"It tastes just like fruit juice!" -Yoink, referring to most any white wine whilst drinking entirely unsafe amounts of it.     

[Tack]

Very off-topic, but Tack, did you get into H&L surgery?

Hot damn that's almost a decade ago now.
Short answer no, I dropped out of pre-med.
I'm awful at chemistry and the only available major was nutrition.

Yeah, if you're buying dirt-cheap shit it's going to be shit. Note that sparkling wine != champagne, there's actually a pretty steep list of practices that are required in order for a sparkling wine to be champagne, and it's illegal to call other stuff champagne in some places. We had a bottle once, for New Years, of about the cheapest genuine champagne we could find-it was still $40, but it was also really goddamn good.

Obviously not for chugging by the liter, but neither are lots of other things. To each their place and purpose. Same sort of thing applies to caviar: if you just eat some random fish roe on saltines you're probably not going to be impressed, for the same reason that a $5 bottle of sparkling wine probably won't impress.

I am reasonably sure Champagne is oner them European protected things, basically meaning that only stuff which is made in very specific ways within a certain region is allowed to be called Champagne.

Like the Forfar Bridie.

Yes, exactly. Just noting that there are places in the world *cough*China*cough* where that won't be enforced.

Do i found some malteasers at the store today?? And so i bought some thinjing that they would be like americna whopper candy and therefore be a pleasant snacking experience. Well let me tell you, i was wrong

[Neonivek]

Why are people in fiction REALLY good at picking out where people are looking?

People aren't even that good at picking out what you are pointing at...

[Egan_BW]

...People ARE good at seeing where other people are looking. I think that's most of the point to the great big visible white part of our eye.

I put a little button in Armok Vision to submit quick feedback messages, that also takes a screenshot at the same time.

So far, not a single person actually typed a message before hitting submit. So I have a long string of screenshots being sent to me with no context at all.

[Gunner-Chan]

They might be pressing the button before they type and not quite getting it. Maybe you should require something typed in and give an error if there's no comment?

[Rose]

That's exactly what I was thinking of doing.

Error: You have neglected to provide any context for the error or really cool thing you have tried to submit.
Submit anyways? Y/N

I had the exact opposite experience, thinking Whoppers would be similar to the ambrosial nature of Maltesers. I did not know that chocolate could ever feel like eating plastic.

[AzyWng]

Try unwrapping it first

[Dunamisdeos]

Try unwrapping it first

I tried to unwrap the chocolate from the whopper and it was good, but then you just get to the horrid plastic center and everything is awful again.
