That's just 98 percent of the way to a chelada, and only slightly less delicious.

Have I told you about the Rambo already? If not then it's something that the Germans mixed up, presumably to gently caress with dumbass tourists, by cracking a raw egg into a Guinness and adding tabasco and Jägermeister to taste and god knows what else I stopped paying attention for a second which in retrospect may have been a mistake because next thing I know I have a German hangover.

At least all of those weird drinks are composed of ingredients fit for human consumption.

I've seen desperate alcoholics drinking the liquid out of cans of Lysol disinfection spray as it's about 50% ethanol.

The trick was turning the cans upside down and spraying out all of the propellant first, then piercing the bottom with a nail and pouring the liquid into a bucket to be mixed with water or juice if it was a special occasion.

I finally read the Wikipedia article on what happened in Congo and it is truly, truly heinous. Europeans literally created a market for severed human hands because they wanted more rubber/chocolate?? Slaves sold openly for eating, including white men eating children, humans with their ankles broken tied to stakes immersed in the river up to their necks for 4 days to make them "plump" before slaughter...

What the gently caress!? :stonk:

Dutch in Dutch chocolate is a process, not a country, as in the chocolate that is dutched at the factory is a significantly different product than non-dutched chocolate. Natural cocoa is lighter in color and more chocolaty in flavor. Dutched cocoa is darker, sometimes much darker like in an Oreo, and less chocolatey in flavor.

Iirc dutching takes some fat out of the chocolate, so you are generally left with crispier chocolate products when the recipe uses dutched chocolate, like crispy cookies. Natural has more cocoa fat and thus produces squishier products, like brownies or gooey lava cakes. I know there is a difference in crispiness but I might have them reversed.

Edit: here watch this to learn about dutched vs non-dutched chocolate:

That wine looks vile.

Assuming you're right, it sounds like the chocolate is just a light bittering agent that maybe adds a note or two of fruitiness?

If that's the case, then that wine might be more drinkable than we think, at least in small amounts.

Man I really hope that umbilical cord blood is just meant for use in dark magic rituals and not anything really sus.


Edit:
I actually looked it up to figure out what sort of scam it was -so great now I have that on my search history- and apparently umbilical cord blood has stem cells in it that can be medically useful for the treatment of certain illness. The recommendation from a few legitmate medical places I could find is probably not to store it, as the chances of it being need are super low and it's very expensive. An option is just to donate it if there is a place near you that accepts, because, as said, it can be medically useful, and also used in medical research. So it's not actually as sus as it first sounds! Although I still wouldn't trust this random company running this sort of lottery thing. That's still weird and tacky.

I found kalimotxo to be disgusting. I didn't even finish my drink when I had it.

I've also had the chocowine and didn't think it was bad. I'd never buy it in a million years and I think I'd puke from the cloying sweetness before I could get drunk off it, but it wasn't gross or anything.

It might just be the case you lack the taste receptor for anise and similar plants. If jagermeister, absinthe, and licorice all taste like poo poo, that’s probably what’s going on. I’ve got the same thing and it kind of sucks. I thought licorice was an acquired taste for the longest time but it turns out it’s just genetic

But nowhere near as good as the coca pisco that was available everywhere in Peru. I've considered trying to order coca leaves to make it myself at home but it feels like that may be a mistake.
