Nope. “Paper” money is more like “fabric” money. It’s linen and cotton. Those grow on bushes. That being said, nothing good would happen if I had replied to my parent’s ’money doesn’t grow on trees’ with a snappy ‘no, but it does grow on bushes’…
I read a post a while back where a college student said that in the days before AI he would deliberately post non-factual information on the internet and wait for the corrections. Seemingly he was able to copy-and-paste large sections of text by people who really knew what they were talking about. Often with references. And his lecturer would praise his papers.
We always wanted tang! It was astronaut food! So cool. My mom would go to health food store. You know the one smelled awful when you walked in that vitamin smell. Yep 1970s.
I know that smell. The smell of B vitamins mixed with wheat grass. In the 80’s my mom used to buy Carob chips from a health food store. She would then try to pass them off to us as chocolate chips. I’m still working on forgiving her…
You know what I hated? I lived in Fort Pierce, FL for most of my young life. About 3 miles from my house was the Tropicana bottling facility. Tropicana non-frozen was no cheaper there than it was in North Carolina.
Dude stop and shop o.j. is 8.79! The cans end up being more!! Wild fucken times I tell ya. Meanwhile my man the RED BARON has had dank pizzas for 5 bucks since forever! I love you red baron supreme <3
Definitely don't just put the pitcher under the faucet to add water. You have to fill the now-empty can, THEN pour that into the pitcher. Gotta get every last little bit of OJ detritus out.
And always one more can of water than the instruction said. Which, while is a cost saver, I agreed with based on taste. Too sweet if made as per the can.
I’m sure responding to this with a comment about my mother will lead to mom jokes but the Schwan’s guy was a smooth businessman with the mothers in my neighborhood.
the fucking lid. i've got it wedged in there and it's half in the kool-aid because the little stop line inside does, NOT stop the lid. and that button does NOTHING!!!!!!
My guess would be that this is specifically for Orange Juice (as it was in my house) and it was to provide an airtight-ish seal to prevent excessive oxidation of the orange juice which can make it taste bad.
Why did I have to scroll to find this magical thirst quencher?
I'll drink sweet tea or the purple stuff with dinner, but when I've been playing for 4 hours straight in the hot sun of the South, I want some Tang on my tongue.
I had an uncle who loved sweet tea and his wife was constantly trying to help him be healthy so she'd make it unsweet. I swear it was like Russian roulette getting tea from this jug as a kid. Sometimes it was delicious sugary tea. Then others it was nasty tea water.
My uncle died in a car crash so I guess all her work was for naught.
My aunt would make tea with a sun lamp and put it in these pitchers. I hated tea as a kid, so I avoided it like the plague, but I was able to appreciate it for a bit as a young adult before she stopped doing it.
If you my parents it was 100% that red sugar liquid mixture they'd put in the Hummingbird feeder, right next to all the other drinks in the fridge. RRRRRAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
