Grillo’s pickle chips there? Love those. Have you tried Bubbies? Salt-brined, naturally fermented- they’re our family favorite

“they like me, they really like me” is itself a (mis)quote of Sally Fields’ Oscar acceptance speech, right? And the news here is about Kendrick winning awards. I think the author of this knows both meanings well and assumes their audience does too
