Last New Years Eve I was cooking with my SO and among other things, we were planning on having rice. I realized at that point that I had bought brown rice by mistake, instead of white rice (small package, both look the same around here). 10 minutes later we had white rice from one these dark stores.
That one time it was really useful.
- bombcar 5y agoI’ve had a similar experience - was out of something for Christmas dinner iirc, and five minutes later I had it after running over to the 24-hr gas station which has a surprisingly large convenience store.
- pxtail 5y agoDamn, that's the dedication - triggering whole complex operation where multiple people and systems are engaged and consume energy just to get slightly different kind of rice.
- nomdep 5y agoA completely different kind of rice. I love regular white rice, but find disgusting the texture and flavor of brown rice.
