Simpsons already did it! Or rather, the Bold Italic did:

Sigh, another super fancy web design that utterly fails on mobile. The article is covered by a popup ad that is impossible to dismiss or even covert on!

I'm also mildly annoyed by these popups which conceal the content you came for, and ask you to sign up or rate the site. Why do the site designers think I can decide that, when I just arrived?

adorable, I've eaten at boloud in South Florida and it is quite a sensual celebration.

"A toast! To justice... and to vampires!"

That made my day.

The chef was a real champ about the whole thing. The whole video was very cute and charming.

This just made my day. And seriously, I like their frankness more than the pretentious style most food critics have. Judging by their reactions at least half of the course was nice.

I realise tastes do change as you age, but it was refreshing to see honest and polite food critics. Also hilarious.

Oh my god, they melted my heart. Those are the cutest kids possible. I loved how the chef integrated balloons into the meal :)

This is rather normal. When we eat the taste checksum goes thru our memory to look for matches (a.i. mother's pie) and associate good emotions.

Kids do not have much memory, but perhaps once they come back to the same restaurant 30 years later they will get this flashback.

Also their taste buds are probably more sensitive for certain chemicals that by now we are used to. For now the easiest way to get them high is sugar.

What was also fun to watch how some of them mimic table manners.

It was nerve racking.
