I was always afraid of pie. My day job is in research biology, so I am absolutely dope at following a recipe and therefore can knock out the baked goods like a champ. However, something about always hearing about how people’s grandmas gave them a crust recipe and made pies with them added this mythical aura to pies.…

Ooo, I’ve seen a fair number of people out in kinja who really don’t like PSA/Crooked crew, but hot damn I love listening to Lovett get fired up like he did on the most recent show!

I’m checking back in! It seems like it is common to use sensitivity to the bitter compounds in stevia as a measure of certain taste perceptions. In one analysis I’m looking at right now the authors found that Northern Europeans were more sensitive to the bitter notes.

Soooo, I’ve been watching all of The Simpsons through the FX Simpson World site. I cast to my Chromecast and it gives me a smattering of commercial. Yesterday evening they ALL became FB Watch commercials. AND GET THIS. The shows they are advertising are for sports folks like Tom Brady and the Ball Family.

WHY do people think this bullshit about “who shows up” makes our disappointment in white women (white people in general) any less valid???????????

I don’t understand how people live anywhere near the place they grew up in for this exact reason.

Someone give this guy a fucking medal.

It is alarmingly refreshing for the punch that the Torpedo packs. I love it.

You know what Sierra Nevada’s I’m a sucker for? The frickin’ Tropical Torpedo and that Sidecar (pale ale?). I don’t even like citrus as a fruit to eat all that much (gimme a peach any day over a clementine). I was wondering about this guy. I’ll give a shot. SN is hella reasonably priced for a taste test. 

So obviously it’s not surprising to me that people have different preferences when it comes to certain flavors. Like, if you had a grandma that made you eat gross beets, you’re just not gonna like eating beets. HOWEVER the interesting thing about the way everyone here is tasting stevia is that it has a similar…

OH MY GOD, right??? Like, who are these people that get off on being the weird stranger on the internet who eats the right, infinitesimal amount of ice cream?? I almost never have ice cream in my apartment, but when I’m feeling it I’ll buy a pint of B&J’s Chubby Hubby and see where the evening takes me.

EXACTLY. I grew up outside of Chicago. We ordered regular, tavern-style thin crust pizza from the local sports bar most of the time when we had pizza. What my dad (who grew up in the city) called “stuffed” pizza we ordered much more rarely because it took FOREVER to cook and be delivered.

I wait for new episodes of Lovett or Leave It like it’s my favorite TV show! Although, it is pretty dependent on dope panelist chemistry. It sucks when there’s a weak link in the guests.

PREACH DEATH PREACH

Yeah, I’m looking at the ingredients right now and it contains erythritol, which is known to cause digestive distress in large doses. And the prebiotic protein causes “excess fermentation” in the digestive tract. That is...it makes you bloat and fart.

You are right and everyone clutching their effing pearls in this thread are lying to themselves. A “suggested serving” of Ben and Jerry’s is 1/2 of a cup. I swear to GOD if anyone here pulls a 1/2 cup measuring cup out of their drawer and can say, “Yeah, that’s all the ice cream I eat,” I will eat a pint of play-doh.

My mom kept a beta fish alive forever. They’re puddle fish! It’s why they can live without a little bubbler. They must’ve been really mistreated if they were dying over the course of an evening. Geesh.

WHAT?!?! What do you say to them?!?!?! “Sir/ma’am the implications behind this request are insane and does not reflect well on your child at their place of work.”

Poor guy, were you getting chilled by that cool breeze?

Oh my god, you are a breath of fresh air in a room populated by people who like smelling their own farts.
