To be fair, I did pay full price for it, which is usually not my style. I only did it for work-related purposes. I’ll wait til Harris Teeter has it at 2 for $7, then I’ll stock up. 

I can find them, but they’re not widely available in every part of the country, and many shoppers see those as a bit of a splurge item. We wanted to go basic with this taste test—something that could help you out in whatever market you may find yourself in, even if it’s a bodega.

My weeknight recipe is essentially a modification of Marcella’s. I still can’t see myself buying sauce for pasta, but I’m a bit more open to it if it’s going to be a component in something larger, and I just want to get on with things instead of waiting another 30-40 minutes for the sauce to cook. 

We’re working on it a fast as we can, damnit! 

The translation I got was really rough and involved monkeys, and since I didn’t have an Argentinian handy, I thought I’d leave it to the commentors. Sure enough, you and another a guy upthread were able to help! This is why I love all you guys. 

If the draft had continued for a few more rounds, you would have seen Clearly Canadian, Dr. Brown’s Cel-Ray, CapriSuns and Ovaltine. 

I used to buy that shit by the case before I moved to Baltimore. I miss it so much. 

Another one on my list! I wasn’t sure if Kate or Aimee knew what it was, though, and I didn’t want to have to explain the whole thing. 

If it comes down to winning or batshit crazy, I will pick batshit crazy 100% of the time. 

Sprecher’s cream soda is THE SHIT. 

I’m originally from NYC and have lived in Baltimore for 3 years. Cheerwine is something I’ve tasted like 5 times in my life, if that many. 

And I intend to keep those types of picks coming!

I didn’t go with the Americano because I needed to play water in the first round. Then I wanted to go as wild card as possible to both shock and mystify. 

We could have done that, but we instead chose chaos. 

I was going to use it, but I already had YooHoo and since seltzer had already been mentioned I decided to go further left field. I’m a native Brooklyner, and egg creams are extremely important to me. 

It was chaos. I wish we could have done more than 5 rounds, because my list went DEEP. 

Kate was the one who inquired further, so she needs to be the one to test this. I want nothing to do with any of this.

Betty Crocker is essentially like the Doctor: she just regenerates into a brand new woman every few decades.

One is a vagina, two are vaginii, and a large group is called a murder of vaginii.
