I don't like black tea - some milk and no other addition makes tea perfect.

Garlic tea
Explain. EXPLAIN!

It sounds like one of those ideas where you put two good things together but end up with something a bit sub-par.

Chop a clove or two of garlic and put it in a mug of boiling water. Allow to cool a bit, then add lots of honey and lemon or lime juice. It's more of a tisane, I suppose.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Never thought of or heard about that before. I'll try it at some point in the future probably.

It has always been effective at temporarily alleviating symptoms of respiratory illnesses and settling the stomach for me. Tastes pretty nice, too.

A small town in Finland. As far as I know, this convenience store close to me is the only one in any town nearby that sells them whole by weight, summer markets notwithstanding, so it's not really common. But 'convenience' is in the name, so...

Many American convenience stores sell individual, shrink-wrapped pickles. They are hilariously overpriced, and I have never purchased one.

Shrink-wrapped pickles? Is the plastic bag full of vinegar?

My amusement probably come from the fact that the standard pickle in Belgium is a cornichon, and about an inch long.

A little bit, yes. These are larger pickles, though, a couple inches long and fairly thick.

That must be the most sexually suggestive supermarket item that's ever been conceived. Not only does it look like a penis, it comes in a condom.

Hehe, remind me of that game we had when I was in Thailand where we'd buy a single cucumber and a condom just to look at the cashier's face.

So while camping there was a nightly event where free tea and snacks were served. One such tea was a chocolate chai. Tell me, are the chai spices usually unbearably bitter, or was it just oversteeped?
