Whether it was a film you watched over and over with your siblings or simply the origin of all your friends' best trash-talk zingers, it was arguably the Napoleon Dynamite of the early '90s.

Fans of the McNugget were dealt a harsh blow when McDonald's started charging for additional sauces in an effort to reduce waste.

Like all communities that appreciate something beautiful, the foodie scene is not without its share of snobs who turn their nose up at those who still find comfort in fast food and processed snacks. Though it's easy to take cheap shots at food that hasn't been prepared by a five-star restaurant, there's something both rebellious and honest about proclaiming one's affection toward so-called "junk food" -- which is why it's time to declare our undying love for gas station hot dogs.

The brunch vibes along the Wasatch Front have had a pretty substantial glow-up over the past few years. We've had a few local restaurants really go hard with the whole brunch concept. It's true that they've yielded some interesting results, with their social media-savvy decor and build-your-own Bloody Marys, but they're a bit much for a quiet misanthrope like myself.

These guys and their fuckin’ acronyms

Utah didn’t become the best-run state by accident — and we’re not leaving the future to chance. With GRIT: Government Reform, Innovation & Transparency, we’re empowering public employees to lead change, solve problems, and deliver smarter service at every level of government. https://t.co/aRMpQ9VnoF

That’s a solid crew there—I’m here for anything with David Jonsson after Alien: Romulus. Also, the Hunger Games movies were way better than they had any right to be, so I am very much looking forward to seeing how Francis Lawrence adapts Stephen King.

The task is simple. Walk or die. Watch the harrowing official trailer for THE LONG WALK, based on the @StephenKing novel. Only in theaters on September 12. https://t.co/cWLSb706yi

These are a few of my favorite thiiiiings #toxicavenger #horror https://t.co/ZFTsxt8gZI
