  - But what if we dig straight through the center of the earth? -- nm - Open Baron May 25, 08:05 1
    - You'd have to coat the coconuts in unobtanium. Might explain the price difference. -- nm - Beryllium May 25, 08:12
  - In this case DR instead of Mejico, but your point stands. It looks like there is a little more sugar in the Goya milk, but my curry paste is spicy so -- (edited) - Diva May 25, 07:56
- Goya is like del Monte for Latin Americans. You are good. -- nm - con_carne May 25, 07:39 1

    - yeah I was at the store when they were on sale like that a few months ago and got what I wanted...I would think EB Games here would reopen soon -- nm - Beaker May 25, 07:31 3
      - You'd think. I can imagine they are going to want to move physical copies of TLoU2. -- nm - Shaun May 25, 07:32 2
        
        EB Games is open. They just called with 2 Funkos they have for me :) -- nm* - Beaker May 25, 08:55 1

  - I have about 20 or so, not that many. I never thought to keep track of them as I was just collection Bob's Burgers - Krusty May 25, 07:30
  - this is the site I use...I think a lot of us do -- (link) - Beaker May 25, 07:27 1
    - aka PPG :) -- nm - Shaun May 25, 07:28
- Seeing other people struggle with big collections keeps me sane on Funkos -- nm - budice May 25, 07:16
"Some Good News" w/John Kransinski is nothing but bad news now with it being sold to CBS All Access and Krasinski no longer hosting. -- (link) - Krusty May 25, 06:31 3
- so they paid millions of dollars for a 3 word title? without him why bother watching? -- nm - Beaker May 25, 06:34 2
  - Without him and without a quarantine I don't see much of an audience. Also, what was stopping CBS from doing a news show that focused on good news - Krusty May 25, 06:37 1
    - CBS Sunday Morning is definitely a "good news" news show. -- nm - con_carne May 25, 07:27
