Dammit, and I was just about to hook up this Coke IV directly to my bloodstream, too. Killjoy

Recommendation: if you're going to fill your body up with junk food, try real sugar instead of HFCS.

Not so much that it's worth the extra money to buy it in glass bottles all the time (I think the most you can get is a 6-pack of Coke in glass bottles around here, and it's signifcantly more expensive than 6 plastic), but every once in a while it's nice to drink from an old-fashioned bottle

Personally, I find they also tend to taste better out of a glass bottle compared to the plastic ones used most of the time

None that I know of, but it's a neat fact. Sodas in glass bottles stay carbonated.

what vending machines still use glass???

And it won't lose carbonation if it's a properly sealed glass bottle.

The drink is safe to drink for a good while after, the expiration date seems to apply to how "good" it will be. Usually the carbonation gives out before anything starts growing or it becomes unsafe to consume

out of curiosity, how solid are the expiration dates on soft drinks?

Sure does feel like they are shoring themselves up against losing a significant source of revenue...

So I guess Hasbro is going to be making Overwatch toys now

@TM2-Megatron Yeah, it is like @TheMightyMollusk says. The catch is that usually means they can contain beef, and I confirmed it by pushing my luck. XD So... yeah, if going to the theater was about watching the film, it might be worth potentially resting on the balls of my feet while technically sitting in the chair, but put it all together... and I just wait to watch it at home. Oh, and ticket prices, always ticket prices.

woot woot! Korean barbeque for dinner!

It's meat scraps. Whatever's left over from cutting up the more choice cuts.

Well, the hot dogs Cineplex has (pretty much our only big theatre chain) around here are quite good, but I have no idea of the composition, and honestly, it's probably better that way.

@TM2-Megatron In my case, shouldn't risk the hot dogs, either. Maybe if they are guaranteed to contain NO beef (can't digest it anymore >_<).

Semper ubi sub ubi

Then classmate, I mean.

A classmate of mine once did one: Asked for the English term for [underpants], he replied "underground trousers".

Urkomisch!

@Nevermore First time I have ever heard of this, but it sounds awesome!

We did that amongst ourselves in German class in college. We just called it "Germish", though.

Nevermore, you've peaked my interest and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter

The term itself is an example: "English for Runaways" is supposed to mean "English for advanced speakers".

Think of it as the German variety of Engrish, only done completely on purpose for maximum hilarity. The target audience are bilingual German native speakers who a) understand the intended meaning and b) realize the absurdness of the end result.

It's basically the official unofficial term for deliberate mistranslations between German and English, done for the lulz.

Has anyone ever heard of the term "English for Runaways"?

Okay... Seriously.. The Mystic Knights need a DVD release already.. I keep seeing them pop up in the most random of places.

Unfortunately no Squidkids at Sea World so no splat zones. Now that would have been a good brand deal to advertise in the park, and would have made more brand sense than friggin' Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog.

i think that's where the orcas jump & land on the trainers in protest to their horrible treatment

Splat zones?

It was wet from gallons of salt water. Splash zones, man.

Only if you're classy.

do you serve orca meat with butter?

I hope it was wet from butter

I used to work at Sea World in Florida, in the stroller rental warehouse, where we would regularly have to hose wet popcorn out of strollers. Popcorn hasn't really appealed to me since.

Mine got the HP Pavilion Gaming 15" Green light laptop...and I can't find anything about it except the press release and HP's own website options.

Always bemusing to find a new laptop series at Walmart and then can't find ANYTHING online about it except for the press releases

still sounds preferable to "The Hobbit."

I once farted so rank the guy behind me walked out of the lord of rings movie. Told my brother someone needed to sew my ass shut on his way out.

If I couldn't eat popcorn, I have to admit that would remove part of the appeal for my going, as well. Although the theatre chain up here still has decent hot dogs, I guess

Yeah.. Stomach issues is one of the big medical reasons for me as well.

I rarely go to movie theaters anymore: besides being too fat to sit comfortably in the seats, I have digestive health issues. No popcorn at all. >_<

Medical reasons.

why?

I can't even go the theater anymore really.

Personally, I like the short wait. As much as I still enjoy going to the theatre, I also like getting movies at home as soon as possible

Just found out John Mahoney (Martin Crane in Frasier) died earlier this year. That's sad.

I don't think I'm ever going to get used to the turn around time on new movies making it to home formats.

Only for Steelbooks and whatnot, anyway
