    I have seen someone grating cold butter and put it into a bowl with whiskey. Leave that in the fridge for a few days. The whiskey is supposed to taste better, and the butter was used for a whiskey buttercream cake.

    Add another 20 bucks for the two packs of cigarettes for the two days. How could you forget that?

    Also, honey Jack? Yuck. Jim Beam all the way baby.

        pepsi max genuinely makes me want to vomit. i once only had the option to take a pepsi max at a KFC, took a few sips and felt so disgusted i didn’t even want to eat anymore. threw it out, packed my food, and went to buy a coke on the way home

        are my taste buds broken? or do people really like the flavour of what i can only describe as a 6 year old’s bathroom potion of various chemicals, died black, sweetened, and carbonated

          I recently discovered that there is a similar taste reaction to aspartame than there is to cilantro. It doesn’t taste like soap, but it tastes awful to some people. I can’t drink any sugar-free or diet drinks as they all taste horrific to me

        I’m the opposite, I prefer diet Coke and diet Pepsi. Chances are that you don’t like aspartame.

        I hear this but I don’t understand. All diet soft drinks taste absolutely disgusting to me. I’ve had both Coke Zero and Diet Coke and both have that disgusting fake sugar aftertaste.

        I either get non-Diet soft drinks or I go flavored sparkling water. I can’t do that fake sugar shit. It’s nasty.

        But the one exception for me is that I put fake sugar in my coffee. The bitter aftertaste of the coffee helps mask the aftertaste of the fake sugar.

        I think I have a mutation in a taste bud or something, but Sucralose is really a prominent and nasty taste to me in anything it’s in. Really frustrating to taste it in otherwise sugary drinks, like some of the Monster flavors.

        For reference, I also think cilantro tastes like soap. No clue if that’s an indicator or not.

            It’s very distinct. I wouldn’t call it vomit, but it’s a lingering chemical-ey taste.

              yes exactly! in another comment i described it as a sweetened and carbonated bathroom potion made by a 6 year old. i shorthand that taste to vomit because it reminds me of how doing that little puke into your mouth after a big meal feels like…

      Looks like cherry coke zero.

      Coke zero is the best one until you get alcohol involved, then you’re fucking up if you’re not using full fat coke

      Though if the plan is to mix coke with that honey jack maybe the booze is sweet enough already

        That stuff is so cloyingly sweet you’d have to mix it with water to approach something drinkable. A true alcoholic would have a handle of dewars white.

          I’ve used it instead of maple syrup on pancakes while camping. I intended it to just end up as a shit joke at my own expense, fucking around for shits and giggles, but it was legitimately sweet enough to work. Which is honestly pretty disgusting.

          A true alcoholic would have there favorite drink. But yea, any alcoholic whos preference is liquor is unlikely to be buying a lower strength flavored jawn. Wish I could remember the name of the one liquorice flavored jawn, the fucking exception. Its the regular 40to45 percent, but was flavored. Dirt cheap. Only wrecked ass elder alchos bought it. Ill remember later.

          Worked at the state stores for a couple years.

          Also cheap bourbon > cheap scotch. Fight me.

              Lol that is the drink i described. Forgive my sleepy morning brain. Thats something I used to drink with the boys when we, well, were looking to not be very mindful of our evening.

              What I had meant was Rumple Minz, a peppermint liquor.

              Again not to gatekeep being a alcoholic. Genrally they drink whatevers in front of them.

              But thats the one flavored liquor they buy by the handful. They were at the cheapest level, a doller a shooter when I worked there.

              Honestly probably great for cheap holiday mixed drinks tho.

              Probably more because of how easy it is to drink than raw strength… It’s way easier to put away a bunch of 70 proof sweetened liqueur than the same amount of alcohol worth of 80+ proof hard liquor, very easy to not realize how much you’ve had until way too late

        Coke zero is worse for your health. Artificial sweeteners have pretty bad health effects, especially the one used in coke.

        It is heavily suspected of being able to cause, heart issues, and having the counter intuitive effect to actually make your brain want more sugar, because the complete sugar activation mechanism isn’t triggered properly. It is also slightly suspected to cause cancer, although researchers don’t agree at all on this subject.

          I love how people just feel like artificial sweeteners must be bad for you. They’re okay. Not healthy, but way better than sugar.

          Also: Coke can still be kinda unhealthy, other ingredients etc…

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame

            For transparency, here is another page that seems more in favor of Aspartame: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame_controversy

            Here’s the conclusion of Yuka, which is a lot more on the “alarmist” side: https://help.yuka.io/l/en/article/r2x5e36paq-aspartame (note that the US FDA is considered as really lax compared to some other countries in Europe in terms of additives and health concerns worldwide)

            Many studies show that artificial sweeteners doesn’t help with weight loss at all

              Having less calories helps? Those ppl they studied likely didnt practice cico and ate more because they thought they saved calories from drinking less soda so they ended up at maintenence or over

              If they studied ppl who thought they were drinking regular soda but it was sugar free than youd see wight loss, but they were aware that it was sugar free and 0 calories so they ate more

                The links I listed are only about the artificial sweeteners, not sugar-free sodas

                But the main thing is: it makes you want more sugar, so you’ll end up consuming more, which doesn’t help or even makes weight regulation worse. You’ll end up getting the calories in a way or another, hopefully from good sources though

            I’d agree otherwise, else Coke Zero wouldn’t exist I guess.

            Everyone cares for their health, they just think it’s “not that bad”, which it is in a way, but that depends on the level on health and risk you’re willing to have

              I’m not a doctor but my understanding of the topic is that it’s pretty clear : any soda is bad.

              Sure, a Coke a week, in a cocktail or otherwise, does not matter much but AFAIK people who buy entire packs (as in the photo) drink sodas at every meal and that’s unhealthy over long term, no matter what brand or type of soda it is.

              So assuming that’s a well known medical fact and people still do it, then one can say they do NOT care for their health, no?

                In the situation that you are putting food flavorings in your lungs. Not made to go there… if you’re just vaping pure pg / vg that’s different. Look up popcorn lung for an example of why food flavorings should not be inhaled.

        Jack is never acceptable. Also, it’s coke zero. That’s disgusting. Proper single malt whiskey is not for mixing but there’s a lot of average blends which are perfect for whiskey coke.
