Yeah, I think Tagalongs were called Hoedowns in part of the country for a while, as an example. I think they’re now called Tagalongs everywhere.
Odd. I just asked my wife who was a Service Unit cookie manager for many years (in charge of managing cookies for 10-12 troops). I thought Tagalongs were called something else, and she agreed, but she said they were “Peanut Butter Patties”. Yes, I remember that now. She had never heard of Hoedowns. At that time, we only used Little Brownie Bakery. Subsequently our council merged with others, and I believe we use the other bakery (Famous Foods of Virginia maybe?) She’s no longer involved with cookies.
Trivia note: back in the 1980’s all the cookies for the service unit got delivered to the Service Unit Cookie Manager’s house. We would have well over 1000 cases of cookies in our dining room. Great forts for our one daughter at the time. (Or so I recall That would imply she was doing it before that daughter was old enough to sell cookies. Could be. Or maybe I’m thinking about the 1990’s, and it was the younger daughter doing the playing. Could be. Wife was a cookie manager for well over 20 years, most of which had deliveries to our house, though that system eventually changed.)
Most of the cookies stayed at our house for less than a week, but there were some thoughout the sale.

Really? I think they’re far better. I only drink water with lemon but putting a slice of lemon in my water makes it taste like the lemon rind or worse, wax. I keep true lemon on hand always and use it for water and cooking, I never buy lemons or lemon juice anymore.

imo, yes. I don’t have a sophisticated palette, but when I taste the two I have a noticeable preference for the “real” thing…
…however, we never have the bottled juice in our refrigerator anymore. It’s not rare to see a real lemon or lime on the kitchen counter, though…but not common, either. Hence, the reallemon or reallime packets are perfectly cromulent substitutes.
I see what you did there, always working to embiggen your vocabulary - I admire that trait.

Smart people have the best of both worlds. We turn off the red dots and also don’t cleanup our emails.
I clean up my text messages even. I only have three message threads on my phone at the moment:
my wife
my son
my dad
all the others get deleted after their usefulness has expired. which is usually right away.
Our company recently implemented an email retention policy.
Inbox is 90 days then automatically deleted.
Folders are 2 years retention.
Turns out Teams chats also fall under the 90 retention rule.
Go do some laundry.
Oh shit! Thanks for reminding me…
Is this supposed to be a gif? ‘Cuz for me it’s a still image.

Oh! I see.
but I still don’t get it; I’ve seen lots of skid marks on lots of roads, not sure what’s being “highlighted” here for comedic effect
