lol I was reminded of this the other day when looking for that clip of Adachi being a pathetic teenaged girl...
When the gang goes to Shiroku to shop for supplies before waiting for the kidnapper to show up and abduct Rise, Chie says she's going to buy anpan and milk. Anpan is a bun filled with sweet red bean paste. In English, this was donuts and milk.

Seeing "a Japanese food translated as donuts" might trigger an ancient buried memory related to 4kids Pokemon for some of us lmao. But for this part in Persona 4, this seems fitting because of why Chie is bringing up anpan and milk to begin with.
Yosuke follows her up by mentioning that combo is fitting if you're on a stakeout, because anpan and milk is their stereotype for what detectives eat when they're on a stakeout. Meanwhile, we stereotype cops as eating donuts, hence why Chie's line became donuts.

my daughter listened to an album i mentioned, liked it, and told me about it including favorite songs and quoting lyrics. this totally normal event is unremarkable which is why i am recording it here for posterity
cocaine bear was a fun b-movie, solidly made b movie. it nailed the tone of heightened reality mixed with comic ultraviolence without any mood killing winks at the audience. i'm glad the kids were ok but i still would have been team bear ftw
i wish my friend was still coming over to hang out on the weekends when her kids were with the ex. i didn't expect it to last forever, and i know i appreciated it while i had it, but i am missing it a little more than i expected now than it is gone
we had two days of sunny weather in the low eighties with twenty percent humidity. it was the hundred-year flood of perfect weather for north georgia.
i had an idea for what i want to do when my current project is done and like all great ideas, it was sudden, unexpected, and just a little ridiculous
Okay I need to prove a point. My family doesn’t do jelly donuts on Hanukkah because they’ve always said it’s just a Sephardi thing and we’re Ashkenazi, so please tell me if you do jelly donuts for Hanukkah and if you’re Sephardi or Ashki or anything else. Because I want jelly donuts.
The brain noodles are firing in complete procrastination. Here’s a sneak peak at a Ludo inspired Lawlight One Shot
Have you ever bitten into a jelly donut only to find that it had never been filled? That the sweet, sticky taste you were anticipating dried your mouth and left you dissatisfied? Light Yagami reminded L of a jelly donut. A deceptively sweet coating on the outside, and an inside that leaves a lingering taste of regret along your tongue. But, perhaps, one without filling would be too kind to Light Yagami. Instead, one takes a gushing bite of their tantalizing dessert only to find that the sticky ruby liquid reeks of iron.
L tapped the side of his donut, red speckles clinging onto the donut’s injection site.
Yes. He thought. Light Yagami is a blood filled cretin disguised as a strawberry jelly donut.
Wonderful Things That May or May Not Be Wonderful!!!
Dumplings. Potstickers. Bao Buns. Wontons. Jelly Donuts. All so very, very different yet linked by the fact that they are, according to Merriam-Webster, part of a group that consists of small masses of dough cooked by boiling or steaming (I'd also include frying). Whether those fillings are sweet or savory, whether they from the east or from the west, any kind of dumpling is a good dumpling and also wonderful.
