The best one was when they served professional wine tasters the cheapest white wine they could fin with red food coloring in it put in a really fancy bottle with an intricate label and the wine tasters were like "mmmm really really good red wine. The best stuff!" That might be a bit of exaggeration but I remember reading about that too. Wine tasters had absolutely no god damned clue what they were talking about. There were incidences where they would say that a white wine with food coloring added was totally a red wine, we can tell by how it tastes!

I think Sommeliers could probably tell the difference. But here, have a clickbate video showing whiskey reviewers trying different whiskeys:

I think Fireball used to be classified as a liqueur here but then they stopped selling it because it has too much propylene glycol.

Is "propylene glycol" fancy scientist talk for "bottled bad decisions"?

Give me your goddamn vodka. Good, bad, I don't give a gently caress. I will drink the poo poo out of it.

Vodka is awesome because the better it is the less it tastes like anything. If you can find Wheatley's Vodka drop the ~$20 on it and never look back. Tito's is also an acceptable cheap amazing vodka.

I'm personally indifferent, but I have noticed whenever the subject comes up, the reaction to even the mildest criticism of the practise is comparable to the reaction of someone openly swearing allegiance to the Third Reich.

The case is the same with criticising piercings / other body mods.

I'm covered in tattoos and I still tell people they are a form of self mutilation. Because they are. I like the way they look, sometimes, but you're still cutting your skin open and pouring goop into it to make yourself look different.

We have also always partaken in ritualistic cannibalism, but Jeffrey Dahmer isn't walking free.

Cannibalism isn't illegal as long as you don't murder the person or steal a body or anything right? Or is it only if its a survival situation?I have no idea how it works if you have to draw lots while adrift at sea or anything though. DOubt anyone would be prosecuted for that, but you never know.

If Alton Brown is to be believed that's due to the higher priced stuff being purified more. So what you do is get one of those brita pitchers you pour the water into and it purifies it on your countertop. Only instead you buy cheap vodka and send it through the pitcher 5 or 6 times, and have absolutely top shelf quality stuff for bottom shelf prices.

Or just spend $20 on either of the bottles I just told you about and call it a day.

Thought that was a southern thing. Unless you mean you're upset that people eat it in the midwest, which doesn't make a lot of sense since you can walk into pretty much any diner in the US and get them. So maybe what you're trying to say is you don't like it?

Frozen was the first Disney animated movie that I've seen since I was a kid and I had to shut it off by the second song. I can't say the same about even the worst pixar movie.

Frozen was terrible because there was no bad guy song. It didn't even have a real antagonist until the last 5 minutes and even then it was garbage. Tangled was good.

I'm an astronomer and everyone I've heard talk about it at work hate it. I think the people who honestly use the term "nerd blackface" are even worse than the fans of the show though. Hating it because it's not funny and the references are uninteresting is fine, hating it because you are offended by the portrayal of nerds is weird.

Nerd "culture" is terrible and even though many/most/all people in the field are nerds by anyone's definition, it is very unpopular to act like one at work. The nerdiest behavior I've seen is people getting a bit too excited about new Star Wars movies, but it's still nowhere close to the poo poo they do/say on that show.

e: that said I do get a little offended when my parents compare me to characters on the show, especially sheldon.

I think anyone would be offended by being compared to Sheldon.

Edit:
It would be like comparing someone to the mom from Malcolm in the Middle.

Tangled was good because it had that song in the bad guys bar. :colbert:

I like the stereotype of Americans being overly friendly and boisterous with strangers. It pisses the hell outta my BIL's German relatives and it's great.

I wanna go to Germany sometime this year. Are you saying that I shouldn't do the typical American greeting of a firm open hand slap to the rear end of same sex introductions? How the hell am I supposed to greet people then?

I wonder why Americans are more boisterous and outgoing than Europeans. My guess would be that our country is bigger than their continent so we're only used to dealing with ourselves instead of traveling 80 miles and being in a totally different culture.
