    Carlo's was the bakery where Cake Boss was filmed... Carlo was the owner (family business started by his father) EDIT: Not surprised the coffee wasn't good... so many have said his bakery was more hype than taste.

    • @Caderic
      @Caderic 6 днів тому +11

      The business wasn't started by his father, it was started by Carlo Guastaferro in 1910. It was purchased by Bartolo "Buddy" Valastro Sr., in 1964, and is now owned and operated by Bartolo "Buddy" Valastro Jr., (a.k.a. Cake Boss).
      And yeah, I have had cake from the MOA location, and it was very "meh", and over prices.

    Pastamania is when Hulk was in WCW not WWF/WWE in 1995 . Hulk & Eric Bischoff (pres of WCW ) made a deal with MOA for him to have restaurant in dealing with having the First Monday Nitro event in September of 1995 . Monday Nitro was the head to head tv show to go against Vince McMahon's Monday Night Raw called the Monday Night Wars (WCW vs WWF/WWE) . Which lead to the attitude era (stone cold, the rock, DX, etc) and later on Vince McMahon bought WCW for $5M ( $100M+ dollar company for $5M) what a deal!

The Julius Originals preparation method for DQ locations uses"the Misty® slush, and the Julius Originals preparation method for Orange Julius locations (Orange Julius without a DQ component) uses simple syrup."

    I saw a show with a Hulk Hogan interview, and he said that he had been approached by a company wanting to name their new grill after him. He said he declined because he was probably going to sign with a different company so they could use his name for their meatball making machine. The meatball machine flopped, and the grill company ended up signing their second choice, George Foreman, who made a fortune with it. 😂

It was built to be so large to provide a refuge from the brutal Minnesota winters. People in Minnesota are said to be very friendly, which makes coping with the winters better. Minnesota Nice and Minnesota Ice.

    I had the pleasure of visiting the Mall of America the first week it all opened. I went back to the Mall of America a number of times to go to Camp Snoopy. I really enjoyed the theming and rides with the famous Charlie Brown piano music playing throughout the park. Nickelodeon has squeezed more attractions into the tight space, but I liked it better as Camp Snoopy. I had heard the Log Flume had closed for good, but I'm delighted to see it's still operating. Thanks for visiting this amazing icon Adam. You Rock.

    I'm not an expert in many things my friend, but, there is very little I've not learned about Knott's Berry Farm, my absolute favorite non Disney park. The Log Ride at Knott's was built by the now defunct company "Arrow Development" the chute ride you're enjoying today. formerly known as Paul Bunyan's Log Chute, was in fact built by Hopkins Rides. Fun fact for a man obsessed with Hollywood tie ins, John Wayne and his young son Ethan were first to ride Knott's famous log ride on July 11, 1969. The Duke spent a lot of time in Bud Hurlbut's machine shop at Knott's, he designed the original version and also designed and built Calico Mine Train.

    as far as your coffee….i can’t defend that but keep in mind, could be the water in different parts of the country. It’s my understanding that NY/NJ has the best water, especially for pizza making. Come this way & check it out….not the Philly part if Jersey. More north…across the water from NYC area.

    Sad that this mall is not even in the top ten of the biggest malls in the world. America held that record since the beginning of malls, until the last 20 years

      What America doesn't have the biggest, greatest, largest... of something.? How unpatriotic and the next you do is stomp on and burn the American flag.😵‍💫

    On the ride the Paul Bunyan statue looked as if it was a repurposed muffler-Man, the ride along was great too
