Searching for the best good coffee and nice toilet combo. I had a coffee shop in Omaha called Aromas that was that, plus they has comfy chairs. A great place to kill time.

I've tried lard cooked potato chips and found them to be a bit rich. Old school trans fat Sterzing's had a similar mouthfeel but had a better taste.
π¦πππππ‘πππ©π©π (@slakingfool.bsky.social) reply parent
People griped when the trans fat ban took effect and Sterzing's fiddled around with various vegetable and seed oils to mixed reviews. Looks like they've been messing around with an oil/tallow mix before going all tallow earlier this year.

Trying to decide if Sterzing's potato chips switching over to 100% tallow is a MAGA / RFK Jr. thing, or just trying to recreate the old trans fat mouthfeel and taste.
