Weird World Showcase Food Item Spotlight
This week’s weird World Showcase food item was two boxes of “Lovely Puffs” from the China Pavilion. Described as a “sandwich biscuit” but looking more like a pastry filled with creme filling, these tiny biscuits smelled good and the studio was looking forward to digging in:
This item garnered mixed reviews from the studio, however, it’s worth noting that the first box was completely empty before the halfway mark of the show!
The Wonderful World of Psychotic Comments
The Wonderful World of Psychotic Comments brings you our favorite comments of the week on various WDWNT articles. Read some highlights from this segment below:
Bob from Toledo: “Was this seriously a problem, next thing you know we are going to have to change Tony’s Town Square Meatballs to Tony’s Town Square Circular Meat Wads”
Mark: “That is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. They took the Star Wars names out of the Star wars restaurant in the Star wars land… There were normal descriptions under the fun names there is no reason to do this. It’s just ruining fun for fans.”
Robert: “Stupid people are why we can’t have nice things”
Andrew: “I hope they change “blue milk” to Weird Fruity Drink That’s Non-Dairy Even Though It’s Supposed To Be Milk”
REVIEW: New Vegan Plant-Based Slaw Dog Strikes Out at Casey’s Corner in the Magic Kingdom
Nick: “Well, the majority of the vegan options don’t taste like the product that it’s purporting to replace. This “Slaw Dog” doesn’t taste like a traditional hot dog (or hot Italian sausage for that matter) topped with any kind of slaw I’ve ever had so I would also give it a negative twist. If the taste of the offering is recognizable relative to what it’s supposed to emulate/replace then it would earn a decent review, no participation trophy here.”
Bob: “They can’t all be homeruns, I reckon, but I’d at least try getting to first base with it.”
BREAKING: Disney Skyliner Reopens With Modified Hours This Week
Fake News Alert: “The Hollywood line has been closed since 1939 due to unexpected downtime from a lightning strike”
BREAKING: Studio Tram Tour to be Reimagined as Cars Route 66 at Walt Disney Studios Park
Push The DHS Trashcan: “DHS dumping it’s trash in Paris again! Ha ha ha Ka Chow! Enjoy the static cars and lame show based on American idiots. We got to turn the racing academy into Elisa’s Arndale [sic] Aqua Academy since there is that little drop left to milk of Frozen before everyone hates it with a passion like Star Wars.”
PHOTOS: New Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers Hawaiian Shirt Surfs into Disney Parks
Ronald Johnson: “I want one, but please people. DO wear pants with this.”
Mic: “Dear lord, $60 for a shirt! That’s Chapek money.”
REVIEW: New Vegan Plant-Based Harvest Chili at Columbia Harbour House in the Magic Kingdom
Bob from Toledo “Maybe I’m old school but back in my day we called Chili without meat Vegetable Soup. Next thing you know we are going to start calling accidents, malfunctions.”
PHOTOS: New Donald Duck 85th Anniversary Limited Edition Plush Arrives at the Magic Kingdom
Now That’s Progress… “Nice that they tell you it is made with the 1940 Disney quality control standards and not the 2019 Chapek threadbare ink staining Olaf shirt standard. Quack quack quack”
