To be honest. My understanding of “fake rants” not allowed was “Neutron Star, get on in here” and then the op is “SO I CAN LOVE YOU TO DEATH”. If the minisculity of the rant is in question, I certainly hope neutron is also registering formal complaint in the “omg what a stench” cologne thread, the thread pitting hydrocholric acid and any number of the mini rants. Not everything that pisses us off in life is on the scale of social security benefits or the ozone layer. I pitted these fucking 100 calorie packs because it seems everything is in them these days, they’re not satisfying AT ALL, and they suck. The end. GO Patriots. ---

[QUOTE=fatgail] GO Patriots. [/QUOTE] You had me until this line. I hope Tom Brady chokes to death of a Pecan Sandy. Too harsh? Okay, okay. I hope Tom Brady chokes to death on a Thin Mint. ---

[QUOTE=PunditLisa] I hope Tom Brady chokes to death on a Thin Mint. [/QUOTE] I have no idea who Tom Brady is, but I hope everyone who eats Thin Mints chokes to death and the whole mint-with-chocolate industry is besieged by lawsuits until the fuckers go under! Wow. I had a lot of pent up hostility toward Thin Mints there. 😃 ---

HAHAHA! I just discovered this thread FG, it’s awesome! Fuck the whiny wankers who don’t get it. Now I’ve never had a Pecan Sandie, but those little packs of “Turtles” should be outlawed. Give me the whole box or fuck off. 100 calorie packs are like diet pop. Whats the point? ---

Mint? You hush yer mouth! The only thing better then chocolate, is chocolate with nuts! ---

Mint chocolate…with nuts. Mmmmmmmm!!! This thread reminds me of a old commercial for some line of diet foods which showed things like “a X calorie muffin” (about the size of the end of my thumb) or “a X calorie serving of ice cream” (a spoon the size of the ones they give you with taste samples in stores). Then they would show you the same “calorie size” of their product, which was “normal size”. ---

The only use I have for mint is in a salve, under my nose when I have a cold. The ratbastard who first put it in chocolate shoulda been burned at the stake. IMHO of course. ---

The best way to enjoy mint is muddled in a glass with sugar, ice, and bourbon. ---
