Just tried Dutch Bros. coffee for the first time, got a Hazelnut Freeze. It was so damn sugary.

I've never been a fan of Sparkling water, but I can't stop drinking the Clementina San Pellegrino. Tried them on a whim and they are quite tasty.

I absolutely despise sparkling water beverages. But everyone in the office loves that shit. Had a happy hour in the office a couple weeks ago and I had nothing to mix with my gin. I'm a gin and soda kinda guy so figured La Croix would work. Goddamn. It's delicious. The grapefruit flavor is perfect for gin.

Had a six pack of these to try out. They were quite good I’d say but for me at least, I couldn’t taste much of the orange (fiancé said he could definitely taste it). It was basically a slightly citrus-y Vanilla Coke, which wasn’t a bad thing.
i agree orange was almost non existent, more after tastey, but the vanilla was there, which is about one of the things i like about this.

i have no love for la croix and would be the last thing i'd drink, even w/ water present, but wife likes it, so we have a box of peach around.

Tried them as well, and I thought they were good, but not spicy enough. :(

fda needs to get involved with the 'spicy' claim bullshit, past decade it's all lies. Needs to hit a certain percent capsaicin or something to be able to claim 'spicy'. Jalapeno chips are the biggest fucking offender.

Jalapeno is kind of weird. I feel actual jalapenos are the point where I consider the food to be perfectly balanced heat wise while retaining actual good flavor. I appreciate at laest that jalapeno flavoring on chips still tastes good.

Fast food spicyness is basically scaled down to average white guy spicy levels (and maybe black people, but I don't know their tolerance). My brother is a prime example. He got one of those $1 spicy chicken sandwiches from BK. I ate one and didn't detect a hint of heat. He took one bite and panicked and said it was the hottest food he'd ever eaten.

Well that's certainly up for debate. More than likely yes

He drives a Subaru if that says anything

You had me at the first part. Then you lost me.

McCheese how many bags of the new Lays flavors have you had? I'm especially curious about:

On the topic of sparkling water: they've started putting the 0 calorie Clear Americans in soda cans instead of the monster 33 ounce/1 liter bottles, and I've been taking them to work. Golden Peach is fucking amazing. I thought it was gonna be like slightly flavored sparkling water which I hate, but it's not, it's full of flavor and doesn't taste like ass and tv static like sparkling water does. I used to drink these when I was younger, I had just forgotten. Also it comes out to like 18 cents a can at my wal-mart, which is not a bad price.

If fast food had this as an option I would definitely take it over diet coke or whatever the zero calorie option is.

Also DO NOT I repeat DO NOT buy the Clear American ICE varieties, they taste like perfume.

I really dog the Clear American stuff for awhile, but eventually after drinking diet stuff for a few months aspartame started tasting down right wretched to me. Can only handle stuff with sucralose anymore.

Lol, been getting these for a really long time. Peach is the only ones that seem to stay in stock. The ICE varieties are ok, but most flavors suck. The bitter flavors like Grapefruit are ok.

Went to McDonalds on Tuesday. they forgot toy. returned today. they roll eyes when ask for straw for child's milk . and completely left nuggets out - box is just toy, napkin, fries, apples, and incorrect sauce. try to call and they don't answer. can't leave a message because inbox full. receipt is so faded that I can't do survey. ended up buying child a second dinner at more expensive destination - which was why we stopped beforehand in the first place.

Can't leave any feedback on the website, even without your receipt code or whatever?

Especially with a history of problems, not sure why you wouldnt check before leaving even if just stopping in the parking lot rather than 5 foot past the window.
