They don’t give you tap water. They give you filtered water. Call me spoiled, but I really appreciate it when I get water from a place that sells food/bev and it doesn’t taste like a pipe that’s been marinating in Chlorine. When I’ve ordered ice water from McDonalds, I get chlorinated pipewater.

The best place to get plain old water is Starbucks.

If you are going to buy a larger container of sparkling water than you are going to drink in one sitting, go with glass. A glass container will help the sparkling water stay fizzy longer.

Here’s my recipes for when I want to revisit my childhood, but as an adult:

My chocolate addiction turned out to be a magnesium deficiency. I didn’t even set out to reduce my chocolate consumption.

I’ve never tried using an expired coupon at El Pollo Loco, but they have given me my coupon back to use at another time up until it does expire.

Sorry, “simple” has a five rule limit.

I tried frog legs before. They tasted like a combination of chicken and fish in the worst possible way.

Look at that face. I couldn’t possibly eat this cute little fella. I want to pet him, and name him Verde.

Rule #1 of Haggling:

One time, a dudebro did a wheelie down the road in front of the bus stop I was sitting at. It was impressive. Then farther down the street where he had gone, I heard the whoop-whoop of a squad car and I lol’d.

Maybe...I mean who wears reading glasses while driving?

If you win and you’re obese. That’s a really good motivation to lose weight.

Volunteering might be a good idea then. You could do the things that no one would pay you to do, but still need to be done.
