I like frosted AND unfrosted. The frosting burns, as mentioned - without it, I can toast the pastry to the “more brown than golden” point, where I prefer it.
My contribution: I like Cheetos and Fun-Yuns … and I really like them when they’re stale.
Ummm, the answer to both halves of your sentence is “Because Necco wafers are pre-staled. They taste old and chalky on Day 1 or Day 1,000”.
And I know because I’ve got a case that I hoarded when they stopped production… turns out I LOVE old and chalky!
The fuuuuu…?
For a sexist, ignorant comment like that, NoCocoaForYou!
Dude, in my day, Brady & Farwell was home to hippie joints like The Sound Suppository (a great record store run, and named, by hippies…). Anyone who lived anywhere near there was doing 'shrooms for breakfast, and weed for lunch.
So Dinty On Wonder Bread is a stoner thing, not a Wisconsin thing.
“My arse is twtitching. . . you people make my arse twitch. . .”
College Inn used to make canned Chicken ala King which was simply my all time ultimate comfort food. I’ve tried many times to make it, but nothing quite hits the spot like theirs did.
Also mac and cheese in the box, the cheaper, the better. I don’t even like the “good” brands, but the store brand 33cent stuff is the bomb.
Unfrosted have 10 calories more than the frosted ones, as they have less sugar and more fat.
Frosted 370 calories
Unfrosted 380 calories
They have a Froot Loop flavor. Wouldn’t mind trying them, but I can wait until the next time I’m in the U.S.
Twinkies. I could eat a dozen of them in one sitting if I let myself.
Also, I recently discovered Entenmann’s mini fried pies! They are perfect. Coated in sugar, mmm!
Dinty over Minute Rice is a “cheap” thing. And also appeals to stoners.
I’ve done my rant on well-done steak here before, so I won’t repeat it. It’s wonderful though, I’ll tell you that.
What about the new Tesla truck? I’m especially not supposed to like it because I’m a hetero female. But dang it that sucker looks like it could take me just about anywhere, in just about any weather, keep me safe in an accident, and carry it’s own dang solar panels to boot. I’m in.
I sort of doubt @pkbites was a stoner-type and he enjoyed a very similar dish with the stonerscent addition of a crushed handful of chips.
You didn’t say when you were around but the neighborhood had probably a similar reputation when I was there in the late 90s-early 2000s. I lived in Milwaukee for 5 academic years (but never a summer), from 1998-2000 & again from 2002-2005, all in the same (huge!) zipcode, 53202. The Dinty on Bread Guy apartment was 2002 to 2003. The guy that ate that did so regularly was pretty quiet and, even though he was younger than me, and, I sort of considered him an old soul and not particularly a weed fiend. This was in contrast to the tie dyed, dread locked, Rasta hat wearing neighbors that lived above that were much more fitting to the stoner stereotype. I also befriended the three or four elderly and very religious ladies that lived on the ground floor. We really had some great times at that crazy place and on the East Side overall. Not so fun, I vividly recall watching the invasion of Iraq on a 12" black & white tv on the kitchen counter.
The East Side then was full of all sort of subculture in general. Besides the hippies, there were punks, goths, ravers (me), metal heads, skaters, bmx guys (also me), farm kids in the ‘big city’ for the first time, Harley guys, hiphop and rap artists, DJs. I cherish my time in Milwaukee, it is a great place to go to school.
I like the frosting that grocery stores like Market Basket and Shaws use on their cakes. Apparently we’re supposed to find it awful, but it’s yummy.
And both my brother and I share an affliction: at least once a year we’re overcome by the desire to eat circus peanuts. We both only eat a handful before we realize anew that they’re not good. But it happens again and again.
Me too! I’ll see a package of circus peanuts at the store and think - mmm those look good. I’ll buy them and eat one MAYBE 2 and then I’m done. And they have to be very fresh. I think it’s more for nostalgia than anything else.
I’ve definitely had stale Necco wafers; they lack the nice ‘snap’ that fresh ones have as they get thinner.
I’m still working my way through my hoard too; I have noticed an off-taste to the chocolate wafers, but all of the other flavors taste normal to me. I did see a press release in which the current brand owner has said that the chocolate wafer recipe will be tweaked prior to new production runs; I wonder if something happened toward the end with the original manufacturer.
Yeah, those things are tasty, but if I eat more than a handful, my stomach hurts.
I love Jack in the Box “tacos”. Note the “”.
I prefer to cut out the vodka, just Kahlua and Cream. They taste like a Root Beer float, kinda.
Yes, I like fruit cake too, but no nuts and easy on the glaced fruit- I want raisins (golden) and currants, please. OK, you can put the pecans on top as a deco.
Oh man, I haven’t had one in 40 years, but sure did love those. The closest JITB is at least 100 miles away.
Shoot… I like Tiki drinks, which are sort of the epitome of fruity drinks.
The macho types can say what they want, but a lot of the Tiki drinks are GOOD. Who cares if they’re traditionally masculine? I’d rather have a “Three Dots and a Dash” than a neat single malt Scotch.
I actually had to look that one up. Sounds like something I’d order at a tiki bar about 7 drinks in. I still prefer a good Hurricane or Cuban Sunset.
I tried JITB tacos a few years back, part of a special deal. They were messy but strangely good. Now that I’m no longer on the west coast, it’s Taco Bell, occasionally, where we can get my son’s favorite (just beef and cheese tacos).
Yep, they can be great.
