BRAND CONTEST CLUE
This hamburger chain has restaurants in 120 countries and territories and serves 68 million customers daily.
DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE
In August 19, Cracker Barrel announced a redesign of their restaurants and brand and created a firestorm of negative blowback from their customers. After a major drop in their stock price, their CEO announced the suspension of their redesign plans.
A major part of their redesign was a more generic logo and a change in their interior design to bring their look more in line to many “modern” restaurants like Chilli’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, and similar corporatized fast food chains like McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and Starbucks.
Why are all of our restaurants looking the same or so similar in style that it’s nearly impossible to identify them without the logo?
Brothers Richard and Maurice founded this hamburger chain in San Bernardino, California, in 1940. Roy Croc joined the company in 1955 and launched its franchising, which would grow into the largest hamburger brand in the world.
This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the opening of the first Nintendo Store outside of Japan, at Rockefeller Plaza, in New York City. This store is a 2-story shop featuring Nintendo games, consoles, and lots of plush toys and merchandise. This June, the store was crowded with visitors hoping to try the newly released Switch2 console.
CVLife continues to put out dependable budget-priced optics with increasingly better features. This scope features Japanese ED glass, which offers improved sharpness and clarity while reducing chromatic aberration. This newest scope changes up their previous turret design with something that feels vaguely like a Vortex turret that got stretched taller. It even has a similar zero-stop ring and pin system to a Vortex Strike Eagle.
The scope comes with a decent set of rings and a throw lever. The rings have a thick anodized coating common with budget rings, designed to cover over the hard edges and lack of refined milling. The rings do feature a recoil lug and Torx screw for better holding power.
The scope performed well in tracking and optical clarity. Its main shortfalls were its heavy weight, tight eyebox, and small exit pupil at 6x in particular. Despite this, with a street price below $250, it’s a good example of a budget, entry-level long-range competition scope. It may not beat the quality of scopes from Athlon, Burris, or Vortex, but it beats those brands’ entry-level offerings for value and price.
Tactical Snacks is a veteran-owned company that were handing out sample packs of their low-carb gummies at SHOT Show earlier this year. I taste-tested their Watermelon Overwatch sour gummies. Tactical Snacks were created to provide low-sugar alternatives to regular gummy candies without high-fructose corn syrup.
They recently expanded their flavors and sent me a sample pack of their two newest: Breach Peacha and Green Apple Rattle.
At last year’s SHOT Show, Leapers showed off their new UTG Pro monolithic MP5 clamp on modernized handguards. They turned out to be a huge hit among MP5 fans. This year they’ve brought these modern Picatinny mounting options to a receiver scope clamp and a front sight clamp.
These clamp-on mounts allow users to attach modern optics, weaponlights, and accessories onto MP5s while retaining its traditional furniture.
Today’s Livestream was shut down by YouTube due to copyright claims on the video footage from KPop Demon Hunters. I’m claiming FAIR USE. In this video an Animation Industry professional (and Pixar alumnus) and a former Creative Director discuss the technical aspects and art direction of KPDH using looped footage from the film to illustrate our points and provide visual reference to or commentary comparing the state of the animation and the entertainment industry. I’ve filed a Dispute. It will be a couple of days before somebody at YouTube comes to a decision. I hope it’s a reasonable and educated one.

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE
KPop Demon Hunters is a musical action film where the KPop band HUNTR/X is secretly a supernatural martial-arts team who hunt down demons.
Released by Netflix on June 20.
Surpassed downloads/views of Disney/Pixar’s Elio.
Over 66 million views, to become Netflix’s most-watched title ever. [
I am testing various 22LR rimfire ammunition at 100 yards to determine which produces the tightest groups in my CZ 457 rifle. My rifle build is a factory-stock CZ 457 VPC, topped with an Area 419 Picatinny rail, and a Discovery Optics XED 6-36×56 scope (their top-tier long-range optic with Japanese eXtra Low Dispersion ED glass).
For this attempt, I am trying out Norma Tac-22. RWS manufactures this ammunition in Germany, which is also the company used to proof CZ 457 rifles at the factory. I have heard good reports on this ammo but my experience with my Ruger Precision Rimfire rifle yielded mixed results. For the test, I’m comparing it to CCI Standard Velocity, which many consider the best overall “bulk” rimfire ammo for bolt-action rifles and bullseye pistols.
After shooting 20 rounds of each, the results were essentially a tie. CCI produced slightly tighter groups but TAC-22’s 2nd group was tighter than any of CCI’s.
During our visit to Super Nintendo World Hollywood, we made reservations for Toadstool Cafe, the only food venue at Super Nintendo World. Because of the park’s attractions and long waits, we made reservations using the QR code at the cafe entrance as soon as we entered Super Nintendo World. To avoid the lunch crowds, we opted for a 10:45am reservation. We had heard that later reservations during peak hours resulted in long wait times and slow or poor service.
Entering the restaurant, choose a queue for a cashier. Make your orders in a fast-food style counter with photos menus of on the wall above. After placing your order, you are given a receipt with an order number and proceed to a staff member at the entrance of the dining room who will bring to you to an assigned table.
A server will bring our food out to your table. During the lunch or dinner rush, there may be delays but our orders came to use in less than 5 minutes. We chose a Toadstool Cheesy Garlic Knot, Piranha Plant Caprese, Super Star Chicken Salad, Yoshi’s Fettucine Alfredo, Mario Burger Kids Meal Set, and Fire Flower Spaghetti & Meatballs. In general, the food tasted good but looked even better than it tasted. Design was fanciful and fun but the flavors were just mid and underseasoned. I found the Mario Mini Burger to be a better deal as it also included a coin-up dessert (a cookie coated in gold colored white chocolate).
Despite the average tasting food, Toadstool Cafe is a worthy experience. While dining, we were entertained by LCD screens around the restaurant showing scenes from the mushroom kingdom, including an attack by Bowser’s airship dropping bombs onto the restaurant and village. The food was filling and pricing was reasonable for a major amusement park. We’ll come back.
