It’s the same as when IHOP renamed themselves the International House of Burgers to promote their stupid burger menu then immediately changed back.
I’d love to know how much stunts like this actually convince anyone to consciously or unconsciously purchase more of whatever the marketing team is being paid to promote (I’m guessing nowhere near enough to cover their salaries and the stunt itself).
A lot of it came from Fox being the young upstart network that wanted to make waves. They started green lighting shows that no other network would put on air and it let the writers cut loose and even make fun of Fox as a network. It made them cool and less stuffy, while letting them grab onto the Gen X/Millennial core audience group. Lots of other channels did the same thing and were successful, but rarely to the degree of late 80s - early 90s Fox.
My gut tells me “maybe”
Believe it or not, a chaotic neutral or lawful good girl with a flame throwing robot dog. There are some nuances if you’re using Pathfinder.
Not OP, but the Lodge seasoning guide is a pretty good starting point. Cast iron being used forever is proof of how resilient it can be, there’s not too many things you can do that are irreparable.
Also, you don’t really need to baby it as much as most people say. Just keep using it and it’ll keep getting better.

Good lord these things were an 11/10. The peanut butter was god-like.
I actually like what they’ve done in later seasons, but you are 100% correct that they didn’t do enough to earn breaks of this size like Sopranos and Breaking Bad did.
Also, these producers need to stop green lighting shows with kids in the lead rolls without a plan in place for cranking it out if successful. The leads in ST will be 30 (HYPERBOLE) by the time they finish, and the final season is supposed to start right after the 4th season ended. It’d be like if the final Harry Potter just started shoot yesterday. People might notice.
My daughter was 7 when the first season of Stranger Things came out. Millie Bobbie Brown just said that they have 9 more months of shooting to finish the final season. My daughter will learn to drive before it airs. Re-god-damn-diculous
I feel like shrimpookies need lots of explaining.
The same idiots that tried to tell us that NFTs were “totally going to change the world bro, trust me”
Being honest, probably not much, but the amount isn’t zero. I guess I’m just not seeing how creating any kind of brand confusion helps an established brand like goldfish when people will just forget about this kind of thing almost immediately.
Shorter version, you’re right that it isn’t a large expenditure, but god, it’s so dumb.
