I think I remember drinking a Coca Cola Blak once. Apparently I didn't hate it because I can't quite taste the flavor in my memory. I was tempted because they had it at Aldi but I guess I'll just stick to off-brand cokes instead. Summit Cola! It's half the flavor for half the price! But the savings you get from all the other things you bought from Aldi give you enough satisfaction that you don't quite care! Also I got a case of the Belle Vie sparkling lemon and grapefruit each and those are the best sparkling waters I've had in a while. The lemon + malibu on the rocks is insanely delicious. La Croix is twice the price and has like a whiff of the flavor. I really want the cases of San Pellegrino limonata or blood orange but I don't trust myself. I'd chug it all in like a day. It's too good. It's diabolically good.

Since that's a restaurant I'm assuming that "Coke" here refers to the narcotic? On gross work drinks, we came up with a cocktail to rival the Arnold Palmer, it was the "Phil Mickelson", and was UHT milk and Pink Drink (artificial POG flavored koolaid I think?) you had to drink it down fast before it curdled, but it otherwise tasted ok.

I think you've just been fooled by those prepackaged sandwiches they sell all over europe where it's like two half-slices shoved way to the front of the bread to make it look like a good sandwich but the rest is empty. Those sandwiches suck. I don't like the kind where it's like an entire pound of deli meat you can't even fit in your mouth, but 2 slices is a pretty sad sandwich.

If you have good bread you don't need all the toppings. Not much good bread in the states.

I dunno I like both raspberry and chocolate and I also like strawberry creams, but this is somehow just... gross? Like it just tastes horrible. It's like you get the initial bite and you think "ah, chocolate" and then before the chocolate flavour completes you get this weird loving fruit flavour and it just makes you feel like there is something wrong with it. Like it's not chocolate and raspberry it's like, half of the flavour of chocolate and half of the flavour of raspberry, so you're just tasting two lovely attempts at good flavours.

Yeah the strawberry lindors is the closest I can get except those are actually nice, whereas the ruby poo poo is horrible. It's weird again how they can be close but very different.

I remember going to a NYC deli and getting a sandwich that was like someone sliced a salami stick then put a thin slice of rye on either end. I had no idea how to eat it.

If they're going to the Carnegie Deli it's because they are going to a show at Radio City Music Hall and when they get home will tell the story of the giant pastrami sandwich they ate that they had to wait 2 hours for a table for. Of course it's out of business now so

Have you tried your local panaderia? Mexican bakeries are everywhere and they make some good cheap bread (and cakes, cupcakes, etc) in my experience.

The economics of bread bakeries was always hosed, there's a reason you had to bring your own bushels of wheat forever. Not surprising brick and mortar bakeries turn to donuts and cake pops to sell sugar at premium prices instead of trying to make 5 cents a loaf. There's nothing wrong with the soft forever un-stale cake breads sold in grocery stores (and is the basis of the same poo poo they bake in grocery store bakeries) and I'll get it for sandwiches if I'm like on vacation or something. But I've otherwise settled on getting a Trader Joes loaf which is surprisingly real or baking my own.

The problem is that Bread is Industrialized And Artisinal Bread costs. If a two dollar loaf suffices, the eight dollar loaf that tastes better is at a disadvantage.

Pepperidge Farm makes the best bread for sandwiches (potato or sourdough are the best kinds). I've never made a homemade loaf that comes close.
