MisterBibs posted:I ask for unsalted fries exclusively and unrepentantly. When I'm ordering french fries, I'd prefer to receive french fries with some salt, instead of the standard Pile Of Salt with some french fries. It's fine if you legitimately want fries with less/no salt. Dumbfucks just do that so they can get fresh fries and handing someone an order of no-salt fries only to see them go dump a mountain of salt on it is a harrowing experience and a huge "gently caress you" to the guy you made go out of his way for you.

Can someone make a site that edits all the lifehack pictures and replaces all the dialogue with HURRDURR whule keeping the rest of the picture? Seems like it'd be a perfect fit.

I get diet coke when I have McDonalds/KFC/BK, even if I go for a super duper fatboy special sized meal. I'm under no illusions as to the unhealthiness of the food (and tend to only eat it when drunk or hungover), but would rather avoid the additional 200cal of sugar on top of that. not fat

I don't get why people think its hilarious to get a diet coke with your mc donalds meal. A super sized regular coke is 410 more calories. That's a lot of calories and getting a diet coke instead is a major impact on the amount of calories for that meal. Its as many calories as a medium french fry.

It's kind of an "in for a penny, in for a pound" thing. If you're already eating terrible food it seems like there's not much point to trying to cut calories on the drink. It's pretty stupid, but as I said earlier it's iconic at this point.

I drink diet sodas exclusively because that's the only kind my mom let us have growing up, so now the regular kinds all taste sticky and gross to me. Less sugar/fewer calories is just a bonus. I do feel weird ordering it with a fast-food meal because like you said, it's the iconic "LOL what a maroon, thinks they're being healthy!" joke. But gently caress 'em, regular Coke is nasty and I'll only drink it if there is not a single alternative.  As far as life hacks, I was happy to see that the bread I buy (or the store I buy it from, not sure how that works) has just started printing the days it was made on the bread tags, so now all those people who forwarded the "Check what color your bread tag is, and compare it to this totally accurate chart to find out what day it was made! Learn the Secrets of the Tag and buy only the freshest bread!" macros have taught themselves a useless skill.

I always have to post these whenever Sandra Lee comes up, so here's what happens when you actually make some of her recipes. It's all fun and games, though, until you go to her wikipedia page and realize that she's an alcoholic because of a legitimately messed up childhood. She had deadbeat parents, and she had to take on the responsibility of raising her four younger siblings when she was 11.

Nope, not before this: Sandra Lee learns why alcohol, dairy products, and acid rarely mix. Heavy Cream instantly curdled by vodka and lemonade. But nothing can really top the clip in the post above.

I'd use sweetened cocoa though since straight cocoa is bitter. Honestly she's a train wreck that knows she's a train wreck and therefore I kind of like her and would get drunk with her. I'd bring the snacks though.

To bring this derail I started back on the tracks, I think she actually has pretty great advice. Want to bake a cake? You know they sell that poo poo at the grocery store right? Oh yeah, thanks Sandra! Time saved and you can't gently caress it up.

Rad Tad posted:To bring this derail I started back on the tracks, I think she actually has pretty great advice. The trick is that you buy the box mix because it's all basically the same thing, but you make your own frosting because the canned kind is terrible. A lot of people do it the other way around, in my experience.

Wanamingo posted:The trick is that you buy the box mix because it's all basically the same thing, but you make your own frosting because the canned kind is terrible. That's true about the frosting. My mom's an amazing baker, could whip up an awesome moist cake.. and then drown it in Betty Crocker sugar fluff. The only "life hack" that I've bothered to use is "use an egg (or eggs) in your boxed cake mix and it tastes drat near homemade" for the ones that just want water and oil. So considering the cake is the easy part, I'll at least try to whip up some homemade frosting that isn't completely awful. It's also really easy to flavour a basic frosting batch to almost anything you want. I think I've even seen a BC product where you buy an unflavoured can and a little box of whatever flavour and some food colouring for it, and you mix it yourself. That's half of the work to make it yourself anyway.

Ok, I have to ask, is salt automatically added to fries? Here in Belgium, McDonalds and other fast food chains stopped putting salt on their fries several years ago. Instead, customers grab a small packet of salt to sprinkle.

It comes out in visible levels, it's an ungodly amount of salt.

Seriously. I never get fries at McDick's for that reason. I wanted some a few weeks back (because I thought nuggets wouldn't be filling enough) and I asked for them to downsize them from the medium that usually comes in the combo to a small. Nope, can't do that. So I got the medium. Barely made it through half of it before my lips were dried out. I have no idea how anyone can eat a large or extra-large without their tongue shrivelling. e: obviously there's just as much sodium in their burgers and nuggets and whatever. It's just not as... I dunno, offensive. I don't avoid the fries for health reasons; if that was the case I wouldn't eat fast-food at all.

I'm going to guess this is the result of crushing poverty where they're left with the choice of reusing gloves or not using them at all, not some "African hospital saves money using this one weird trick!
