lmao my first year of college our school used our SSNs as our student IDs, and all grades were posted by student ID (to add some anonymity) so yeah it was just normal for someone to walk around with a paper and pencil writing down stuff posted on notice boards with hundreds of SSNs displayed

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

My first drivers license (Montana ~1997) used my ssn as the license number. When I was in the army we used our ssn for everything and were expected to rattle off the last four in all sorts of public settings

We need to treat the ssn more like a username and less like a password.

The address where the application came in from, actually, which usually is where were you born but not always

If they take out the lead they will just have to add more sugar to replace the lost sweetness. At least lead won't rot your teeth.

According to wikipedia lead has historically been used as a sweetener. I will accept this and you won't have to go out and eat some to test it.

It's fucken vile man. My first exposure was at a work conference where I casually popped a Hershey's kiss into my mouth and had to immediately cough it up into a napkin, in front of the people I was supposed to be schmoozing. Totally unpalatable, and I've happily eaten my way through a Chinese wedding full of dressed sea-slug and pigeon-toe soup.

And yeah yeah blue cheese is delicious, whatever. I don't expect children's candy to have the same challenging undertones of vomit and decay

Yeah basically this. Like the blue cheese example, French kids are probably eating that from birth and it's no problem, but a lot of Anglo people have to acquire the taste as an adult.

Either way, I don't need to be challenged with the flavour profile of fake chocolate which is otherwise waxy, chalky, and unappealing in every dimension.

i didn't grow up with it and its fine. if you focus on it sure you get a hint of it, but so you can from many other foods as well. of course, it's very typical for Europeans to marginalize anything that doesn't conform to their conservative expectations of the world.

it's ok. it's an inexpensive treat you can find in vending machines everywhere. the only international rival I've seen in this regard, Cadbury's, isn't the manna the English make it out to be, especially not after Kraft bought them. the grit is an interesting mouthfeel and better than some overly creamed thing like dove.
