Also...

Mountain Dew Pitch Black? Nasty, nasty, and more nasty piled on top of the previous two nasties. On a lark I picked some up when it first came out and then had it. Awful, just plain awful.

After it had been out for a few days I started opening the cans to drain them in the sink but for whatever reason I tried it again.

Awesome!

Put a can back in the fridge just to test it out later and it was still disgusting cold but warm it was fantastic. I don't do pop any longer but that is the only pop I've ever had which worked that way in that it was undrinkable cold but more than drinkable warm.

You're welcome for enriching your life with that story.

Yes, it is much improved due to that 3 minutes I won't get back. HOWEVER... I can somewhat relate to that experience. I drink a LOT of PowerAde (fruit punch) and can drink it cold or warm. But if I open it while warm, drink part of it, stick the rest in the fridge and then have some more once it's cooled, it is the most mixed fruit smelling thing I have ever encountered. It didn't used to be like this. They somehow fiddled with the formula while they were downsizing the bottles (32 oz to 28 oz) & now it's like liquid Fruit Loops mixed with Juicy Fruit gum. Still, even at its worst, it's better than GatorAde....or Monster.

I hate "sports drinks," no matter which flavor/brand they always seem to leave an aftertaste in my mouth. I am a hardcore ice water man.

isamudyson: /Let's keep the time wasting stories going


The single most disappointing moment of my life was as a result of food.

I'm going through Kroger and I see on a freezer endcap "two for five bucks" for your standard name brand ice cream, IIIRC it was Breyers.

"OMFG A&W Root Beer Float Ice Cream?!?!?!?"

I bought four of them and couldn't even finish one of them, it was really bad. I don't think it is a possibility to fark up root beer float ice cream without having that be what you set out to do.

Reminded me of one Royal Rumble when they showed some guys getting their numbers ahead of time.

Sami Zayn gets his card and doesn't look happy before he or whoever he was with realized it was upside down so they turn it right side up.

"Nope, still an eight."

He said something like that and I cracked up.

I have decided Kevin Owens will now be known as Karen Owens, because all he ever does is complain and gripe about literally anything and everything.  Looking like James Cordon, the king of Karens, doesn't help.

I don't know what it is exactly, but somehow LA Knight seems like a villain from Highlander The Series

I know there's zero chance of it happening, but I want Miz to win the Rumble.

What things that have zero chance of happening would others like to see?

You know there's a 10 percent chance you are hearing Brie Mode Live.

Also, I don't want Cody to win. It'd end up being like Edge. Interrupts a good storyline and instead of the guy who worked his way up, looks like he's just given the WM match after nothing all year. Would rather Theory cost him everything and Cody goes for US at WM. After the US title run, then he moves right up. Honestly, Cody at WM in Philly would be fun
