  • I do feel for you, I know life in the US has gotten much worse recently and I feel that’s accelerating.

    I’m not so sure life in China is better per se, but it is different.

    I will probably blanket statement this and say life in the EU seems a lot better than in the US now, though with plenty of problems depending on where you go. I say this as someone who left the US for the EU.

    I lived and worked outside Shanghai for a bit, but it was a while ago and probably has changed a good bit. What makes you think their lives are far better off than those in the states?

    Not necessarily disagreeing, but it absolutely was not the case 15 years ago. American life is on a downhill though, zero argument there.

    They’re self rising Pillsbury biscuits (or similar). Not what Americans call cookies that Brits call biscuits

    And yeah, they come in a tube. The plastic/papery wrap is structural to keeping the pressure on them. It’s pretty neat packaging design. This is the first I’ve heard of the little pop being considered scary though
