I certainly can. There are American cokes that come in the same bottles as Mexican. I've bought the wrong kind by mistake and I can always tell immediately, before noticing the label.

The difference for mountain dew throwback is way bigger than for coke and Pepsi. I don't know if they just use less of it, but you can actually taste things, eg hints of citrus, rather than just sweetness and yellow (I've always had trouble describing the taste of regular dew, and "yellow" just seems right; I'm not claiming to detect the taste of coloring, nor am I professing a multi sensory experience).

this is a person who has clearly never asked for purple flavor drank

Why the hell do you guys listen to the radio when you can get an FM transmitter for like 12 bucks that plugs into your phone if you don't have an auxiliary jack

Radio seems like it's 40℅ ads and some them are awful to listen to

college radio tends to have no real ads, that's all i listen to

my entire clothing as a kid came from my cousin cause it's way cheaper to just get hand-me-downs then to buy new clothes

Canada and France are two places I can think of that aren't too far from the US where you can get horse meat in a regular grocery store...

My main issue grocery shopping is that I live alone so I need to pay attention to use by dates (yes, I can taste the difference when past the date) to make sure I can finish it before it expires, like a loaf of bread has to have a date 4 days after I buy it, unless I'm using it on the day of purchase in which case it only needs to last the next 3 days. Similarly milk - sometimes I have a little left over that I can't use in time, so I need to be careful there too.

dang dude bread lasts me like 2 weeks, how many people live with you

I am ashamed to say this, but I got a footstool to try that out. It's really annoying finding a place to put it, and honestly I didn't notice any difference in my pooping.

i think the theory or whatever is that we evolved to poop in the woods squatting, so it should help a little but if you have a fairly healthy diet i don't think you would notice

or i guess if you have a terribly unhealthy diet you wouldn't notice but for opposite reasons

shirt sizes that aren't measurement based are all a sham anyway, like i've had large shirts that fit my 124 pound frame perfectly fine

The term is quite a bit older than dry cleaning. The etymology's just the obvious - launder "dirty" money to make it "clean."

That movie was my first thought too - the only parts worth watching were all in the trailer.

Likewise Kick rear end 2 - the trailer is filled with Jim Carrey (mostly adlibbing) being funny. Watching the film, you realise that those bits are the only part of the entire movie worth watching

Let's put the final plot twist on the front of the DVD cover


its a dvd cover for an old as hell movie, there is no twist for anyone watching already

I had a friend who watched Soylent Green recently, and didn't know the twist. Another friend watched the Star Wars movies in preparation for Episode VII, having not seen them before, and was shocked by the twist in Empire Strikes Back.

Spoiling things is dumb, no matter how old something is.

i'm sorry you can't see where its smarter to market to the big bunch of people who know the twist and might check the movie out to see where it comes up, rather then the five people who don't know they blew it up! god drat them all to hell!
