Lets see...
1)Coffee is over-rated and not good enough to drink daily.

2) "Iced" hot drinks (ie coffee and tea) are abominations  

3) All Kardashians suck

Your turn

I hate bacon. And bananas.

@jaztastic I think you're crazy about 1 and 2, but I am 100% with you on 3!

jaztastic

@Maggie1202 YOU HATE BACON??!!! ARE YOU EVEN HUMAN? This does not compute

wendy838

iced coffee is amazing! 

It's that time of the year, but...I'm not a fan of pumpkin spice.

jaztastic

Glad we can at least agree on 3... maybe Im too old to understand why they are relevant. NO ONE F'in CARES

Pumpkin spice is trash... *fist bump*

@jaztastic As I point out to all my friends, the good news about this is that when you go to breakfast with me, you always get my bacon! YOU'RE WELCOME! 

Also, long live Pumpkin Spice (I'm basic and I don't care!!!!)

Maggie1202

@Maggie1202 my SIL doesn't like bacon either! I'm not going to say no to bacon lol, unless it's like an extra $2 to add to my burger

@jaztastic yes I'm also only an occasional coffee drinker. Even prior to getting KU when I make it at home it's always decaf. Starbuck frappucinos though... mmmmmm. Those are an occasional treat for me, but kinda rare.

On the topic of pumpkin spice....
Apple cider >>>>>>>>>>> pumpkin spice. Apple cider is always my fall drink of choice

Also, hot chocolate is good any time of year. If people can drink hot coffee all day at work, no one should be shocked that I'd want a hot chocolate even if it were in the 80s in the summer.

jaztastic

@inthewoods23 where are you from? I think we were separated at birth. APPLE CIDER IS EVERYTHING. I drink Hot Chocolate year round. Its a staple in my pantry. 

inthewoods23

@jaztastic I live in WI, but was born in IL! I spent 7 years of my childhood in AZ too so it's kinda weird that I'd still have this love for hot chocolate and apple cider when summers were in the 100s! haha

For real though, I got SUPER upset about a customer I dealt with on the phone at work earlier in the year (before covid times). I vented to a coworker and was sipping a 32oz thermos of apple cider and over the course of my ranting I calmed down so much. Apple cider has some kind of magical calming ability on me 

jaztastic

@inthewoods23 I had to LOL... this is our new normal, prefacing everything with "Before COVID"

Maggie1202

@inthewoods23 I lived in WI for 5 years! I went to UW Madison for college, then spent a year in Appleton! I'm in the PNW now, but I tell myself I'm going to go back to visit Madison all the time. Haven't made it yet...

inthewoods23

@jaztastic I mean it's still cold going into March and April here so having apple cider in those months wouldn't be that weird! But that could easily be considered earlier this year. And maybe it's said often because most people aren't in the office anymore and I wanted to make it clear that I was in the office because it was before shit hit the fan? lol

mindyb2019

@Maggie1202 OMG you hate bacon??? 😳
 Bacon is life!! LOL I love it soo much. 

Maggie1202

@mindyb2019 SORRY!!!!!! LOL!!!!!

mindyb2019

@Maggie1202 😆 Its all good. Just bugging you LOL 

pickle-chips

Apple cider is definitely way better than pumpkin spice. Although we drink it hot AND cold here, which may offend your sensibilities @jaztastic! Apple cider adjacent, cider is way better than beer. Beer gives me a real wheat belly feel. No thanks. 

Maggie1202

@pickle-chips I hate beer, love cider. So I'm with you on that one.

jaztastic

@pickle-chips nope we are still on the same page. Apple cider is like the one thing I love hot and cold. A frozen apple cider is just as fantastic as a hot cup. lol Im clearly a walking contradiction. 

Also, Beer is what I imagine horse piss to taste like. Ill take a Strong Bow, Woodchuck, Angry Orchard, Stellas or REDDs any day. 

klj0228

@pickle-chips @maggie1202 cider is too sweet compared to beer. 

