AFK BRB Chocolate (CA version)

Oh, okay, well I believe all the canned chicken is packed in water (I may have seen broth). I’ve seen some that looked pretty gross, but the Costco/Kirkland brand is good: big chunks of chicken breast meat with only enough water to pack it.

Huh, maybe so.

Do you have the canned tuna?

It’s that an odd thing? Been around at least since I was little - it’s the go-to for making chicken salad, which is what I mostly use it for (easy/quick sandwich when I don’t have other food in hand). I buy it at Costco.

I’m not a fan of canned tuna, but I’ve found that canned chicken is a great substitute in recipes that call for it.

I’m not sure I’m understanding. It’s margarine or spreadable butter in a tub. How is someone supposed to use it? If I need a could tablespoons of it, what should I do that isn’t that?

Yeah, I often get cereal with died fruit in it, but it’s not the same as fresh by a longshot.

I love fruit on my cereal, but that doesn’t take a ton per bowl. I’ve gotten to the point where I only buy blueberries because they last pretty well. I’m happy when I have people over and make a fruit salad because then there’s usually some leftover other kinds of berries.

You put up a fence to keep me out, but you keep mother nature in. If God was here he’d tell you to your face, man you’re some kind of sinner.

Oh, that’s really strange. Kind of reminds me of when a friend said pineapple makes your whole mouth feel like when you lick a 9v battery, and be didn’t get why people like it. Turns out he has some generic thing that’s like an allergy to it.

The stuff I used to give my cat was fine, but she had kidney disease now and is on a prescription canned-only diet. The new stuff smells gross and it makes her poop smell much worse.

No, that was not it at all, according to her. It’s that things that smell really good to the animals don’t generally smell good to humans. She said it would be really easy to make food the animals would be excited about, but their owners would open the can and it would smell bad, so they didn’t want to buy any more of it.

Two things could hardly be more different than root beer and mouth wash. To be fair, there are a lot of different varieties of root beer - some with a heavy licorice flavor, others stronger vanilla or whatever, but they’re all sweet.

As someone else suggested, maybe you got a strong ginger beer? Those can be pretty spicy.

I’ve always hated liver, but my parents liked it so my mom used to make it. Several years ago my wife said she rememberd liking it but hadn’t had it since she was young. I was the family cook and she asked if I’d make some. Got a recipe, cooked it up with onions. Tasted like my mom’s (she was an amazing cook). I was so relieved when my wife said it was awful and never wanted to have it again.

I remember a food chemist telling me that one of their hardest problems was making things that smell and taste good to dogs and cats, but didn’t smell too gross for the humans.

Interesting, never heard that with respect to Deaf or whatever.

I’m a white guy, but that seems weird to me. We capitalize a country or origin (e.g., English, African), but not a description. We don’t capitalize “redhead” or “tall.”

Yeah, it was a pretty fun time, before the feeling that everything had to be owned by a mega corporation that would wring every drop off cash out of it.

Well, pre-WWW. There was internet, but you had to use telnet and remote into computers. Lots of bulletin board systems.

I was responding to the days of the picture. I started with computers in high school the late 70s, and got my CS degree in 85. I spent a lot of time on the Internet before there was a worldwide web.

Yeah, man, I was so full of hope and so excited about the possibilities.
