dog food

peanut butter

...where are you going with this, Ken?

[–] TeddE@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

Who's a good gym buddy? 🤔 Ken's a good gym buddy! 🐶

Ken has completed a set. Will you give them a treat?

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Except Kirkland peanut butter is a miss. It tastes great but is mostly oil. Something like Teddys has a higher proportion of peanut solids

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 36 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

I'm starting to think maybe we don't deserve Ken Jennings.

Nobody should take that as an invitation to ruin him for me.

[–] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 15 points 4 days ago

My company hired him as a keynote speaker for a company all hands event. He talked for about half an hour and then hosted a fake Jeopardy round with some of the staff asking company and city trivia.

He was charming, gracious, interesting, and funny throughout.

I hate everything about that company and their leadership, but Ken… Ken was a good decision. An awesome dude.

[–] ashenone@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Apparently the only qualifications for hosting Jeopardy is being a solid dude

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world -2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

And a scab. That's why they fired Mayim Bialik. She didn't fulfil that requirement.

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

A scab in what way? Ken's not in the SAG...

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 days ago

I don't think you need to be in a union/guild to be a scab. You just have to cross the picket line

[–] transientpunk@sh.itjust.works 37 points 5 days ago (5 children)

Tbf, Costco doesn't make any of that either. They just white label things

Well I mean, it does say "Kirkland signature" not "made in Kirkland."

They're just putting their signature on it.

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 14 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yup, they buy up portions of production runs and relabel it. This is why some products are not available sometimes - because they couldn't negotiate the contract to be able to sell it at the Costco price.

[–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 16 points 5 days ago

Wait ‘til they find out the cereal in bags is the same thing as the cereal in boxes.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago (2 children)

And you get brand name shit in bulk for cheap. There's no downside. I'll gladly buy Kirkland anything except dishwasher pods. Those suck donkey balls.

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

All dishwasher pods suck donkey balls though

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

True and I have switched to liquid detergent since, but the Kirkland ones especially leave a gross residue on everything.

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

We usually get the Cascade pods but tried Kirkland this year and haven’t noticed a difference.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

They put a cloudy residue on Tupperware and pans for me.

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 days ago

iirc, they have their own meat processing facilities. part of that production is used to make the hot dogs (since ~ 2011) for their long-running $1.50 combo with a soft drink.

American components, Russian components, ALL MADE IN TAIWAN!

Imagine being addicted to brand names and billboarding yourself out like some sort of corporate hoe.

Like, goddamn... At least get paid!

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I've never seen a worse example of this than people who put the Monster logo on their cars. How is it even possible to feel that level of pride in your energy drink of choice?

[–] dev_null@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 days ago

I assume it's because Monster sponsors a lot of racing. So they aren't putting the sticker up because they are proud of the Monster brand, but because it makes their car look more like racing cars do.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

Kirkland is the cheaper store brand so advertising that on your body is kind of funny. I guess since it's membership only its the higher-end cheaper option.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Reread the whole thing once I realized it was Ken Jennings at the end.

[–] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Honestly could almost be KenM

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 10 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

They're one Ken the same

[–] sudoer777@lemmy.ml 8 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

At the Winco bulk section you can get fresh ground peanut butter and it costs a lot less, but I don't think they have T Shirts and there aren't very many locations

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 days ago

Eventually it'll be the "Gulf of Kirkland" if they keep going like this.

[–] HowAbt2day 4 points 5 days ago

Non of the major athletics wear suppliers can snatch a sponsor like William Montgomery.

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 days ago

This post sponsored by Target. Shop clothing, with a smile!

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Burned by Ken!
