Fireball, Goldschlager in my experience, cinnamon itself is delicious; but “cinnamon-flavored” (or -scented) things never fail to make me gag. like, a few years ago I couldn’t enter Wal-Mart during the run-up to Christmas without olfactory assault from these pinecone wreaths (or was it just bags of standalone cones? I definitely don’t remember) with fake cinnamon smell all over them. It was like one of Santa’s elves taking a continuous dump in your nostrils until you got back outside

If you drink an entire bottle of firewater in an hour you feel like a dragon when it comes back up. It also ruins cinnamon flavored things forever And then you have Aftershock the drink that puts hard candy at the bottom of the bottle. I wasn't there for it but my friends decided to try to get to it once by breaking the bottle. It went poorly

It was like one of Santa’s elves taking a continuous dump in your nostrils until you got back outside My high school's Advanced Chemistry class had a lab every year where they isolated the main scent molecule in cinnamon (charmingly called cinnamaldehyde). Everyone in that class emerged smelling like an Atomic Fireball threw up on them. It was the lab that launched a thousand food aversions.

I just saw some domino commercials for "pizza insurance". To me, it came across as them saying they gently caress up their orders so often they were forced to try and make a marketing gimmick out of it.

My wife's family are Sri Lankan, and we got a chance to help her aunt look through the resumés of a few potential candidates for marrying her cousin. They were mostly full of educational background details, income potential, and most importantly their astrological details, but we showed how western we were by noting that none of them had photos. Anyways, the cousin is a git, but he ended up being matched with a doctor in the middle of nowhere in Canada, and he feels irked that she earns about twenty times as much as him.

Maxwell Lord posted:A lot of the above is also part of why America gave prohibition a shot- we as a nation really did have a problem with alcohol because it was so economical to produce. I received a present at Christmas of a book that had instructions for making fake liquor. It's got a bunch of Cabala (that's how they spell it) stuff. Printed about 1904. It has no publishers mark nor an author as it was banned in several countries as witchcraft. Example: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/occult-book-silent-friend-medical-1734534615 It instructs you to, if you'd like to make fake Irish whiskey, to use 50 gallons of "spirit" and add a lot of flavorings to cover the taste. "Spirit" means spirit alcohol. Spirit alcohol, at the time, usually meant the cheap wood alcohol. Used for cleaning and manufacturing. It will kill you. It will kill the hell out of you. But at least it will hurt the whole time and you'll go blind before death. There's a good reason the book was banned. It's bathtub gin. My parents found the book at the dump when they were dropping off garbage. It's actually my favorite present I've ever received.

No, the pizza insurance is if YOU gently caress up the order. Yo u drop it getting out of the car or something. They've had some variation of "if we gently caress it up, let us know and we'll remake it ASAP" for a while, since 10-ish years ago when they put out those commercials where they acknowledged that everyone said their pizza was crap and they actually improved the recipe. To their credit, they did own up to the fact they had the worst pizza of the national chains...it was like ketchup and Elmer's glue on cardboard. I'm not saying it's fantastic now, but it's passable and a lot better than it was.

DrBouvenstein posted:No, the pizza insurance is if YOU gently caress up the order. Yo u drop it getting out of the car or something. I believe they’re referencing a new ad they started this last year. They now have two fake insurance products they advertise. One is “carryout insurance,” for if you gently caress up, and the other is “delivery insurance” for if they screw up the order. AKA what they’ve always done, but Branded™. The carryout ads were at least vaguely amusing. The delivery ones act like if you call about missing olives on your pizza they spring into action like they’re on their way to defuse a bomb.

Another dumb marketing move aspect is that by advertising it as "insurance" that's "available" at their stores, it sounds like you have to pay extra if they deliver it wrong or whatever.

Milo and POTUS posted:What do they consider a bottle? quote:As if it really needs saying, 7 gallons of ethanol per year, per capita, is an insane number. Consider this: My significant other and I both drink alcohol. If we were drinking at 1830 levels, we would be plowing through roughly 3.4 standard, 750 ml bottles of Jim Beam White Label Bourbon per week, in a single household. Our livers would be sending us every conceivable manner of distress signal, assuming they didn’t immediately shut down.
