UO

Re: UO

  • @geojam224 when we lived in our condo, I had 1 trick or treater in 2 years...at almost 10pm and she wasn't even dressed up. I actually cried.

    Since we moved do a development, I run out of candy every year no matter how much I buy. They drive in to go trick or treating in our neighborhood!

    Y'all shut the front door about Frozen! I'm a total fan girl. I can only imagine how obsessed I would be if it came out when I was 5.

    My UO is that I'm just not a fan of Halloween. I hAvent dressed up for Halloween since I was dragged to a college party my freshman year. I got the stupidest costume and wore it like 3 years in a row so I wouldn't have to buy a new one, and then last year I was so excited to pass out candy at our new house and I had ONE trick or treater all night. Pure disappointment. This was me:

    More candy for you!

    I tried Starbuck's Pumpkin Spice Latte yesterday, and it was gross.

    Their "real pumpkin" tastes like "real ass". It felt like I was drinking a candle or something. 100% agree.
    I've had one of each. Preferred the new recipe over the syrups. It was creamier and less sweet which I was good with.
    Sounds like I might like it. I don't like Starbucks lattes because they are too sweet for me. I like the flat white but that is about it. Who is the foodbabe and what does she have to do with pumpkin spice lattes or Starbucks?

    Candy that isn't chocolate is meaninngless. I'm talking to you, Starbursts, jelly beans, Swedish fish. You all suck.
    How dare you say such things?

    Damn FoodBabe and her fear-mongering, anti-science, ignorant BS.
    Do you guys follow SciBabe? She's pretty awesome (although, slightly odd about breastfeeding, which brings down my fan factor) and puts food babe in her place.

    FoodBabe is this insane "health blogger" who isn't actually educated in science or nutrition but has a huge internet following and goes on crusades against foods (and certain ingredients in them) by twisting things around to make things sound horrible... Last year she decided to campaign against Starbucks and PSLs because she claimed one of the artificial flavorigs is a known carcinogen- conveniently leaving out the fact that it's only cargonigenic in MASS quantities (similar to many many other things we eat). She's also the one who saw a preservative ingredient in Subway's bread that is also in yoga mats and spread around that Subway bread contains yoga mat rubber. Sooo yeah. I wish I could link, you should google "Why FoodBabe is full of sh*t." By SciBabe! So awesome.

    I disagree about the bonnets. I see nothing but cuteness right here. (Perhaps because they're mine and I'm obligated to think so)

    My favorite was the anti-mac and cheese food coloring.  It's like, now that they've gotten rid of it you feel comfortable eating Kraft mac and cheese?  Of course not, so what exactly are you celebrating??

  • Tangled is superior to Frozen in every way. Better plot, funnier, cuter sidekick, more like able characters, cuter, better music... Yeah. I don't get the Frozen craze.
    I enjoy Frozen but yes, Tangled is WAY better. I mean Pascal! Maximus! Plus, the lantern scene is absolutely stunning.
  • My UO is I hate tea.

    Sweet, hot, sun -all of it.
  • @funkypineapple WHAT? What does that even mean?! Sweet tea is my "I'll give anything up in the world but THAT" drink.

    Same here! I mentioned to my midwife I was having troubles sleeping and she asked if I was drinking a lot of tea. Uhhhh???? Maybe?

  • Oooh! I love tea, but I can't stand sweet tea. It's a good thing I don't live in the South.

    At our old house 2 years ago we had 2, I bought all the candy to give out. After 2 hours we went to go wander around target instead! H brought the candy to work

    Try a peach green tea lemonade from Starbucks!! Maybe you'll change your mind
  • HAHA! I live in Alabama so I get the side eye ALL the time when I say I don't like tea. I've tried different types/flavors but I just can't get past it.

    @mcklough Solidarity!

    Do you like soda? I've known a lot of people who like soda and can't do tea. I think it's the artificial vs natural flavored (well, at least in the teas I've had them try they're natural) I hate soda, but I love herbal teas, I do like sweet tea and some flavored tea, but I'm all about the herbal and (natural dried) fruit flavors!
  • My ILs are in Florida and my H loves tea, but hates sweet tea. Whenever we're out to eat there, the waitress/waiter always gives him the side eye when he orders unsweetened iced tea.

    I love Thai tea, but I really wish I could find one without food coloring. I also like jasmine milk tea. Yummm
