bread, which won’t fit in that dumb tube. But they got a deal, so what do we know?

I already do Dollar Shave Club subscription service and the razors are white. I’ve somehow still felt sufficiently feminine. Also the DSC subscription price is much cheaper than hers, so she is pretty much charging a “pink tax” after all.

Tallulah showed more personality than Jim Carey’s daughter, but I think Nev needs a more cynical co-host. Max’s charm was being frank about these dumb relationships.

Ugh. So much time wasted on characters who didn’t matter at all.
