Strange...

I remember I had to use hot water when Lipton Ice Tea first introduced, now we just have to add cold water and shake the bottle for 5 secs!

Do you find the powder from the usual sachet for 180ml taste differently from those packed in big sachet for 1 litre? (Lipton Ice Tea, lemon flavor)

The usual Rooibos in my cup. Have been thinking of trying it chilled, if we get a warm day (heavily overcast at the mo - UK summertime

)

Have a good vacation!

Am I the only one drinking soda? That can't be right!

mint and sparkling water. Menthe Glaciale they call it in this part of the world. Might it be spear mint?

it's hot. the weather I mean. the drink is cold.

The icy mint flavor is made of propylene glycol (E1520), mint, jambu, galangal, ginger and isopulegol [1]. The icy mint syrup contains sugar, glucose syrup, fructose, water, natural flavors, citric acid (acidifier) and patent blue (E131 dye) [2].

In the Caribbean, a popular belief that icy mint lotion can separate two people. For this, we recorded the names of two victims on the bottle and is coated with lotion a doorknob that both people have to touch [7]. Icy mint is also used in Martinique to prepare cleaning baths against negative entities and charms of protection [8]. There is no scientific evidence of the effectiveness of these recipes.

Moving on to a caffinated tea after two pots of Rooibos.

Anna's it is. My office mates end up picking my teas.

Several of us like Coke Zero.

Coke Zero #4 just now.

Ti punch. Then Bordeaux in a 3 liter brick. Not bad, we are considering it for taking a few bricks, boxes, whatever, home.

I count on my morning swim to get rid of these noxious alcoholic toxins.

Oh man, something major just happened at Pukkelpop (one of the big Belgian festivals). Some buildings collapsed (on top op people taking shelter there) because of a thunderstorm, at least 3 people dead and 60 people injured. 'Second Guy' is there right now, my heart nearly stopped when I heard the news. Luckily he's fine. Shaken up and cold, but fine ... I think I won't be able to sleep the next couple of hours ...

Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
Gonna grab some afternoon delight
My motto's always been; when it's right, it's right
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day
And we know the night is always gonna be there any way

Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
and the thought of rubbin' you is getting so exciting

Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

Good morning, everyone. Early wake up today. Felicity's choice, not mine. A mug of East India Company's 'Royal Breakfast" tea to get me going. Too early to eat though...

I don't know... I've never tried. Good question, and base for experiment though if you happen to have both on hand.

The combination of buttons, zippers, and carbonated sweetened water? How could it be bad?

It's NOT right. Drink tea. We tolerate pdurrant's aberrant behavior only because he doesn't know any better. We expect much more from you.

There just may be several reasons why it is called 'Zero...'

There is a value in having spares... Only kidding...

The emotions you are expressing speak loudly of your feelings towards #2. Would they be a strong if #1 had been at the festival? Nothing like a crisis to crystallize one's thinking.

I guess I'm ready to eat now... and have a second mug of tea. Confusion sets in trying to figure out WHAT to eat...

Welcome to the thread. Just ignore Stitchawl's reply, he was only teasing us non-tea-drinkers

No bananas in any smoothie, or just no bananas in this particular smoothie?

I hated bananas when I was small. That was to compensate to my dad's liking for this fruit: he eats from 3 to 5 bananas a day. I saw him eat 3 big bananas after lunch.

My toleration is higher now, but still limited to eating bananas as they are.

Morning, Stitchawl.

I am about to go to sleep. I shouldn't have slept today during the day, now I am not tired in the evening

LOL all over the state, Ivy. I was born in Irving (near Dallas), raised in Stinnett (in the Panhandle, north of Amarillo), and spent the last ten or so years before moving here in Cisco (which is between Ft. Worth and Abilene).
I've been to SA once and found it a gorgeous city.

All together I don't like them in smoothies. But on their own they're fine.

I know ... I don't know how I would have felt if it was #1 at the festival. But the first thing I thought when I heard the news was: 'please, please, please let him be alright'. And he sent me a text message saying he was ok pretty much right after it happened, so I guess he has been thinking about me too

The festival has been canceled (6 dead and still lots of injured in critical condition), which is the only logical decision the organisation could make when you really think about it. We still haven't heard from my sister's friend ...

In my cup: double cappuccino.

Nice when that happens, isn't it.

We'll keep our prayers going a bit longer.

Still drinking that good iced tea... Still hot and still humid. I'm ready for some cooler weather.
