@Kyeh sparking water tastes like what I imagine it would taste like if I licked the bottom of a foot.
Occasionally when I’m in a foreign country I’ll accidentally buy sparkling water instead of flat/still water because I can’t read the label. That’s always a disappointment.
@kittykat9180 I’ve never licked the bottom of a foot, so . But there are a lot of different “flavors” (scents, really) of sparkling water. Some are better than others.
@Kyeh, but then they taste like sparkling water with flavor (aka licking a foot with fruit juice on it).
I have never licked the bottom of a foot either, but if I did, I imagine it would taste very similar to sparkling water.
@kittykat9180 Well, you obviously DID, but WHY??? Plus, I totally disagree with you, and so do a lot of other people. There’s food and drink I dislike but I try not to be insulting about it.
@kittykat9180 Of course they do! But it’s not very nice to repeatedly describe what someone else likes in revolting terms!
But go ahead, I’ll ignore it here on out.
@Kyeh, it doesn’t bother me at all. I guess some people are more sensitive than others.
Perhaps you had some childhood trauma with the things at the end of our legs. Did someone hold you down and try to force you to L a F?
@kittykat9180@Kyeh actually cilantro either tastes delicious or like soap. Its a genetics thing.
But otherwise, yup people have different tastes. No need to try to gross people out over and over.
And before you ask me, I dont like feet either, but no childhood trama. I just realize peoples foot higyne is not really up to par leaving the majority of feet gnarley. I don’t like looking at, touching or taking about others feet.
@Kyeh@tinamarie1974, feel free to talk about vomit, bile, feet, even feces over and over again. I’ll totally have a conversation about any of those. I’m not sensitive.
@kittykat9180@Kyeh hey thats great! And you have freedom of speech. So maybe create a thread to discuss all things human bodily function. There may be some 12 y/o boys here who want to discuss this topic at lenght with you. My niece would be thrilled to discuss burps, farts and butts all day long if you can grab her attention.
@jouest I’ve been addicted ever since they came out with the little squirt bottles like “Mio” and other “water enhancer” brands. Tropical punch is my jam.
Mtn Dew Zero. Much tastier than Diet Mtn Dew, Mr. JD Vance… and no one has called me a racist because of it. Weird, maybe, but not racist. 95mg of caffein per 16.9 oz bottle. Yahoohoohoo!
@Jdub@Kyeh YMMV on coffee, a lab that actually tested the caffeine levels in batches that people had brewed themselves came up with a range of 11 to 138 in something that I ran across about 5 years ago. Much apparently depends on both the roast and the beans, and ultimately just how strong the person making it decides to brew it.
@Jdub@Kyeh I can say that back in the '70s, truckers would judge the wakefulness capabilities of the brew at their preferred all-night cafes in SAE viscosity. 30-weight was ordinary, also known as 50-mile. 40-wt was also known as 100-mile or “strong”. the serious stuff was called 90-wt or “damn near to Memphis” or any of several other indicators, including “Don’t get two cups, whatever you do.”
Though honestly, a mug of milk in the morning and a bottle of water at night is part of my regimen. In-between, I just have to remember to pee. (What goes in must come out.)
Coffee starts it. Water finishes it.
Iced coffee, monster, water.
Coffee, then flavored sparkling water all day long. (La Croix, Soleil, Polar, etc.)
@Kyeh This is the way.

@kittykat9180 Well, you don’t have to keep repeating that gross comparison - I get that you don’t like it.
@Kyeh, I can’t repeat that sparkling water is what I imagine licking the bottom of a foot would taste like?
@kittykat9180 Well, you obviously DID, but WHY???
Plus, I totally disagree with you, and so do a lot of other people. There’s food and drink I dislike but I try not to be insulting about it.
@Kyeh, I’m not insulted when people say cilantro tastes like soap.
You’re insulted over someone not liking the same thing as you?
@kittykat9180 No, just over your describing it multiple times in a revolting way! Geez! I could say that cilantro tastes like vomit, or bile …
@Kyeh maybe to you cilantro does taste like vomit or bile. It’s almost like people have different likes and dislikes.
@kittykat9180 Of course they do! But it’s not very nice to repeatedly describe what someone else likes in revolting terms!
But go ahead, I’ll ignore it here on out.

Sugar free, sweetened iced tea and sugar freek sweetened soda.
@chuckf1 sugar freak soda sounds like a heck of a sweetened beverage.
@chuckf1 @kittykat9180 Jolt Cola vibes.
@chuckf1 @jouest

Like many, Coffee to start. Then I go crazy and get a soft drink, usually sugar free.
Yeah, I live on the edge.
Coffee. Black. Hot.
Ok. I hit it with some tap water on the first 16oz to cool it to get it going.
Some salt because.
/youtube salt in coffee
It’s a thing. Actually heard it from an old navy submarine captain for bad coffee but. It’s good in general
I’m not making any saline solution but I do add some potassium chloride. It does change it.
@werehatrack @narfcake looks like it glitched/posted twice above if you want to correct.
Completely secondary thing. I get narf. Not sure I ever got were hat rack from?
@unksol I usually put some salt into the grounds when brewing!
@catthegreat that’s one of the ways I’ve seen to do it. I prefer black coffee regardless.
The potassium chloride is just to up the potassium in a convient way cause been on a diet. Normal table salt is… Well… Normal lol
Sugar free Kool Aid, sugar free sweet iced tea and the occasional sugar free energy drink or iced mocha.
@Pony holy crap I want KoolAid now
@jouest I’ve been addicted ever since they came out with the little squirt bottles like “Mio” and other “water enhancer” brands. Tropical punch is my jam.
Several kinds of caffeinated beverage mix, and tea.
Nitro Pepsi. And water.
Coffee starts the day, Bourbon Finishes it.
@Oldelvis are you me
Sugar
Mountain Dew
@regnowsin …or Mountain Dewn’t. There is no Mountain Try.
It’s water all day long but today I definitely need coffee.
Mostly water but supplemented with hot tea on cold days and homemade limeade on warm days.
Beer
Mtn Dew Zero. Much tastier than Diet Mtn Dew, Mr. JD Vance… and no one has called me a racist because of it. Weird, maybe, but not racist. 95mg of caffein per 16.9 oz bottle. Yahoohoohoo!
@Jdub So the same as in a cup of coffee
@Jdub @Kyeh YMMV on coffee, a lab that actually tested the caffeine levels in batches that people had brewed themselves came up with a range of 11 to 138 in something that I ran across about 5 years ago. Much apparently depends on both the roast and the beans, and ultimately just how strong the person making it decides to brew it.
@Kyeh @werehatrack I was thinking a normal cup o’ joe was around 35 mg. 14 oz of Dunkin coffee is 210 mg! I’m gonna start brewing again.

Herbal sweet tea took me 20yrs to find a substitute for regular sweet tea but I did it yum also little dt Pepsi and plenty of water.
@flourlover What brand of tea is that?
I prefer consume pure undiluted Dihydrogen monoxide throughout the day, even though it’s been proven to kill many people.
@daveinwarsh I prefer my DHM to be diluted with lots of water - preferably in the form of frozen cubes.
