Well, tomorrow I'm flying to Valuyki, and in a few days I'll be in Ukraine. Bye everyone, for now.

At least they brought back Heroes fans.

I don't want to upset you, but no one here fights with swords and shields...

Yeah, the setting isn't that great.

I agree.

>you read the news about nuclear weapons
you think "well, there are smart people at the top, they probably won't allow a nuclear war"
you open a biography of remarkable people
you read:

When RAND proposed a counterforce strategy, which would require SAC to restrain itself from striking Soviet cities at the beginning of a war, Power countered with:
Restraint? Why are you so concerned with saving their lives? The whole idea is to kill the bastards. At the end of the war if there are two Americans and one Russian left alive, we win!

What’s the problem? There won’t be a need to suffer from hopelessness and despair at the age of 30. It’s all positives.

In nuclear physics, the term "fission" is commonly used.

when we came to McDonald's with friends, and there were no free seats.

I bought a pack of Chocopai to treat myself; I last ate it about 15 years ago, and I've had it a couple of times since then, so I had good memories of it.
Turns out, it's just junk food for peasants: you can't taste the chocolate, the wafers look and feel like very dry, tasteless black bread, they crumble terribly, but the whole thing still sticks together because of the filling, which is quite awkward. In the end, the filling is the only thing that has any taste or texture. I checked the expiration date – it was produced a month ago, and it has a shelf life of a year, so it's fresh.
Now I'm wondering if they've replaced the ingredients with cheaper ones, which I don't really believe, because even in a franchise, it should be made according to the standards of the brand, or if my memory is playing tricks on me, which is also strange, because I still see people who talk about it unironically as some kind of standard candy of its kind.
I should have just bought some day-old cookies, honestly.

I don't know how it is now. Before, it seemed like a rather pleasant sponge cake with a chewy filling, yes. Before – that was about a year or two ago, I haven't eaten it recently, like you...
It's important to buy Orion, not Lotte. The latter was inferior to the original in all respects, by about an order of magnitude.

Orion is one, I've never seen the second one, and this is the first time I'm hearing about it.
Looks like I'll have to give it to the dogs.

Chocopai is overrated. Marshmallow is the food of the gods, but combined with biscuits, it's all terribly dry. Even the versions with jam don't work because the jam is inside the marshmallow and doesn't soak into the biscuit. It's convenient to buy a pack and keep it in the pantry; they come in individual wrappers, which can be a lifesaver if you want something sweet with your tea and other treats have run out. A similar problem exists with Yashkin's biscuit cookies with jelly – the jelly also doesn't soak into the biscuit, but it's not as dry as marshmallow, and the dryness isn't as noticeable. Among biscuit-based sweets, it's better to choose rolls with jam/cream filling, as they should be soaked through, but this depends on the manufacturer.
Probably my favorite type of cookie is layered cinnamon pretzels. I try not to buy them because I can easily eat half a pack in one go. I also remember some divinely delicious cookies that seemed to have raisins and cinnamon, and I think they were sold under the "Ozbi" brand (Ostankino Baranochnykh Izdeliy factory), but I don't remember for sure. They were rectangular, slightly glossy and browned, with wavy edges. In my opinion, cinnamon is a foolproof addition to any sweet treat. I've eaten chewing candies, chocolate bars, marshmallows, and ice cream with cinnamon, and everything was a level above its plain counterparts in terms of taste.

Choco Pies are overrated.

Well, now I finally understand that. Random, no-name candies sold by weight often turn out to be surprisingly good, but in this case, it's the opposite.

We had some good Choco Pies, although I didn't eat them often, maybe one a day or less (when I bought them), like some other fairly sweet treats that you eat once and it's enough for the day. I might eat something less sweet twice a day.
