Last Monday, I was wearing my Lost World shirt to Toys'r'us and an employee noticed it.

Employee: Wait, does that say Burger King?

Me: Yeah

Employee: Are they doing the movie now?

Me: No, this-

Employee: OH, it's from when The Lost World first came out! Way back then! That's so cool. They never do that stuff anymore.

I agreed that it was sad and I missed the watches and such. I tried to explain the difference between adult premiums and toy premiums. I wasn't sure he understood as he complained again about the Happy Meal toys not having glasses and stuff. Then, I tried to explain how Disney had wanted a healthier image for its films so they had gone to Subway and after that, it wasn't the same.

Well, he heard "healthier" and immediately started complaining about the government, how the government takes all the fun away, how no one ever has monopoly anymore.

I said I thought the internet had killed that.

Then, he went off on a tangent about how the internet and Amazon "killed this place" and mentioned the government again.

If you're an employee and you still think the internet killed your store, I can't help you. I bet he voted for Trump.

This month was the 20th anniversary of Can't Hardly Wait!

There was this article online calling it the most underrated 90s comedy and I had to check the author to make sure I didn't write it because I totally agree! It also has one of the best casts ever...not all shown in the trailer either.
