The States : red states in a race to the bottom

Fair report:

Took u of m buses. Boarded with group of energetic seniors all wearing bright red shirts that said “that’s not fair, gop tax cuts for billionaires” and high fiving people

Royce White has a stand

Amazing paella. While in line at the dairy barn for my malt, a woman with 2 kids started screaming at an old, disabled woman on scooter, accused old lady of looking at her kids and called her a cunt, while her kids watched. Old disabled lady screamed “you’re a cunt” and this was 1045am in the dairy building

that does not live up to my expectation of "Minnesota nice"
 
Okay, as an out-stater Minnesotan who never attended the largest fair in all the land, and likely never will (still- fuck you, Texas), how does a Sweet Martha’s chocolate chip cookie stack up against a Nestlé Toll House chocolate chip cookie? Hovey said if Martha’s cookies aren’t warm, they’re garbage. That alone is enough for me to pick a Toll House cookie, but what else is happening here?

Martha’s are served warm, and are OK.

Problem is when you get a giant fucking bucket they don’t stay warm and they are nowhere near good enough for me to care

They’re the same general type of cookie except Martha’s uses more butter (flatter, greasier cookie) and at least a majority of white sugar (they’re crispier).

Tollhouse are better.
 
jfc you're all missing the point. It's not that Matha's are the greatest cookie of all time - they're not. It's more the experience of one person getting in line for a bucket, another going to the milk tent, then sitting under a tree and gorging for the next 10 minutes until you can't take it anymore. When did everyone here become so freaking old at heart and literal? 🤣

Here is the deal about Martha's cookies.

When you walk away from the stand, and if you like chocolate chip cookies, you're going to really like them. They're great. Overloaded with gooey chocolate chips.

But here is the problem. You can basically buy them in a paper cup (in which you get plenty of cookies, truthfully) or you can buy them in a pail. And everyone buys them in a pail. Because its the state fair and it's all about excess and when you go to the fair you throw out whatever diet you were on for that one day anyway.

But there are a lot of cookies in that pail. Even when it was my wife and our three girls, all of whom like cookies, it was my goal that we could eat enough of them so that I could put the lid on the pail so it wasn't a hassle to haul around. But then comes the next morning, when you open that lid and now you have what I can only describe as a chocolate chip meteorite. It's just this hard, ragged, dark looking object with sharp edges.

So, standing alone, single cookie against single cookie, hot out of the oven, Martha's really doesn't have to take a back seat to any chocolate chip cookie.

By the time you get home the cookies are almost inedible. The little paper cup is more than enough cookies.

SOH the fries were always a favorite!

I used to love the Fair...but going there now is just an anxiety attack waiting to happen and the food just does nothing for me now. Plus once you have worked there a couple times and you realize how shady it all is...it just loses its luster.
