How It's Used
"One megaplex can show virtually everything new, recent hits, a long-playing favorite, even an art film, all at the same time. ‘I call it the 31 flavors of filmgoing,’ says Mary Ann Grasso of the National Association of Theater Owners.” —Karen Heller, “Now Playing: Everything; Fourplex? Forgettaboutit. At least 14 screens is the norm in a megaplex boom that is ‘rescreening’ the nation. The AMC Neshaminy 24 in Bensalem is a preview of things to come in this area,” The Philadelphia Inquirer, October 29, 1998, p. E6. "More ice cream is consumed in July than in any other month, and most of it is still vanilla, according to the International Ice Cream Association in Washington. In much of the country, that means towering sugar cones dribbling over small hands, pints of Ben & Jerry's devoured in binges of guilt and heartbreak, and more business for the place with the 31 flavors." —Rick Marin, "Beyond Primary Colors: Bold New Ice Creams," The New York Times, June 30, 1999. "Mushroom ice cream. It's not likely to turn up in a case of Baskin Robbins's 31 flavors, but it is among the unusual delicacies you'll find at the 18th Annual Mushroom Festival in Kennett Square, Pa., next weekend. The town is widely known as the 'Mushroom Capital of the World': Almost half the mushrooms sold in the United States are grown in this area." —no author, "Mushroom Festival," The Washington Post, August 31, 2003. "In the United States, zongzi, or joong in Cantonese, are sometimes called Chinese tamales. It's good shorthand. Instead of a corn husk casing and corn masa as the grain, zongzi use bamboo leaves and rice. The fillings can vary from meaty to confectionary, but, thankfully, haven't gone down the path of 31 flavors." —Olivia Wu, "Zongzi wraps up a meal in one," The San Francisco Chronicle, July 5, 2006. "The new term of derision is FOBBIT, for those who never leave their forward-operating base. To cut down what McChrystal calls 'the recreational attitude,' he has been methodically closing down the concessions that sprout up on American bases—Pizza Hut, Burger King, Baskin-Robbins. 'We don’t need 31 flavors to fight a war,' said a McChrystal aide who did not wish to be identified, but observed that when he was based at Camp Victory in Iraq early in the war there, it was possible to shop for 39 varieties of flat-screen TVs." —Evan Thomas with John Barry and Suzanne Smalley, "McChrystal’s War: Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal believes he can win in Afghanistan. It’s the rest of the world that needs convincing," Newsweek, October 5, 2009. Links Related on eAlmanac
