I overheard this years ago from some teenage boys, and I guess its kind of a lifehack, if you consider getting smokes under aged a lifehack. "Wait outside a store until someone comes out and is opening up a fresh pack, and then ask for one. He's got a whole new pack, so he has no right to refuse". I bet the people with the magazines and baskets are all really, really old.

TheHomerTax posted:Seriously though, Coca-cola and wine? On what planet does that remotely taste like sangria? My only guess is that people who claim this have either 1) never had sangria or 2) had incredibly bad sangria. Then again, I've had good sangria and I've had bad sangria, and yes, I admit it, I tried the coke and vino thing, and while it's not half bad, it's in no way like good or bad sangria, so I dunno. I'm just blown away that this actually has a proper name and everything. I guess the REAL Lifehack is any alcohol + any cola = someone's fave beverage.

Karma Monkey posted:WTF, they don't have pencils in Romford? Over here, we have writing utensils that have built-in erasers on one end. Very high tech, and you don't have to abrade the newspaper with manicure products. During one of the hotspots of the County War, magazines began publishing puzzles. Nobody knew a good solution for creating a pen that could be used on them. The people of Romford spent a decade and 12 million pounds developing a special "puzzle pen" whose letters could be scratched off with a nail buffer. The people of Shropshire used a pencil.

I drank it a lot when on archaeological digs in Mediterranean Europe it makes the cheapest wine go much further and taste nicer. Especially if you've got one of those six litre plastic bottles of 'table wine'

TheHomerTax posted:Seriously though, Coca-cola and wine? On what planet does that remotely taste like sangria? None, but it does make a nice Kalimotxo (as pointed out), even without the added lime juice. It all depends on what kind of coke and what kind of red wine you're using, though. I prefer mine with classic coke with real sugar in it, and a good Amarone or Rioja. I do prefer them not blended at all, though, but hey, when in Rome (or Norway) et cetera.

Mexican Deathgasm posted:How would coke and red wine gently caress up your liver any worse than just wine? Mixing alcohol with some sugary soda means you can drink it without really tasting the alcohol, so you can just knock back drinks and get totally hammered before your body really notices. Especially if you're an adolescent who hasn't built up any alcohol tolerance yet, and would seriously struggle to drink that much booze straight.

Kalimotxo is a common drink all over Spain and especially in the South. If you mix it with ice, it's not half bad. This is how we used to do it at a botellon:Wikipedia posted:In times of fewer available resourcesn, a common occurrence among Spanish youth, (lack of one liter 'mini') drastic measures are taken by young Spaniards in order to save money. One common cheap way of mixing Calimocho involves a plastic bag and the Tetra Brik cartons of cheap red wine (Don Simón is a common brand). An entire two liter bottle of Coca-Cola and two liters of wine are emptied into a plastic shopping bag. Once the concoction is mixed in the bag, the bag is squeezed tightly around the rim of the two litre Coca-Cola bottle and the contents of the bag are poured into the bottle. The now-empty Tetra Brik wine cartons are fully opened and peeled back as to mimic the function of the 'mini'. The Coca-Cola bottle is then used as a distribution device to fill the makeshift 'mini'. e: we would drink half a 2 liter of Coke, add a liter of wine and mix it in the bottle.

Wouldn't a pringles can be actually better for it since it has foil inside that doesn't act like a dampener?
