Reply to What's a movie that heavily features a Significant Other where the writers forgot to give them a personality besides "is the SO"? by thatdani
I'm pretty sure it was deliberately written that way, but Maya Rudolph's fiance in Bridesmaids is treated like a prop. I don't think he even has any lines.

I don't recall where I read about it, but shortly after I read the article it showed up as a suggestion in the app.
It was a really interesting show and I had no idea any of that was happening at the time.

I really liked this movie. I'm with you, I'm pretty surprised it only cost $2k to make.

Then why was it even available as an ingredient? I mean, I know why, just so that they could manufacture some stupid cooking show drama.
Dry ice has been used in cocktails for decades. The number of injuries and deaths from it are minuscule, far less than random allergic reactions to other ingredients. The activated charcoal is a lot more of an issue in my opinion since there is danger of interfering with medications.

I couldn't get past the first episode. When the guy put the cocktail with dry ice in front of the judges and they refused to drink it because they were afraid it would kill them I turned it off.

I'm not sure if it's specific to Baltimore, but when I lived in the area there was a specific hand signal people on the street would do for "I'm willing to pay a few bucks for a ride".
DC has a similar thing called "slug lines" at certain intersections for people to share rides out of the city.
