I had no idea it was possible to be less cool than J.C. Penney.

You forgot Radio Shack.

While the phrase “Netflix and chill” lost its chill factor a while ago, according to 1,100 teenagers, apparently Netflix itself is still pretty “cool.”

Google recently surveyed just over a thousand teens for a project that is quite literally titled, “It’s Lit: a guide to what teens think is cool.”

Scroll to page 9 of the .pdf to see the chart. The Wall Street Journal. came in dead last among 13- to 17-year-olds and next to last among 18- to 24-year-olds.

My other jeans are from Costco.

I was uncool, when being uncool wasn't cool.

I will admit their chicken tastes good (and better than other fast food chicken). I'm guilty of eating there from time to time.

I just associate it with malls, which seem to be on the decline.
