We have had an explosion of Chex flavours here recently for some reason. The honey nut ones are pretty damn good - Reagen Dec 2, 06:56 9
- I approve this message -- (link) - Omar Dec 2, 07:16 [Image]
- the reason is: shelf space for megafood corporations....nm - x Dec 2, 06:58 7
  - the main reason it's odd is that we basically had zero Chex presence here prior to this - Reagen Dec 2, 06:59 6
    - The only Chex I snack on is the Chex mixes. -- nm - budice Dec 2, 07:16 5
      - I make it - home made - none of that pre bagged crap -- nm - Epiphany Dec 2, 07:20 4
        
        do you just combine different chexes or do you add spice or other flavorings? -- nm - Diva Dec 2, 07:22 3

        I have added jalapeno salt in the past or a smidge of tabasco into the butter sauce. Lawry's use to make jalapeno seasoning salt that was amazing. -- nm - Epiphany Dec 2, 07:25 1

    - [deleted] 33
      - Asia makes no sense because your actual paying fan base will be further alienated as you take away home games and even the ability to watch at home - Krusty Dec 2, 06:29 32
        
        Do you watch every game your team plays? You watch 162 games every year? -- nm - Bacon Dec 2, 07:09

        [deleted] 8
        
        See below. So what? Are they moving the league there or have the found some new way to fly so it won't take half a day to get there? - Krusty Dec 2, 06:44 7
        
        [deleted] 6
        
        It shouldn't be regular season games and they should start in Mexico and SA first. Asia is just too far away. -- nm - Krusty Dec 2, 06:51 5
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        I've given multiple reasons and the big one being travel. I say make them exhibition so the traveling won't affect the regular season. -- (edited) - Krusty Dec 2, 07:05 3
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        And I disagreed that it would be enough. I know they need to expand but Asia isn't the right place. -- nm - Krusty Dec 2, 07:14
        
        I concur -- nm - Beaker Dec 2, 07:09
        
        it's not about an existing fan base, it's about growing the fan base.... - x Dec 2, 06:33 18
        
        I'm fine with them going south to Mexico and South America but Asia is too far away. - Krusty Dec 2, 06:36 17
        
        4 billion people live in asia, that's what they care about....nm - x Dec 2, 06:39 16
        
        So what? You can't play games all over the world unless they've invented a new way to travel. - Krusty Dec 2, 06:42 13
        
        They invented this thing called an airplane -- nm - Bacon Dec 2, 07:03
        
        the median age of an american baseball fan is 53, which is far older than football or basketball. they can stay here... - x Dec 2, 06:45 7
        
        Japan is even older. -- nm - Krusty Dec 2, 06:46 6
        
        And having games all over the world will really help the young American fans fall in love with the game? -- nm - Krusty Dec 2, 06:56 5
        
        it might help 4 billion people in asia learn the game. and buy shirts. or hats.....nm - x Dec 2, 07:03
        
        It's not about the American fans.. - Marlowe Dec 2, 07:00
        
        Has baseball tried not being boring? That might get people interested. - TWuG Dec 2, 07:00 2
        
        Some people don't need to have men smashing their brains out to enjoy a sport. I *love* baseball. -- nm - Krusty Dec 2, 07:10
        
        *ding* -- nm - Beaker Dec 2, 07:05
        
        they aren't going to fly them over for one game, then back for home game a day later. -- nm - Andie Dec 2, 06:43 3
        
        So they go for weeks? That doesn't work for the fans of the teams at home losing games. If you're a season ticket holder, the most precious of the - Krusty Dec 2, 06:46 2
        
        say a week. 3 games. like they would for an away seris. -- nm - Andie Dec 2, 06:49 1
        
        Plus you'd need to give them days off before and many after to deal with the jet lag. It's just too far away. Do some exhibition games but not ones - Krusty Dec 2, 06:51

        the googles says 4.4....nm - x Dec 2, 06:44
        
        Plus, the traveling during the season is going to be an issue. They hate coastal trips already and this is even worse. -- nm* - Krusty Dec 2, 06:31

    - When I catch a random race it's fun to watch. At least they make turns in both directions. I wish there was more passing opportunities and the races -- (edited) - Krusty Dec 2, 06:21 1
