  • They were ripping off both their users and anyone using affiliate links (including the content creators who promoted them)

    During checkout, when you clicked the “find coupon” button in honey (which it prompted you to do on screen during checkout), it would strip out any affiliate link and add their own. So if you clicked on a product from a review, they would strip out the referral link from the YouTube video or website that sent you and indicate they sent you instead and get the commission.

    In addition, they were working with online retailers and basically extorting them. They said that if retailers paid them a fee, they got to pick the discount code that was used during checkout. So if there was a 20% coupon and a 5% coupon, stores could pay them to ignore the 20%.

    This, in turn, was basically faking out their users, thinking they were giving them the “best deal” like they claimed to.



  • You’ve obviously gotten the base level answer, but to add some color here - certain types of food, such as dried pasta, rice, beans, grains, high proof alcohol, vinegars, and basically anything frozen to name a few, never spoil in the sense that they’re unsafe to eat.

    Flavor, however, is an entirely different matter. Just ask anyone who has eaten freezer burnt food.

    Pretty much any high proof alcohol will fall into this category. And, if it’s unopened, it should retain most of its flavor for a very long time. Once opened, however, it can deteriorate relatively quickly, depending on how it was stored.





  • For me, legacy of the wizard was a game my parents rented once when I was young, and I had one night to play it. I stayed up late playing it all night and my parents returned it the next day.

    I didn’t know the title of the game so I spent nearly 30 years trying to figure out what it was, but it was obscure enough and my memories hazy enough that people thought I was making it up or something.

    I finally figured out what it was about a year or so ago when I just sat down with a complete list of nes games and went through them one-by-one until I found it.

    After I found it, I played it all day, and with the help of a walkthrough and save states beat it. Probably one of the most satisfying game finishes of my life even if I had to use modern cheats to get there.



  • You cant go by “serving sizes” to compare things like that, because serving sizes are fairly arbitrary and can are likely measured differently between products. You’d have to compare by net weight.

    This lists the net weight as 27.1 pounds, or about 433 ozs. A box of kraft is 7.5 oz net weight, or in other words it’s almost 58 total boxes of craft Mac and cheese. Which makes things way more in Kraft’s favor.
