This week on The Criterinot Podcast I’m joined by New Yorker staff writer and prolific Twitter user Naomi Fry to talk about Adventures in Babysitting, Elvis crapping to death, Beverly Hills 90210, Melrose Place, Matthew Modine, and why young people looked so old in the 80s.
[ID 1 : A photo of a dark blue box that says “Frankford” in a rectangle in the top left corner of the front, with a circle outlined in light blue in the center of the top half. Inside the circle, in a red outlined white rectangle, is the brand name “Kraft”. Below that, in larger, orange-tinged yellow text, are the words “macaroni & cheese” and a orangeish yellow elbow noodle (a short arc of pasta tube) is positioned like a smile underneath the text. Below the circle of the text and image, large white text reads “Gummies”. Below that, several orangeish yellow noodles are arrayed around a clear plastic-covered cutout. The cutout is shaped like a spoon rising up from the bottom of the box at an angle. Within the cutout, we can see thick orangeish yellow shapes like chonkier versions of the iconic elbow noodle. At the bottom of the cover, against a orangeish yellow background rectangle, dark blue text reads “Gummy candy”, “Artificially flavored”, and the weight (5.6 ounces / 160 grams).
ID 2 : A screenshot of text that reads : “ a defining metaphysical law in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion. Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made.”
What do you consider the pillars of your diet? Like not what you consider the most delicious, or even necessarily your “favorite” food, but the food that if you look within your heart and are honest with yourself actually eat more often than anything else? I think mine is toast, broccoli, and eggs
