Chinese People Try Panda Express For The First Time

(YouTube link)

Panda Express is a chain that’s sort of like a fast food version of American Chinese recipes. Buzzfeed assembled some Chinese folks of different generations to sample some dishes from Panda Express, and, to no one's surprise, their opinions varied. There's no mention of how long the taste-testers have lived in America (and we can assume they’re in America from their accents). What struck me is how the older generation is altogether less judgmental about the food. After all, whether something is “authentic” matters less than whether you like it. And at any restaurant, there will be offerings you like and some you don’t like. -via Tastefully Offensive

I'm a white person but I can't say that I like Panda Express. In fact, I don't know anybody that really likes it. I don't know how it stays in business, actually. It's expensive as far as fast food goes, and not sinfully delicious the way, say, Popeyes is.

The only time I've eaten at Panda Express was in Las Vegas, because it was hella cheaper than eating at the hotel. I don't really recall how good the food was, just that it beat McDonalds. In my hometown, the best Chinese food is what I make at home, and who knows how "authentic" that is.

Thanks, Killer Bee and noah!

Can I admit something here? These name suggestions are hilarious! And they suggest uses for my concepts that never occurred to me. My elephant trunk "feature" was an attempt to suggest that the shockingly cold air in snow country might be pre-warmed by the armpit. I had failed to imagine that the trunk could facilitate armpit sniffing, presumably a useful tactic for certain social situation.

As with your normal Museum illustrations, I try to envision what things you'd invent to compliment this with. Armpit sniffing goes great with foot sniffing? Maybe some sort of far out Dutch Oven Scarf?

I said something simmilar to this before but this time it's a whole lot better. Introducing the amazing
