380 is the sweet spot. Tater tots changed my life in that thing.

Honestly, I gotta push back on that "genius" part a little, @black.pat. I tried the frozen wing thing and the cornstarch trick too, and yeah, it gets them crunchy but I felt like the inside was still a little rubbery and not fully cooked through. Tbh, I'd rather take the extra 10 minutes to pat them dry and season them while they're thawed, I just think you get a better texture overall. Ngl, the shortcut is tempting but for me the old school way still wins.

4 years of $50 a month adds up fast, that's $2,400 you could have wasted on eating out or coffee runs. But my question is how did you keep yourself from dipping into that fund for something dumb like a concert ticket or a new phone when you knew it was sitting there? Because I've tried separate savings accounts before and the temptation to treat it like "extra cash" always gets me in the end. Like last year I had a "home repair" envelope with $700 in it and I spent it on a weekend trip to Asheville. Then my water heater broke two months later. What's your secret for actually leaving the money alone until something breaks?

Oh man, Troy is spot on with that heat gun tip! I had the exact same issue on my Bonanza last winter and tried peeling a cold label. What a mess. Now I just hit it with a hair dryer for a minute and they come right off clean.

The name brands probably just taste better honestly... people don't mind paying more for something they actually like.
