Nuts!

I've been seeing a lot of Uber Eats ads on TV and the whole premise is get your food via Uber Eats on game day!  So, ok... why are you ordering food on game day and just before the game?  If you are planning on watching the game by yourself or have friends over, wouldn't you pre-plan that and have all kinds of chips, snacks, and hot foods before guest arrive and the game itself?  Sure I understand if it's last minute but how last minute does it have to be to need Uber Eats?  I usually plan ahead and have things ready to pick-up way in advance or order it an hour ahead and just go pick it up.  Or, get foods that can be reheated or put into a warmer... the upcharges are insane for these services when if you just take a moment to plan, will save you a lot!

Weekly Update:
I like to get the Kirkland organic pine nut hummus.  It's a big tub that will last a long time and the taste, texture and pine nuts are perfect.  What is a bit odd is the oil and pine nuts are all mixed on the top center.  Now, are we supposed to mix this before eating?  Every time I eat hummus, I just dip right in and start eating but are these supposed to be mixed first?  All the different hummus' I've opened and had have all been dig in and start!  And usually with the Kirkland brand I enjoy the oils and nuts at the start but then they are gone less than half-way through.  I guess I'll try and mix it and see but, wish it came pre-mixed because I just want to eat it!

At the movies:
New at #1 this week is Snow White with a solid 43 million to open.  However, this is lower than expectations and it may struggle to hit 100 mil.  Not all movies were designed to be remade to real life.  Moving up to #2 is Black Bag with 4.4 mil but still had a sizeable drop from week two.  Also rising up another slot to #3 is Captain America: Brave New World with 4.1 mil as it closes the gap to 200 mil mark.  Drop down to #4 is Mickey 17 with 3.9 mil and slowly wrapping itself up.  Rounding off the top 5 coming from #1 last week is Novocaine with 3.8 mil as this one is one-and-done.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
One this week at #6 is The Alto Knights with 3.2 mill and this one is out before it even got in.
