Quaker Oats, parent company of Aunt Jemima, was one of them.

Creamy, zesty, and pleasantly herbaceous, ranch dressing unites hungry Little Leaguers and reluctant veggie eaters all across this divided nation.

I'm a sucker for secret menu items. During the few times I've visited In-N-Out, ordering Animal-Style fries (a huge upgrade on the chain's otherwise crappy fries) made me feel like I was part of a clandestine club. Maybe not as secretive as the Illuminati, but close. I realize that the In-N-Out secret menu is far from secret, but there's still a thrill to it. And if In-N-Out has a widely known secret menu, are there many more out there to be discovered? Turns out, yes—and they're all in one...| The Takeout

The summer after my freshman year of college, I became a saleswoman for Cutco cutlery. One day I was 19, broke and aimless, living at home and trying to earn beer money without working too hard. The next I was in a stale office, slowly grasping that the marketing position I'd seen advertised on a telephone pole actually involved selling parers, peelers, and steak knives out of my car. I probably should've seen it coming. A telephone pole isn't a job board. I took the gig anyway.| The Takeout

To paraphrase a wise man, rice is great if you're hungry and want to eat 2,000 of something. But cauliflower rice is not actually rice.

It's a bad thing if you're expecting it to act or taste like rice, because it can't. It's cauliflower,...| The Takeout