I’m going to throw in a UO we had last week when I was still frequenting May. I don’t like ocean water. I can tolerate the sand at the beach, but even then don’t absolutely love it. I love to look at the ocean and I love to swim in a lake. I don’t like the sticky feeling of saltwater when you get out. 

sgrn18

@klj0228 I hate the beach.  Everything about it. I’m fair skinned so I always have to load up with sunscreen which make the sand stick to everything.  The water makes my skin and hair feel so gross.. I live in a town on the gulf coast literally people come here to go to the beach and I haven’t been in probably 10 years.  

klj0228

@sgrn18 that makes me feel much better about my dislike for it. I love being on/in freshwater I just don’t like ocean. Give me a house with a pool beachfront and I am happy as a clam. I can look at it without touching it.

fitz1989

Omg a bacon hater!?!? I love bacon so much my dad gave me a pound of bacon for Christmas one year. He wrapped it up and everything. 😂

I really dislike coffee. I think it tastes like burnt beans. I do however live the smell of freshly cut coffee beans. Mmmmmm 

I hate cities. I find them boring, dirty and crowded. Give me a quiet mountain side any day! 

ramzlau

@klj0228 I can get with you on not liking to swim in the ocean if the water is cold. Give me the Red Sea though and I will spend all day in it! 

And definitely Apple cider > pumpkin spice! Though drinking it cold isn’t my favorite. 

jaztastic

@klj0228 this might be a perfectly segue into FFFC... I am afraid of lakes. Irrational I know, but they seem dirty to me, like if I get in it Im going to come out covered in leeches with a flesh eating bacteria. Give me an ocean anyday and Im fine. Like you are with the ocean, I like to look at the lake but I just dont want to get in it. 

klj0228

@jaztastic haha...I do think many lakes are gross and the first time I get in every year I am a little ehh about it. 

DoubleUp8

@klj0228 and @sgrn18 I am with you. I hate the ocean, mostly because of the sand. It gets everywhere! event between your swimsuit and the lining, like wtf! I also do not like the stickiness of the salt. It makes me itchy afterwards.

I am a lake girl 100%. I think lakes really depend where you live. Lakes in the mountains near us (northeast) are very clear (you can see the bottom in 15 feet deep water) and clean, no leeches unless you go in the lakes that are more like ponds. A lot of the water comes from mountain run off and is filters by the rocky terrain. I think in the Southern US lakes are very different because the lack of mountains and large rocks for filtering the water. Also, since they are warm year round and do not freeze, very different things can live and grow in them. 

jaztastic

@doubleUp8 for me its not the geographical location nor the size, its literally the word LAKE that triggers me. Like when I traveled around the UP and visited Lake Superior and Lake Michigan... still wouldnt get in them 

JournoGrl23

Omg you coffee haters are crazy, haha! I love coffee. Coffee is life in the mornings. My UO is I love black coffee and won’t drink it any other way.

I love the beach, but am afraid to swim in the ocean. Also not a fan of going in lakes. If I can’t see the bottom, like a swimming pool, then I’m not comfortable.

kaitlinliz

@maggie1202 I made that comment to my SIL about seafood 🤮 she teased me the one day years ago n I was like listen, dont laugh theres more for you 🤣

kaitlinliz

Seafood is nasty
Bananas are nasty
I dont like hot tea but iced is the best (preferably unsweetened)
I also hate snow (summer is my all-time favorite time of year) but I refuse to move south either 

mamakate2011

I don’t like football, like AT ALL. And I live in Texas, so you can figure how well that goes over here. My mom says I’m un-American. I think it’s hilarious when she’ll ask me if I know who won against my college football team. I just look at her like “really, are you seriously asking me this question?”. 🤣

mamakate2011

@jaztastic giiiiiirl, I am with you on the lakes! They freak me the EFF out! We took our kids early this summer and “shivers” it made me cringe to watch them swim out so far. Lol! We went to the beach at the end of the summer and that was more like it!

jaztastic

@kaitlinliz wait wait, say wut now about seafood? I mean its wrong anyway you phrase it but that so vague... all seafood? 

Guys, I dont think she goes here. 

inthewoods23

@jaztastic we've got bacon haters AND seafood haters NOOOOOO 

To be fair, I don't really like any white fish like cod, tilapia, or halibut. My fish eating is all salmon. Count me in for shrimp, calamari, and scallops. OH AND LOBSTER. Can't believe I almost forgot lobster!

klj0228

@inthewoods23 I am not a big white fish fan either. It basically has no flavor so it is pointless. 

jaztastic

@inthewoods23 RIGHT!! What is happening. Only in 2020 can you find bacon and seafood haters in the same BMB lol. I mean I get not liking SOME seafoods. but ALL, ALL OF IT is nasty? Does not compute.
