Probably just throwing stuff together to see what happens? I used to do that with drinks pretty often.

Incidentally, green tea and hot chocolate are kinda' terrible mixed together. Something really good is pepsi, doctor pepper, and blueberry minute maid mixed at a 1:1:2 ratio -- you know you have it right when it turns swamp water green. Also using soda in general as a base for tea instead of water is surprisingly good if you can handle something super, super sweet.

Sounds like a secret formula discovered mixing soda fountain drinks at the cafeteria.
So many different possibilities!
And then there's the drink where it's a mix of everything... hoh boy

I've been to some Basque restaurants and they serve the Kalimotxo: Coca Cola with red wine. 

[Frumple]

Fair warning, mixing everything has a weird tendency to come out tasting like children's asprin. Like, it's frikkin' uncanny how easy it is to mix together sodas and end up with something that could pass for those old flintstones chewables.

[Mephisto]

Unless one of your products is something like Chambord. Then everything just tastes like sickeningly sweet black raspberry.


New WTF.



I think we have vastly different opinions on what "excellent working condition" means. Unless it means "these definitely work as very short boxes with which to hold very short items."

What the hell did this guy think was going to happen? He's lucky he landed to the side and not in front of it.

Probably didn't comprehend just how heavy a round bale of hay (I think that's what's pictured) is.

It seems everything was conspiring to make me late this morning.

Very icy, unexpectedly so, and it took a while to scrape all the ice off the windows. Already late now! Wait in driveway for a garbage truck to pass, it stops to pick up garbage in the next driveway. See the next turn I need to take, schoolbus turns onto it, followed by a regular bus. Drive slowly past schoolbus, wait for a moment behind regular bus as it was picking someone up, see big semi turn onto road in front of regular bus. Semi is turning at the next driveway to a factory, takes forever in doing so.

This all occurred within the first two minutes of me starting my drive.

FINALLY SOME ROAD TO MOVE ON.

DAMN RIGHT I GOT IN FRONT OF YOU SNOW PLOW.

Approach 4 way junction, I'm on the main road, stop signs on the ones attaching on the right and left. See people waiting patiently on the left, someone approaches the one on the right. They wait. They wait. As I approach their wheels start spinning because apparently the best time to attempt to go is when an approaching car is right next to you, and it's icy conditions so GUN IT OH NO NO TRACTION ARGH forcing me to put on my brakes before they give up and do what they should've done in the first place and watch as I go by. So badly wanted to give 'em the double birds, I sufficed with arms outspread, aghast look on my face.

Stuck behind someone doing 40 in a 55. Less problematical, since it's sensible, but I'm already late because of everything else so move damnit.

Everyone on the Interstate is being sensible, but there are like 3 trucks and a pickup hauling something in a row so I have to take the last 3 miles at 55 because I'm not going to risk my neck getting in front of them just to avoid 1 disciplinary point.

I still made it to work "on time", two minutes past my start time but 3 minutes before said disciplinary point.

I did have one... rather annoying customer, who put far too much thought into choosing a wax seal for their toilet, resulting in him taking 15 minutes to do something that takes most people 30 seconds.

highlights:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"wax seals!"

customer gazes at epic choices of wax seals!

"what's the difference between them all!?"

"AHAHAHA THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE REALLY THEY ALL WORK THE SAME AHAHAHA but this one is thicker and this one has a reinforced gasket in it."

customer pauses.

"uh... we also have a wax free option" *gestures toward wax free seals*

"why is this one more expensive?"

"... it's thicker"

"and this one?"

"... reinforced gasket?"

*customer picks up reinforced gasket wax seal*

"I need the bolts too"

*SUPER AMAZING SALES PERSON WHO ISN'T A GODDAMN SALES PERSON points to the one next to it*

"this has bolts"

"why is it more expensive?"

"... it has bolts"

*customer opens package, examines bolts*

"these bolts won't work"

*customer replaces bolts in box, puts box on shelf, takes wax seal with no bolts, then takes bolts which are identical to the ones in the box off the shelf. Combined cost is more than the wax seal with bolts*

"this'll do"

*customer finally lea-*

"oh I need a hose for my toilet too"

"they are right next to the wax seals. how long do you need the hose"

"I measured mine at 12 inches"

"get the next size up, thus if you made an error in your measurements you don't have to come back"

"oh okay"

*mills around for a bit*

"I don't actually need the hose, I just need the washer in the end"

*kill me please*

"washers are over here"

*SUPER AMAZING TREMENDOUSLY ANNOYED EMPLOYEE KNOWS NOTHING OF WASHERS*

*LOOKS AT WASHERS FOR SAME SIZE AS HOSE END*

*FAILS*

*PRETTY ASSISTANT MANAGER WALKS BY*

"(((HELP ME WITH THIS MADMAN))) do we have a washer like this?"

"no, I don't think so"

"((SUCK IT!)) sorry sir."

Damn son, where'd you find this?

I had leftover ice from bubble tea, and a soda stream cola mix thingy. So I just dumped it in the cup.

Probably also matters that it was coconut milk instead of regular milk. Regular milk does not enjoy coke.

But yeah it was a revelation. If there was a way to always drink this, I would.

What is meant by animal milk not “enjoying” the coke? Do you mean it floats on top? Sinks to the bottom? Produces heat and/or steam when poured on it? I have never mixed milk of any kind with pop/soda, as I do not drink them

According to the internet, the phosphoric acid in coke insta-curdles the milk. It turns into horrid little clumps.

Thank you for clarifying

[Frumple]

Huh. Looks like some sodas don't have that, actually? Maybe root beer, which occasionally isn't even carbonated. You might be able to work milk in there somehow. You definitely can ice cream, so...

Though yeah, coke as a specific term referring to coca-cola (as opposed to a more generic usage you see sometimes), probably not. Flat sounds like it might not be as acidic, so... maybe if you boiled it for a while or added something to neutralize before putting in the milk. Lot of effort for milky cola, though.

You could totally have your bubble tea coke all the time, tho'. Just have to put in the money and effort for it

Mom's vehicle broke down. Brake fluid was leaking out of something. Just caps off an already shitty day.

[itisnotlogical]

Why do people say "consume product" like it's such a hot burn? It's usually said in response to controversial new developments in old franchises. If people think that Star Wars, Pokemon, Disney etc. weren't shrewd, money-grubbing corporate enterprises from their very beginnings, they're kidding themselves.

Or do people honestly think that the deluge of plushies, Funkos, action figures, trading cards, video games, model kits, spinoffs, marketing team-ups, theme park rides and crossover deals that follow any large franchise ever come solely from the sanctity of artistic vision?

[TamerVirus]

So you’re saying we should... don’t ask questions
And consume product?
