One bit my pinkie and shook me around when I was a wee lad. Ducks are evil.

They do make a delicious meal though.

[CrimsonAngel]

Muahahaha.

[DraPrime]

Muahahaha.

Make that buahahahaha. It sounds far more evil.

[Trobby]

I am so confused. Why do you hate ducks?

I love ducks. This is so going in my sig. =3

<minirant>Why can't anyone make organic tea without assuming it needs to be spruced up with a bit of sugar and citrus? Tea tastes just fine! You don't need to try and make it better or worse! If I wanted something that tasted like citrus, I'd get a CITRUS TEA and not a black tea. So leave my tea well alone!</minirant>

Also a local tea shop has got two different kinds of mint tea: moroccan mint and spearmint. Mmmmm!

[Rutskarn]

Man, screw tea. Carbonated high-fructose soft drinks are where it is at.

[Trobby]

I tend to add a little honey to my tea. It tastes good, and it's also good for the throat.

.....you make me sad.

I do too. I dont really like drinking tea without honey for that matter.


I'd rather drink hot chocolate over tea any day though. Its so addicting.. I even drink it in the summer.

[absolmorph]

I dislike the taste of tea. And despise the taste (and smell) of coffee.

Also, I went to my friend's birthday party today. There was music. And a white elephant gift exchange. I got a funny-ish hat. Which I wore on top of my normal hat. And under (later).
My contribution was awesome, though. I put Neopets trading card in my HearGold box, and stuffed it with tissue paper so they wouldn't move around. The dismayed screams of "NO!" filled me with joy
Of course, then the box was opened. I'm proud of my work

Honey is yummy. I got a huge bottle of a local honey that's super dark and rich, and I seriously make myself cornbread just so I can have that honey on something.

And honey goes great in hot teas to give it a little less of a harsh aftertaste. Very delicious.

Then again, there's Tejava, which is the only commercial pre-brewed tea I've found that actually tastes good. It's distinctive and made from tea leaves and water, just how it's supposed to be done!

Also Jasmine is like a heroine amongst teas for rainy and cold days. Some day I will find a girl who'll look adorable bundled up as we walk along sipping cups of jasmine and I'm marvelling at how amazingly lucky I am to be with her...

I'm sorry, what? Lost my train of thought

EDIT: As for heart gold, I remember catching Mareep back in Silver. Then it evolved to Flaffy, and I remember thinking, "I wonder if it evolves again?" Turns out it does, into Ampharos. This was my reaction:

"... what? I did not see that coming at all."

From fluffy sheep to fluffier sheep to... thing. Not that Ampharos isn't hella cool, 'cause it is, just that I did not see it coming from mareep at all.

I ain't apologizin'. Tea's alright, I guess, if you're into that sort of thing, but there's this manky leafwater edge to all of it that I can't quite get over. Doesn't matter what kind of spice or passion fruit or whatnot you stick in it, it's still basically murky plantjuice.

Coke, on the other hand, is a bullet train of all the right unhealthy nonsense. It punches you right on the nose with a blast of caffeine, scours your tongue with too much sugar, and lights your mouth up with razor-sharp carbonation. It's the finest drink I can imagine, really.

Except for Cactus Cooler. It's all that, but it tastes of orange and pineapple. That's a stroke of genius.

Pft, Coke is lame. Screw that. Mountain Dew is where it's at
I drink that stuff pretty much every day. Secretly. Because my mom hates me drinking soda.
Except, all my friends know. And are amused and slightly disturbed. Apparently, drinking a third of your torso's volume in a couple hours isn't normal. Who'd 'ave thunk.

[Superglucose]

Pineapple Soda.

It is absolutely hideous on its own, but it is the universal mixer, just like O- is the universal donor, but it tastes like salty water if you drink it straight.

[Rutskarn]

I do the Dew on game nights, out of a sense of obligation, but I have no real love for the stuff. Perhaps a bit too much on the sugary side for my tastes, I suppose.

its amazing murky plant juice!

dont get me wrong, I like soda and everything, I just cant drink a lot of it. except for Mountain Dew, that stuff is addicting. Root Beer is fine too. Coke hurts my throat when I swallow for some reason. too much carbonation maybe?

plus its been practically drilled through my head that soda is bad for you. First by my aunt, then my soccer coaches, then my track coach. so now I havent drank soda in..... 3 or four months-ish.

[Worira]

Not only does it taste like the glandular secretions of a diseased muskox, it doesn't even have caffeine. Why would anyone ever drink it?

Mountain Dew is caffeinated piss water.

[absolmorph]

Mountain Dew is caffeinated piss water.

Meh, works for me.

[Coidzor]

I do mostly italian sodas these days, since it's a lot cheaper than buying soda.

Only downside is the lack of caffeine in most syrups one can acquire.

Though a mocha italian soda is always interesting.

I like doing a lime and vanilla syrup italian soda. Sort of like a Green River Soda.

I do so want to try Cactus Cooler though... That sounds intriguing.

[Superglucose]

I never said Mt. Dew was bad

I had an ex gf get a UTI partially because she drank nothing but Mt. Dew and ate potato chips, and also partially because of poor hygene. I knew I was over her because instead of my first reaction being "Oh, I hope she's ok" it was "LOL!"

To be fair, I warned her to start eating healthy.

[Phase]

I drank Mountain Dew over the summer in a sense of brotherhood with other shut-ins. Didn't endear it to me, noxious liquid could eat a hole through the side of Fort Knox. Sprite is where its at, tastes good, and you can tell yourself its healthy despite its sugar content still being through the metaphorical roof.

[absolmorph]

I've got a very tough stomach. Drinking 64 oz of soda (which is a bit less than 2 liters, by the way) in 14 minutes got me close to throwing up, but didn't push me over the limit. And I eat... strange... concoctions I create while bored.

And Mountain Dew is actually a small part of my diet, despite the large quantities I consume. My diet is mostly pretty healthy (I eat junk food once a week, when I'm running my DnD campaign; the rest of the week is mostly home-cooked food), and I drink a lot of water and milk. So, I think the unhealthiness is surrounded by healthy-ish stuff, which makes my dietary habits less horrid. Though, the whole "eating 2 meals for half the week" should probably stop...

[Coidzor]

Dr. Pepper mixed with Mountain Dew always struck me as a good combo. Not sure why.

This. Is a good part of why it is an ex.

I've never like Dr. Pepper much. It just doesn't really taste that great to me.

And that's a good reason for it to be an ex. If it's really bad, at least.

Dr. Pepper is a good mixer with Coke. 1 part DP to 4 parts Coke adds a sort of fruitness and fizz to the beverage that goes well with fast food and other, similar dishes.

I know I'm probably up too late when I'm tittering from that...

Hmm. Next time I hit up the school caf for an unhealthy cheeburger, I'm-a try that suggestion.

I must be off my game; I didn't notice that o.O
Normally, I'm the one who starts laughing when my friends accidentally say stuff like that.

[Adumbration]

Say, I've never got around to trying Dr. Pepper. What does it taste like?

It's fairly unique. There are those who compare it to a blend of pepsi, coke, and root beer with a touch of ill-defined fruitiness.
