Post your random thoughts, questions, ideas here... I'll start
1) Have you ever watched America's Funniest Videos and wonder why the winning video is almost NEVER funny AT ALL?? We were watching some older episodes on Disney Plus and the final 3 videos are always stupid and not funny, and the worst one ALWAYS wins.. WTF..
2) How have cereal bags NOT been made with zip lock technology??
3) They need to make a container that can keep to-go french fries from getting soggy...

It's a funny coincidence the guys are talking about ninjas. I specifically came in here today to talk about ninjas after my experience at an asian restaurant last night. So my wife and I are enjoying our meals when a waitress slyly removed my wife's empty soup bowl without her noticing. I thought, "hey, wouldn't it be cool if there was a ninja-themed restaurant?" Think about it - they could shimmy down poles are do a flip over a low wall, directly to your table, take your order and then disappear in a cloud of smoke. They could place some bread at your table by throwing it in the air and slicing it up, with the pieces falling directly in front off each diner. They can do that, right? Ninja movies would be playing on TV's all over the restuarant. You know, a classy dining experience.

Ninja movies would be playing on TV's all over the restuarant. You know, a classy dining experience.I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't a Ninja theme restaurant in Japan. If you want food and a show there are Japanese flat top grills. I believe the risk of injury and OSHA may prevent something like that working and slicing bread like that rarely works out. Trying tossing something up and slicing it with something sharp it flies everywhere.
I say a versus battle would vary. Are we talking fictional Ninjas else wise they win easy. If your talking more real world then probably the Ninja. Yakuza rarely use or carry guns due to the legal nature of them and the Ninja would most likely have a sharp tool on them. Of course a well trained Yakuza might be able to win simply due to the evolution of hand to hand combat. So to sum it up
Yakuza with gun wins
Ninja with sharp tool will win against Yakuza without gun.
Yakuza with hand to hand combat training will probably win if going hand to hand.

But tossing something up in the air and slicing it is like Ninja 101. I don't think you can progress in your training until you have that part down.

You could ignore posts that you're not interested in seeing.

It doesn't have the pull piece Ziploc, but it does have the Ziploc closure. Maybe cereal companies don't do it because cereal gets finished more quickly than the rate of turning stale?

Cereal packaging is just meant to get it to your house. After you open it: they don't care. If it's stale: you'll possibly buy more and you'll blame the fact that it's been opened and old.
In other words: there is no financial reason for them to spend the money for a ziplock solution.

At one time (80s or 90s), Post cereals did have recloseable bags inside their boxes of cereal. As I recall, they worked well. I don't know when or why they stopped using them.

Tall plastic reclosable containers that you pour the cereal into after you open the box.
