Random Fail: First World Problems

Also, cold brew coffee is way less harsh. I'm a fan.

This is what I drink

Not sure where you're at, but growing up in NYC we always had this one maybe Mexican family one floor up always playing mariachi into the early Sunday morning and screaming "Ooooooooohhhhh AIIIIIIIIIIIHAIHAIHAIHAIHAIHAIIIIIIIIIIIIII!" Mexican grito or whatever the fuck they wanna call it.

The Villalobos brothers lived about 30 blocks south of me (about a 10min bus or cab ride). Every Saturday they would hold a concert in the yard next to their building for a $5 cover. Not exactly the same style music, but I guess my point is sometimes you luck out and these guys making a lot of noise are actually prodigies...

We really are best friends.

Newman's Own is the best store-bought iced tea, lemonade and 50/50 mix that has ever been conceived by man. Don't even get me started on how good their other products are as well.

I always have a carton of the 50/50 and lemonade in my fridge. Nothing else comes close, including that PureLeaf stuff.

I like the Gold Peak unsweetened. Anything sweetened I go back to Newman's.

iced tea

Sweet or Unsweet?

[Kaslo]

Also, Red Diamond is the best in-store tea, but that's a local thing I think

[Zetanio]

It's kind of tasty but it gives me cavity just looking at it.

[Tokitoki]

Sweet or Unsweet?

Completely depends on what I'm in the mood for. Generally I do unsweetened and add my own sugar if desired. Sometimes I can't resist raspberry iced tea.

Coffee and tea are both disgusting and I don't know why anyone drinks either honestly. Seems silly to purposely give yourself an addiction to some liquid you MUST drink in the morning or otherwise you will feel horrible until you do

You aren't going to fit in here.

Agreed Newmans Own is amazing stuff.
I'm partial to the line of marinara sauce myself.

I drink mostly green tea with Splenda now if I need anything sweet. I hated tea for years but having a cold as fuck office and hating coffee I needed an alternative. I drink it because I love it not because I need it and it's rarely daily.

[Zetanio]

For marinara sauce, Rao's is the gold standard.

[Astylla]

I can't argue there at all I just wish it wasn't so expensive. Though on the flip side I don't use it often so evens out I suppose. If Costco ever carried it here I would definitely stock up.

I wish they had a larger size tbh.

I go through it really fast.

[Tokitoki]

Every once in a while the stores near me put Rao's on sale, buy one get one free or similar. When that day comes around I get 6 jars of it usually because that's the limit on the deal.

A shittier part of town in the north bay area. Needless to say it's all Hispanics who can't speak english and yeah also play loud mariachi/Hispanic music or weird people. Seriously the only other white dude here is an old coast guard reservist with a wife he "picked up in the Philippines" while he was in the navy lol.

The only thing I never mastered before my mom passed was her spaghetti sauce. I used to covet that stuff. I've tried so many times and it always falls flat. Maybe it's nostalgia but nothing has come close save for Rao's. I didn't even have any sauce out of a jar until I lived on my own , she was a firm believer in homemade everything.

Yeah.

It's a good approximation of the real sauce. The real sauce and meatballs are the best American Italian on earth.

I have no idea what you are talking about. I drink both and never felt horrible when I don't let alone need it to function in the morning. It's pretty easy if you aren't an idiot and drink way too much

My grandma made a bangin sauce. I'll see if my dad has it written somewhere or if he wings it after making it so many times.
