Have you ever fallen down a serious YouTube rabbit hole? Maybe one that made absolutely no sense? I’ve never set foot in a Costco, but I’ve watched hours of Costco haul videos.

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “What if Labyrinth were a baking show?” we need to be friends. That might sound like the sort of question a person might ask after a few too many novelty cocktails at a Comic-Con after-party, but fortunately a visionary at Netflix recognized it as the brilliant idea it is. Now the world is getting a wild new cooking show with monster cakes and puppets, and it sounds like it’s going to be completely amazing.

But what’s a good bottle of BBQ? We tried seven national brands in order to find out. Keep reading to see our top pick.

“As my grandmother was approaching her 72nd birthday, I asked her ‘Grandma Lynda, what do you want for your birthday?'” Cher wrote in her diet and exercise book, Forever Fit. “She said, ‘Well, honey, I could really use some new sweat clothes — you know, some nice leotards.’ She had joined a gym near her house, and she just loved going there every day to work out […] My grandmother is living proof that it is never too late to change the way your body and mind can work together so you look and feel your best.”

This sale even beats Costco, the warehouse store with massive bargains, where the mixer is $350. (It’s also worth pointing out that Target currently has a refurbished option on sale for $200.)

I don’t have particularly fond memories of them from back then — at best they were bland, and at worst they were pretty soggy — but you had them for dinner and got on with it. The alternative was salmon patties (with salmon from a jar!), so fish sticks were pretty great.

Well, they’ve come a long way since then. Anyone who’s ever ordered a fish taco knows that a mild, breaded fish can pack major flavor. And thanks to a fish-loving friend, I finally found fish sticks that I’m just as happy to eat myself as I am to serve to my kids.

Yes, indeed, there are Outback Steakhouses all over the Northeast at which they could certainly claim their free fried onion bomb, but this is one of their favorite traditions — so who are we question it?!
