Topless beaches for one.
fwiw.... Newurldman has managed portfolios in excess of $500M.... I mean as ET folks go.... ya gotta show a little respect.
Only an American would go to Beijing and grace a Pizza Hut.
That said, as a long time in and out owner of YUMC stock, and certainly one that follows their story, was the actual physical appeal of the restaurant not damn near on par with some high end eateries here in the States? I guess the CEO knows what he's doing. Me personally, I wouldn't drop that much in a Pizza Hut.... the damn things look like Carne Mare.
It's their worst performer too.
KFC and Taco Bell kick ass though.

W/o question. I have a Mini Poodle that I rate higher than 99% of the ppl that I know personally. Ofc his parents were national best of breed winners.
They say poodles are the smartest of all the breeds. Not sure about the mini's.
Which is your go-to name-brand tuna? Of the three majors of Starkist, Bumble-Bee and Chicken of the Sea, I choose Bumble, because in all my experiences with their solid-white varieties, Bumble has the least number of incidents of finding a sharp sliver of cartilage/bone in the can.
I guess #2
2. Poodle
The poodle, one of a number of elegant French dog breeds, is often seen as high maintenance. (That curly hair isn’t going to style itself, after all.) But don’t be fooled into thinking that makes them any less clever. The breed gets high marks for its emotional and cognitive intelligence. In fact, Coren ranks the poodle second among the smartest dog breeds, right after the border collie.
And yes, sure, the dogs can look a bit posh, but they’ve also been employed during wartime to deliver supplies to soldiers on the battlefield. The job required obedience, steadfast focus, and clear-headed decision-making, and quick-learning poodles became the obvious choice. Veterinarian Wendy Hauser, DVM, says poodles are readily trainable and enjoy activities that allow them to be challenged, such as hunting, tracking, agility sports, and obedience work. On top of all that, the breed has a jovial sense of humor and a tendency to perform tricks and deliberately act cute. Not that humans need more reasons to love ’em. No matter the size—from teacup to standard—poodles are oodles of fun and majorly cute.
Toy, miniature, or standard in size, the poodle is gifted with some of the best canine brainpower. Poodles originated as hunting dogs and continue to be diligent workers and trusty companions. They can easily learn even the most complex tricks. For instance, you can teach a poodle to balance on a ball, jump through a hoop, or work as a service dog.

When I am in the mood for something quick and light, I do eat ordinary chunk light tuna packed in water, and I usually buy Chicken of the Sea.
But I have begun to experiment with other products, some of which are far more expensive, e.g., as much as $10.99 for a 5 oz. can of high-grade smoked albacore that is hand-packed in olive oil. But you're comparing apples to oranges. Smoked albacore tuna in olive oil has a completely different flavor than light tuna in water.
And you don't drain off the olive oil the way you drain the water. There is very little fluid in the can. Most of the oil has soaked into the fish, and that is one reason why the flavor is so different. So unlike tuna packed in water, there is often no significant difference between the net weight and the drained weight. And that's important to take into account when you consider the price.
For example, this photo shows a typical can of light tuna in water, with a net weight of 5 ounces and a drained weight of 4 ounces. You are only getting 4 ounces of tuna--the rest is water. But when you buy tuna in olive oil, there is almost nothing to drain off.
This is one example of such a product:

And here's an interesting article about canned tuna:
https://www.bonappetit.com/story/best-canned-tuna
Of course there is. Albacore is the white of white tuna, while the light is a mishmash of the smaller species like slipjack and yellowfin.
Assuming that is a pic of a current can of Bumble-Bee? Welp, there is shrinkflation in action. Last time I bought some canned tuna at beginning of this year it was 5.5 oz net weight. Now it is down to 5.0 oz net? Man, they get you coming and going.
