Cactus Jack at McD

,

Growing up, Travis Scott’s favorite meal at McDonalds was this:

  • Quarter Pounder with bacon and lettuce added
  • Sprite
  • Side of fries
  • BBQ dipping sauce

Starting this Tuesday, September 8, you too can experience Travis’ faves at McD. For one month, this $6 collab is gonna clog the drive thru lines and your arteries.

 

Kentucky Fried Crocs

In these COVID times or not, this collaboration between KFC and Crocs is crazy and mindblowing. Check out Seth’s early review.

This awesomeness dropped today at Crocs.

Update: This was hard. These clogs flew, and when I got past the queue to the web site, I saw this and even then, clicking on “available” sizes showed out of stock.

Nine Bankrupt Businesses

, ,

If you’ve walked around a shopping mall during this COVID time, you’ve seen the desolation firsthand. Very little customers and permanently closed stores are common sights. So much so that here are nine business that have gone bankrupt:

  1. NPC International (Pizza Hut, Wendy’s)
  2. Lucky Brand
  3. Brooks Brothers
  4. Sur La Table
  5. Muji
  6. RTW Retailwinds
  7. Heritage Brands (Van Heusen, Izod Golf, Olga, Warner’s)
  8. Tailored Brands (Men’s Wearhouse)
  9. Ascena Retail Group (Ann Taylor, LOFT, Lane Bryant)

 

Insulted by Blue Oats

, , , , , , ,

Hmmm, should I be insulted since I did NOT win the Adidas raffle for the new Yeezy 380 “Blue Oats?”

I learned that the reflective version was very limited, but I didn’t consider that this non-reflective version would be difficult to get. And even though Adidas held a raffle, I thought winning one would be probable.

Should I be insulted not getting a pair?

Disappointed in Polar Cop

, , , ,

This topic is going to be subjective with differing points of view, but I just wanted to voice my disappointment with Polar Cop. Described as software “redefining iOS checkout automation,” this software went on sale publicly this morning. But due to its popularity, the launch was beset with technical problems and was delayed.

After another delay, this tweet was published about an hour after the original start time.

At this point, I more or less forgot about this release. But since I had the site’s window open, I noticed that the page had changed to purchase screen. So I entered my information to make a buy and upon submission, I got an error screen, so again, I forgot abou this forgettable release. A few minutes later, I saw that the error screen changed to one of success, and I also got a confirmation email.

That joy was short lived however when Polar Cop commented first on the botched release then made the disappointing announcement.

All sucessful orders were cancelled. 

Instead of honoring the existing sales, the company decided to alienate the only fans up to that point – those who had made valid purchases. Why would a software company want to estrange those who wanted their product and bought their product? Can’t they just release more copies of the software at a later date (and with more preparation)?

I understand that in these high-demand situations, everyone can’t be happy and satisfied with the outcome. The masses who were waiting for the software and didn’t get a copy were, of course, angered. And now the (potential) advocates who bought the software were also angered with the cancellations. Disappointing all around. As a company, how is trust built when business transactions aren’t honored? Why not turn this into a win-win situation, allowing the purchases to stand then simply releasing more copies for sale at a later date?
