There is only one true tea and it is GREEN, without sugar, and brewed at EXACTLY 174 degrees.

What was that?
Though I do agree with the boiling water... assuming that is boiling point in Fahrenheit...

Does the visual aid help?

As far as brewing temps:

Black tea- just under boiling, 4 minutes.
Oolong- 190-195, 3.5 minutes.
Green- 170-180, 1-3 minutes.
White- 150, 2 minutes.

A man after my own heart. My own love of skittles is infamous at college, and Dr. Pepper is the drink of real men. Or Smirnoff Vodka. That stuff is fantastic. Never mind mixing it.

Never made Skittles Vodka though, oddly. Always wanted to.

Well played, sir.


I love beer/Dakka/women etc., but (sadly) have none in unhealthy amounts... I'm beginning to fear that I'm boring, or in need of a beer/Dakka/woman.

Mentos. Leave me in a room with one pack, come back 20-ish minutes later, and you'll find 10 empty ones.

Heck, any brand/type of mints make me go crazy for them.

Drinking multiple sodas a day

Sitting on my ass all day

Sticking it to the man

Now the question- what colour is your favourite?

That's like asking my which of my children is my favourite. Obviously, however, it's not the redhead.

Definitely Games Workshop's 40K universe. It was my first entry into wargaming back in the days of 2nd edition, and I have stuck with all the myriad ways of punishment by GW since then, lol. Though the latest years have finally been driving me away.....

Oooo, smoked, fall off the bone ribs. Pork. It's not great for you, but man are they amazing. Also stout beer, but that's actually pretty good for you, within limits.

Like my Sunny D comment, that statement was made entirely for the purpose of the post.

Redheads are just... ugh, take me now!

Quite surprised no-one said "girls with daddy issues". I would... but my girlfriend would kill me... she's like that, she has issues.

(I kid, I kid)

Serious answer - Diet Coke. I know a lot of people have said soda and fizzy drinks in general and I do love me some Dr Pepper and others too, but figured I'd mention Diet because I'm guessing not a lot of people here prefer it to "full-fat".
Note that I am under no illusion that Diet Coke is "better" for me, I know full well what nastiness large build-ups of it can do to a person...

Aspartame is a cancer causing agent. It's actually worse for you (if you can believe that) than regular coke. Learned that one about ten years ago from a medical professional.

I can't stand cola. I rarely ever have fizzy drinks anymore, which is kinda lucky since my depression has meant that my dental hygiene over the past few years has been appalling, so the lack of fizzy drinks (and just sweets in general, really) probably stopped things getting a lot worse than they could've been.

Red and Purple. The two are like yin and yang in my head- two parts of a delicious whole.

When I used to work at a college, we had a machine near us and the only thing in it I liked was a 2 pack of Strawberry Pop Tarts. After working there a while, I came to loathe them to the point I've never eaten them since; even the thought of them makes me sort of queasy.

I like the other flavors OK; I even really like the double chocolate ones. But I haven't had strawberry in 15 years.

Oh i forgot, the Italian dog at my work.
