SPINACH in dessert?!? I've seen it all

it doesn’t surprise me at all that meow, king of bad taste, has brownies, the Tanner Glass of sweets, at the top of his list

Awful take, weenie. Awful take.

Tiramisu at number one is asinine.

Who the **** puts choco taco among any of that?

An intellectual

You spelled donkey wrong.

Your list looks like something my daughter might have told me when she was like five.

Post by **King Colby** » Wed Mar 20, 2024 9:20 pm

Awful list. Brownies are top 10 if not top 5. Good key lime pie absolutely slaps

Post by **King Colby** » Wed Mar 20, 2024 9:22 pm

Dude choco tacos literally taste like the foam packaging from a TV box, but with chocolate sauce drizzled on it

I'd actually put "donkey" at #3 on his list over "Choco Taco"...

Another great call, Dick Standish...

Choco tacos are nostalgia and that’s about it… if that wasn’t there, they’d be straight trash.

This, so awful. A good key lime pie is hard to beat and brownies can also be made in so many different variations that are all good.

The value of Amazon Prime is going down for me. I think I mentioned it a while back that you can only skip a few songs when playing Amazon music - which is almost laughable given that I continually skip the same **** songs, and Amazon hasn’t learned to just stop playing them - but now when I tell one of my echo devices to play a certain artist, she will only play “Billy Joel and similar artists”. Not at all what I asked, and ‘similar artists’ is incredibly open for interpretation based on the **** they throw in there.

I noticed the same. Makes the service pretty much unusable for music streaming. Add in commercials for Prime programming, and it's a steep downgrade. I should crunch the numbers and see how often I really use Prime shipping for purchases under $35 or whatever the cut off is. I bet I'm "losing" money if I factor in all of the times I order something and then don't bother to open it for 5+ days anyway.

Post by **NTP66** » Sat Mar 23, 2024 11:39 am

I do still order plenty of small items that I need quickly, so I don’t see myself dropping Prime. I bet it’s harder for others to justify the package now, though. Prime video is way worse than it should be. There’s virtually no good content.

Post by **King Colby** » Sat Mar 23, 2024 12:22 pm

Agreed. I'm too lazy to do the math to save like $15 or whatever so I'll just keep paying but it's nowhere near as valuable of a service as it used to be for me

I got rid of Prime over a year ago when they changed up their Music App (Yes, NTP, it is ridiculous), and I haven't missed it.

Shipping still tends to be pretty fast when I do order, and I don't miss prime video.

I'd settle for two-day shipping still being two-day shipping. The last few times I ordered something it's been delayed a day or two.

Post by **NTP66** » Mon Mar 25, 2024 7:49 am

I did notice recently that they now give you options to select when something you're ordering offers overnight delivery - 4-8am, or 8-11am. That's a positive change, IMO. Both myself and my neighbor had them deliver stuff before 7am and ring the doorbell waking everyone up.

I don’t think I’ve had an Amazon driver ring the bell before. Seems like an odd and unnecessary step in today’s world.

Yep, and especially not at 4am (my neighbor's experience) or 6:30am (mine).

That said, there are some really good Amazon drivers out there. I have had guys leave packages on my steps in the rain, when I have a covered porch. In similar situations, I've had Amazon leave the package up against the side door window panel so that it's completely out of the rain, which I always appreciate, and thank my driver on Echo.

We tend to get stuff late in the day sometimes...like I got a 4k movie delivered at like 8pm last night. I wish I could tell them that is not necessary and if it's that late just bring it the next day. Always feel bad when that happens especially on a weekend.

Stuff still always comes within the 1 or 2 day window though it seems. We only have prime because of the free 1/2 day shipping and with how much stuff we order it still pays for itself. The Prime app/movie stuff is useless to me outside of TNF really.

Post by **Morkle** » Mon Mar 25, 2024 9:07 am

Yea, It's been hit or miss for some things, but then others we get next day. We'll keep prime because I never used music, and I barely watch their TV service - but I can say it feels like the quality of items haven't really dipped in price, and it's mostly junk anymore.
