Which half??
On Saturday I went to the OC Fair! I have not been since pre-Covid and even longer before that. I just lost interest in going but I had some friends from out-of-town in and thought it might be fun to go again. It was fun but everything was still expensive. I guess you kind of expect that when going to something like this. They have the regular stuff you see at the fair; rides, games, animals and of course the food. I would never trust going on a ride at the fair. Those rickety things and you can hear the screeching and metal sounds when they are going or being idle! Nope, no thank you! Games are ok, designed for you to lose more money than what you can get in prizes and I honestly do not need anymore things. Animals are fun to see but I didn't see a lot of them. The ones I did see, they kept repeating in each barn. Goats in one and goats in another and the more goats... ok, I saw the goats already so why am I seeing them again? Now the foods... prices were crazy but they are still good. Always have to get the funnel cake and I felt like they were almost double the thickness since I last went. This felt like the best value to me, worst value with the brisket sandwich. It was just over $20 for a regular sized sandwich. It was good but come on, make it a combo for that price. Overall had a fun time but just have to be prepared to spend a lot of money. Definitely something you only do once a year or maybe every other year unless they lower some pricing. Maybe $10 a ticket instead of $15 if you order in advance and $15 at the window. Parking maybe start at $10 (instead of $15) and go up from there. Just make some element a bit less so the other stuff feels better.
Do you typically get a bagel, cut it in half and toast it or at least cut in half, maybe put a spread or just butter on it and enjoy? And then did you think oh, I got an everything bagel or an asiago bagel to then realize wait... I got one everything (or asiago) and one plain bagel? When you cut it in half, all the seasoning or toppings is just on one side. Why is that, why don't they put the seasoning on both ends? Not a huge deal but I get a bagel for the seasoning (unless of course it's plain then it doesn't matter) but if I eat the half with the everything seasoning on it, then the next bagel half is plain. Same with a jalapeno bagel or the asiago one... I now feel like I am paying full price for half a bagel (at least the kind I wanted) so in theory I am getting one plain and one whatever the topping is. Now there is another interesting thing, toppings... with bagels they don't say toppings, just say what it is. I guess if they say a topped everything bagel that would be different but, they don't. I think bagels should be 75% less expensive now if you get one with a topping, just saying.
Keeping it's spot at #1 for a 2nd weekend is Superman with another 57.3 million and now over 200 mil. On a steady track to hit 300 mil in no time. Also holding on to #2 is Jurassic World Rebirth with 23.4 mil extra and closing in on 300 mil, should be there probably by end of next weekend. New at #3 is I Know What You Did Last Summer with 13 mil and not a great number, will probably fade out quickly. Also new at #4 is Smurfs with only 11 mil and this franchise seems to be tapped out. Holding at #5 is F1 The Movie with another 9.6 mil and quickly coming to the finish line under 200 mil.
New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week at #7 is Eddington earning only 4.3 mil and on a wide release pattern.
