@ideaman2020:
For those not in the "know", Scallion is nothing like onion, and in fact both smells AND tastes awesome.

]]> <![CDATA[Become Superhuman, Japanese-Style]]> Oh, pff, everyone knows about the In-N-Out secret codes now that there's websites. Might even be on the company site. Works chain-wide in all of Calif. plus Vegas and maybe some other places westerly.

]]> <![CDATA[Become Superhuman, Japanese-Style]]> @MaxTwice: Is LA the source of "animal-style"? I mean, I grew up near LA but maybe I was too provincial out there in Irvine to know about this?

]]> <![CDATA[Become Superhuman, Japanese-Style]]> @EBone: Animal-style? OK that made no sense even to me. And I'm the master of not making sense.

Annalee Newitz

]]> <![CDATA[Become Superhuman, Japanese-Style]]> How 'bout this: if you order your burger at In-and-Out "animal style," you get grilled onions and extra pickles. If you order your fries like that, they come covered in cheese and grilled onions. And if you order a "4x4" you get four meat patties and four slices of cheese on your burger. It's nowhere to be found on any menu at the restaurant. You just have to "know" the secret.

An I contend that once you have had your burger and fries this way, you will feel as if you had superpowers.

Except that I always carry a box of jelly donuts when I cross the border, just in case.

]]> <![CDATA[Become Superhuman, Japanese-Style]]> @phoenix: I'm reminded of a scene in "Strange Brew" (sci-fi? Hmmm... armoured, brainwashed hockey players controlled by organ music... a ghost in a computer system... a super-powered flying dog? Sure!) with one of the McKenzie brothers stuffing bullets in his nose to hold off a nose bleed... which results in a rather dangerous sneeze.

]]> <![CDATA[Become Superhuman, Japanese-Style]]> Umm... Call me unadventurous, but given a choice between using a few tissues and sticking onion pieces up my nose, I think I'll stick with the former.
