Topic: Miscellaneous 11:42 am EDT, Aug  9, 2014

Jacob Kastrenakes:

Your bag of potato chips can hear what you're saying.

Alexis Madrigal:

The Starbucks latte, as it developed, became to its espresso+milk European ancestors what Panda Express is to high Sichuan cuisine: deracinated, but irresistible.

Washington Post:

Carmen Fuentes, the deputy scheduler for Rep. Austin Scott (R-Ga.) is the type of foodie who could add Nutella to a Choco Taco.

Diana Vreeland:

We all need a splash of bad taste. No taste is what I'm against.

Jana Uyeda, 35, a photographer and social media consultant in Seattle:

I love my friends, but sometimes their taste in restaurants is terrible.

Yarek Waszul:

Tumblr, infectious as it may be, is symptomatic of a vacuous taste-making culture that thrives on fickle inside jokes and the immediacy of novelty qua novelty.

Will Blythe:

... as insufferable in their virtue as a teenage vegan ...

Adam Kotsko:

My local grocery store, in a pretty progressive neighborhood famous for its lesbian population, doesn't even bother to carry recycled paper towels.
