    I never realized it was that small of a distance. If you play enough trivia you have gotten this question wrong at some point.

      I was like 27 when I realized that potato peelers (at least the OXO one) have a little shovel on the end to dig out weird looking spots.

        Tater tots are trash. A creation of an American frozen food company. A lie and a swindle.

          that's why you only give them to tots; they dont know any better.

          and really, arent hashbrowns & tater tots essentially the same thing?

            I actually got on a Sonic loaded tots kick a few years ago despite never being a Sonic or tots person. It only lasted a few months but what I also realized that was kind of surprising was how bad Sonic's chicken is compared to other fast food places. Easily the worst and not exactly against a high standard.

              I tried their BBQ Chips Tots a few weeks ago. They are tots with a sauce poured over them, which is the flavor of BBQ potato chips. Despite not being a fan of BBQ potato chips at all, I thought the flavor worked pretty well with tots.

              Generally speaking, however, Sonic food is trash, and yes, the chicken sandwich is sad.

                This. I have held so many nostalgic feelings for some foods over the years but Sonic always lets me down in the worst way and they don't even hold my hand or smile while they're doing it.

                    At least hashbrowns are breakfast specific. Tator tots want to invade other meals. Not happening.

                      I don't go out of my way to eat tater tot's,
                      but if they're good enough for Napoleon Dynamite, they're good enough for me.
                      besides, somebody out there likes them if we're eating 70 million pounds a year lol

                        I didn't know what tater tots were back when I first saw that movie. I imagine I had them before I was aware of their name, but when he was eating them I thought they were some form of puffs (like Pirates Booty).

                        This was at a time when I had a lot of food allergies, though. I'm not saying I was allergic to tater tots, but I was allergic to eggs, and to this day that is the only meal item I have had tots with.

                          My sister loved the tater tots they served at our high school cafeteria. She was always telling our mom and I about how she would take everyone elses. She wasn't too happy when she saw I willed her a big bag of tater tots in the senior class wills though.

                            The older I get the less enjoyment I get out of video games, especially sports games. When I was a kid and through my 20's, I used to look forward to each Madden, NCAA, or whatever sports game was out at the time.

                            But the older I get, the less enjoyment I get from the games. Maybe its because we hear about these games too much and they are everywhere now and there is always something coming out, so they just arent as exciting as they used to be.

                              I know the new CFB is going to be made by the same company as Madden, but while its been a decade since I last "needed" Madden on release day, I am definitely highly anticipating EA's CFB next summer.
                              I lost interest for the most part in non-sports titles when my son graduated from school and moved out of the house back in '15, but since that time, I've still been giddy as school girl whenever the Show was released for the last dozen years.

                                The older I've gotten, the less I care about actually playing the games and the more I've grown to love the "sim only" life.
