They obviously read this sub because they stole the whole idea from this sub. They saw the engagement on the original post and needed those sweet clicks for themselves. Guarantee this “followup” article was planned in advance.

Groundbreaking unoriginality at work here.

Buzzfeed has been stealing from reddit for years. Hacks I tell ya!

This is one of the few local papers left. I don't see the Chronicle as Amazon or Walmart. We need journalists, right? Less journalists, less accountability for politicians, the police, and others.

I mean I wouldn’t give the Reddit poster much credit. Blind taste testing isn’t exactly some revolutionary idea. They did 1 in 2022 (sfgate) and Berkeleyside did 1 last year. I’ve probably read hundreds of blind taste testing articles through the years
