Ever notice how grape drinks don't taste like grapes, but they still taste purple?

Ever notice that blue raspberries aren't a real fruit? Someone just created the flavor in a lab and decided that was what it would taste like?

[Realk]

I thought raspberry was blue cause there is already to much shit in candys and drinks that's red already.

This was because vendors selling ices had strawberry and/or cherry and as a way to not have so many red-colored ices, they switched up raspberry to blue. I. I. R. C.

Everyone knows Welch's Grape Soda is the best.

I believe you all mean to say "Grape Drank"

And why the fuck isn't there more blueberry candy? Blueberries fucking rock.

Purple* drank

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

DAMNIT, you are right it's purple drank :(

[Gelston]

DAMNIT, you are right it's purple drank :(

no, purple drink has codeine in it.

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

no, purple drink has codeine in it.

Really? Where can I get some of this drink?

[Gelston]

Really? Where can I get some of this drink?

You make it yourself.

[Realk]

sizzurp or whatever. sprite and codine

[Gelston]

MERCURY IS IN RETROGRADE

[Methais]

no, purple drink has codeine in it.

Purple drink is completely different from purple drank.

Reported.

Wait... so you believe that people who are vaccinated are protected from covid.. and need to be protected from the unvaccinated who are not protected by forcing the unprotected to use the protection that didn't protect the protected?

And no one with 2 functioning brain cells believes you are a "good man" about anything.

in 1960s europe, people who were vaccinated against smallpox died from it
not all of them, not even most of them, and at a far lower rate than those who were unvaccinated
but the only way we got to no people dying from smallpox was when everyone was vaccinated against it

this is a simple historical fact. you can choose to verify it, or you can choose to hide from it

i'll be honest with you - you'll have plenty of company in the latter. you'll feel really great about all the wise cracks you can make, there's nothing as snug as smug... but if you don't want your grandkids to witness the worst pandemic in human history by the time they graduate high school, maybe a little unease is a small price to pay

[Latrinsorm]

Tons of people, often people who were clean for their entire lives, get addicted to shit just from it being prescribed from their doctor after an injury or something similar. It happens to athletes all the time, a lot of which are democrats, since you probably believe that only republicans get hooked on narcotics because reasons.

Not that anyone here would expect you to have a clue about anything at all to begin with though.

Ever wonder why big pharma is so against medical weed? Of course not, because you're an idiot who doesn't know how to think. You only know how to parrot what other people say without any thought or reason behind it.

both big pharma and big tobacco are strongly pro cannabis, because they stand to make enormous amounts of money from it, because people like you have been trained to see it as an innocuous substance. you think pfizer spent billions of dollars acquiring cannabis companies for what, opposition research? gotta look past the 1900s propaganda, dude

They are totally for cannabis as long as they can put it in a pill and patent it.

Covid isn't smallpox.

Like at all.

Covid will be with us forever. You can thank the Wuhan Lab for engineering it.

While I smile everytime you promote the Trump Vaccine.. and it should be celebrated... the fact remains that it's not very effective. It doesn't stop you from getting it.. it doesn't stop you from spreading it.

I've had covid.. and I'm far more protected than someone who has had 2 shots and a booster.

But that type of immunity doesn't count because it can't be tracked by the government.

And that should make you think.

Your mommy had to show you how to buy bologna at the grocery store when you were in your 30s because you didn't know how to do it yourself. Why should anyone listen to you in regards to anything at all again?

So i remember this comment from a few years ago... someone define cold cuts for me? like picking up a prepackaged thing of oscar mayer or going up and asking them to slice some for you at the counter? Either way it's still confusing I could probably see a child not knowing how to ask the person operating a slicer for exactly what he wants.. but picking up a package and putting it on the cash register is like a 8 or 9 learning ability.

I guess that's the point.. but i've always just said sandwhich meat, not cold cuts so i guess that's why i'm confused.

Pretty sure cold cuts are just meat that has already been cooked and sliced. Therefore cold cuts can be in packages or sliced at a deli.

Method A: Grab a pack off the shelf, bring it to the register.

Method B: Go to the deli and say, "I'd like a pound of this, sliced thin." or whatever, and then bring it to the register.

Cold cuts are the same thing as sandwich meat.

Pull up to curb. Click link you got as txt for your grocery order. Wait 5 mins till they send a kid out to load it in the trunk.

Win.

Alternate Method D: Order a sammich from Subway/Jimmy Johns/any of a multitude of sandwich shops in person or through food delivery. No "adulting" required save minimal skills and knowledge of a phone or a computer.

BUT HIMS MOMMY MAKES THE BEST SANDWICHES FOR HIM!!

You know he has to have the crust cut off for him too.. or he'll have a meltdown.

And that should make you think.

infectious diseases are all different, which is why they all have different names, but they also share common elements that allows them to be legitimately grouped under the term "infectious diseases" - among these are a simple arithmetic relationship between the contagiousness of a disease and the level of vaccination needed to prevent its spread, a relationship that holds across diseases as taxonomically and symptomatically diverse as polio, measles, smallpox, and, yes, covid-19

another crutch you'll have to give up if you want to make the world a better place for your descendants is the partisan prism through which you relentlessly view the world - you would find all four of your claims are shown to be factually incorrect upon the briefest objective examination

but like i said, it is difficult for people to let go of comfort they've had for decades, and maybe you just don't have it in you. hopefully enough other people do

i never ate sandwiches growing up, so i cannot offer any testimony on how good they were or weren't

however, i have confirmed with multiple independent sources that she made the best cookies, so it is plausible her other dough-based items were good too

[Parkbandit]

Your parents hate you.

Sandwiches are one of the greatest culinary inventions ever.

i have also confirmed with multiple independent sources that neither of those are the case

and if your expected criterion for parental affection is what kind of food their children eat, i worry even more for your kids

SPOILER: No parent would ever tell you the truth whether or not they hate you.

And you don't ever have to worry about my children. They are happy and leading productive lives.

They both know how to purchase cold cuts from the store and aren't scared about doing so.

Probably because I introduced them to the sandwich.

You have obviously never had the pleasure of eating a cuban sandwich.

The people you hang around with probably only include your real dolls that you hide out in your basement with while you fear this disease. Newsflash! Roll dolls can't talk. It is all inside your head buddy.

Those guys are too straight. I would lean towards "Birdcage" in Bhaalizmo's case.
