Friday OT #2 - Bring It To the Masses

[Angie]

What things do you love that are not super well-known, and you feel like the world is missing out and needs to know? It could be music, a movie/show, a food, a game, a hobby. Whatever you've got.

As an example - I think the world is largely unaware of how magical goat cheese is. Somehow crappy avocados are getting all of the attention.

The assorted and varied animal skins is what should really sell this.

I'll go on the food side today: Newman's Own Products. I don't think I have anything bad and it goes to a really good cause. Tons of money raised.

Yep, love his/their pasta sauces. Newman's marinara is my go to for pizza's.

My first one is modern southern rock n' roll music. If you liked Lynard Skynard, The Allman Brothers, etc, there are are absolutely outstanding bands making fantastic music in that genre today that don't much press because they're neither rock nor country, but a mix of both.

And to add to what @Angie said...queso fresco is an under-appreciate product. As is thai chili sauce.

Maybe too deep here since an obvious choice is Kirkland chocolate covered almonds, but nature. It's well known, but I'm not sure if it's really appreciated.

I saw a walking stick insect the other day on a walk, I think the first time I've ever seen one, and it was a good reminder of just how much life is happening in a small forested area that we have to be lucky to even see.

Podcasts. They’ve become pretty popular among the 40 and under demo but old people are totally missing out on one the best things to happen to entertainment in the 21st century.

Why is guava fruit juice not in every refrigerator in America? It's enchanting.

I would heartily echo what @madguy30 posted above. If you take a little time to stop and really observe nature, how it works, what's involved, etc, it can be truly fascinating. How does an 80 foot cottonwood tree come from a seed no bigger than a pinhead? What force is it that heals your skin (and lots of other things, too) when you get cut? How can a beautiful flower come from an ugly plant, bloom gloriously, and then retreat back into itself, only to come back as gorgeous as ever again next year?

And I haven't even touched on humans. Billions of them have walked this earth, and no two were ever. Exactly. The same. What are the odds of that?

You're going to post this without listing any bands or posting any youtube vids?

This made me realize Newmans is our go to brand for salsa, pasta sauce (sockarooni!), and frozen pizza. Definitely delicious!

Haha! I wanted to keep it simple, but if you're curious, here are my favorites:

About 7 years ago I saw my first praying mantis in Iowa. I was shocked. I was an outdoors kid, all day every day, in the woods and never saw one. Was walking on a trail by the river as an adult and came across one there on the sidewalk, wanting to box me. Never knew they were in Iowa. Always fascinates me how nature can always surprise you no matter how much you're in it.

I love their peach salsa!

Sticking with the theme of products...

They had this stuff at HyVee when we lived in Omaha, not sure if they sell it in Iowa, but it is awesome. Put that on a cracker with some whipped cream cheese...lord, I could eat a pallet of that stuff.

Goat cheese is ******* disgusting and I think I must now terminate our friendship.
