The Great List of Flops 2023 Q1

Title image stating "The Great List of Flops Q1 2023"

Simply put, I love a list. And I love culture. Using a list to track culture? Um, yeah, I’m into that. But I wanted to keep track of the flop things that have happened this year.

So here is the Q1 update of The Great List of Flops 2023:

The American Justice System (re: Jen Shah case)

I know she’s guilty and should see the consequences of her actions. But what about me? What about my investment in Real Housewives of Salt Lake City?

I guess I will have to rely on Mary M. Cosby…

The American Justice System (general)

Self-explanatory

Jaime and Cathy from Last Five Years with labels of Flop and Hero

Jaime from The Last Five Years

I recently rediscovered The Last Five Years and this man……..I hate him. I truly do not have the words to describe how much I hate him. Like, how could you say this to Cathy aka Anna Kendrick:

I will not fail so you can be comfortable, Cathy I will not lose because you can't win

Racism

Again, self-explanatory

President Snow

Since premiering on Netflix, people (including myself) have been revisiting The Games and also creating lovely TikTok edits of Katniss.

Since rewatching, Snow? Flop. He made almost no successful moves on the offense. He understood why certain actions happened and continued them, but brought nothing new during his leadership of Panem.

The British Museum

Give the things back.

FDA’s understanding of monogamy in gay culture

FDA’s new rules on blood donation are…unrealistic in my opinion.

Emails from stores that say your order is on its way but when you check, the mailer is still “awaiting the parcel” so it's not actually on its way

This shit drives me crazy.

Picture of Senator Amy Klobuchar with the quote, “You can’t have too much consolidation — something that unfortunately for this country, as an ode to Taylor Swift, I will say, we know all too well.”

US Senate (re: Ticketmaster hearing)

This was just an opportunity for elected officials to use Taylor Swift song titles as puns. My culture is not your democratic argument.

US House of Representatives (re: Speaker of the House election)

Honestly, this was lol.

The Williamsburg Sephora

I had a bad experience here one day. And the person at the register never actually emailed me my receipt so I can’t even complain about it to Sephora and I think she didn’t send the receipt on purpose because she knew I would complain.

Trader Joe's Alfredo Sauce

Trader Joe's usually has wonderful products. However, this sauce ain't it. In the words of Mackenzie, "I almost lost my life due to this sauce."
