Things you should try

[trev]

I'm here to lighten the mood.

I seriously need to tell you all you should buy this. And eat it.

My store had them on sale, so I bought 3 different varieties to try. This was the best of the 3.
It has become my newest favorite cereal ever.

Post something you think someone hasn't tried that they should.

Oh, I know it's not healthy. It tastes too good! I didn't bother to read the nutrition info because I knew it wouldn't be good. I eat it with skim milk though.

I would say it tastes less processed than Apple Jacks.

MrsO loves that Post cereal. She's a calorie counter and quite aware of nutritional value. I don't like all that stuff in cereal, preferring plain bran flakes or O's.

Upon further comparison....Wouldn't Post GG have less sugar and similar calories/carbs? Given the serving size, 28 g vs 55 g?

I would say it tastes less processed than Apple Jacks.

Less processed...brilliant...try eating something that has no or very little processing and see what happens.

[trev]

Derron, do you indulge in anything but whole foods? Or are you just barking at me?

[R-Jack]

The guy has replaced his colon with a garden hose. His indulging days are probably over.

Most people these days would die of constipation should they eat natural for 3 days. Lift a few weights and eat whatever the fuck you want once a week... simple really.

If you've never tried weed......

Uhh....ok. Just try it. Make sure there are fries available.

And Tarantino movies.

And ice cream.

This ..is why I love this place..

[smackaholic]

yeah, no need to worry about your colon when you can just run down to ace hardware and buy a new one.

[BSmack]

That's why you have to drink a lot of water.

Preferably mixed with instant beer.

Or a good single malt.

Any specific kinds/brands of weed, fried, Tarantino and ice cream? This thread is about recommendations and trying new things.

[BSmack]

Weed, NoCal skunk bud, Tarantino movie: Jackie Brown, Ice Cream: Ben and Jerry's.

[Roger_the_Shrubber]

A. Perfect

B. Perfect

C. Hmmm....Nutty Buddy's are great, the hard sherbert cone shaped plastic with the piece of bubblegum at the bottom, and strawberry shortcake are all solid choices. Ben and Jerry's chocolate fudge with brownie hunks is killer, though.
