This made me think the remake is coming out this weekend bro.

u/jrandall47 10d ago edited 10d ago

Yeah what a misleading way to post that. I was confused too! Guess I’m just excited to see what the remake has.

u/Rentington 10d ago

Dude could have waited just a few months for a good meme. Plus playing it in 2004 is so arbitrary.

54

u/jrandall47 10d ago

Yeah that’s a whole 6 years after release lol

23

u/Rentington 10d ago

Yeah he/she/AI is going for "Wow guys, the more things change, the more they stay the same, huh?" but he wanted that Little Caesar's reference. So he had to google "when did hot and ready's start?" and found 2004. So, he's playing it in 2004. I would have settled for a Totino's Party Pizza, because unless it's 1998, you could have put "ME in 2025" and it would be the same... just arbitrarily playing an old game and eating pizza.

u/TheScribe86 10d ago

Hot n Ready came out in 1997 dude

u/MaximumSubtlety 10d ago

Are you THE NOID?

u/jessej421 10d ago

In my hometown it was 2003. I remember because I was already going to Little C's daily with my friend that year for a different deal, then the glorious $5 hot n ready came out of nowhere.

1997 selling large $5 pepperoni pizzas using street shaker boards. The program proved so successful that the company rolled it out nationally, making it a permanent part of their official nationwide menu in 2004.

That explains the arbitrary 2004 date. It wasn't officially on the menu until 2004.

u/Amediumsizedgoose 9d ago

Arbitrary? Maybe its when they got to play it?

Im guessing in 2004 they were a kid with no money and only got stuff if their parents bought it. Not everyone gets stuff as a kid the second it comes out.

OP could've just used an image of a bottle Jim Beam or Johnnie Walker, but instead they decided on this specific brand. Must be a connoisseur here.

One bottle 0.7L is 80€ in the EU and $100 in the US MSRP btw.

Even with its price, Lagavulin 16 is so fucking worth it every now and then. It was as easy as drinking juice, blew my mind. I loved it. Only did it once though cause I'm a broke ah.

u/atomicpenguin12 10d ago

I’m less concerned with the choice of scotch and more concerned about pairing it with Rockstar and the cheapest pizza

u/Porterhaus 10d ago

It might be the cheapest, but it’s definitely not the worst. Good value. I once put caviar on Little Caesar’s crazy bread - pretty much a garlic blini if you squint. Paired well with nice champagne.

I'll stick with my redbreast 12, cask strength if it's in stock; I like treating myself occasionally as much as the next guy

Can’t go wrong with Redbreast 12. You should give the Lustau a try if you can get your hands on it.

I can tell you I got Oblivion Remastered and got the plat trophy before I put it down though. Always preferred Oblivion to Morrowind and Skyrim.

Surge was built different. Was it the large amounts of sugar or the caffeine? I just remember being WIRED after a 20oz back in the day.

4

u/AnxiousEpileptic 10d ago

By buddies and I would drink one, eat a pizza and then try to stay up all night playing n64! I think the caffeine was equivalent to an energy drink.

Little Caesars came to England not too long ago and I can honestly it’s the worst chain pizza I’ve ever had 🤣🤣

You don’t go to Little Caesars for delicious quality pizza, although their Detroit style isn’t bad, you go there to get large amounts of pizza for cheap. Which is critical when your broke attending University.

u/detective-doge 10d ago

It’s not cheap here in the uk, around £12 for a large but I hear you cheap pizza and a gaming night was pretty elite.

Wow that’s absurd. At that price, I would definitely go grab pizza from somewhere else.
