Immediately thought of “Gourmet Donut” stores I’ve seen popping up all over too.

The BMW 320i
Yes you bought a car that has the BMW on it, but is far worse than pretty much anything coming out of any other car manufacturer.

So many examples of “premium mediocre” in the automotive world. The BMW 320i, Mercedes CLA/GLA, Lexus IS250, and the Acura ILX. The list goes on and on.

The wee bit nicer ones are premium mediocre. The ones you’re describing are just mediocre.

I realize that this probably reveals me to be an awful person, but I really like premium mediocre 1893 Pepsi. I don’t even like normal Pepsi at all, but 1893 is pretty decent, especially the grapefruit soda which is essentially the first grapefruit flavored thing that didn’t taste 110% of grapefruit, but actually like something with multiple flavors in it.

One of us dropped this, is it yours?

These are the ones I saw: Upmarket Yoplait.

I have to say that chinese take-out, cheesecake, and cola for dinner sounds absolutely perfect. What time should I come around?
