There really isn't that much difference in taste. I Don 't drink diet. I need the calories, because I can't eat enough, because I have pancreas issues and chirross of the liver.
I was curious because I like trying new( that I have never had) soft drinks or soda pop, but not diet soft drinks. No calories, no good( to me)

Tab sucks, I remember back when I was real young in the late 1970's and early 1980's my mom would drink that shit, yuck.

Mountain dew used to be really cheap here, but soon after Joe Biden was elected soft drink prices increased 50% along with huge increase in food prices.

I only vaguely remember Tab, can't comment on how it tasted back in the day.


I still rue the day that McDonalds stopped serving root beer in the UK. That stuff is the tits.

Yeah, most are unless it's a diet version. I remember hearing that most soft drinks in the US use high fructose corn syrup instead of sugar because there's a government subsidiary or something? It does taste different, whether it's Coke Fanta Mountain Dew or whatever the American and European versions are totally different drinks.

Tizer is like, eh, Tizer. It tastes red! Ostensibly fruit flavoured but I don't really know.

I remember it sponsoring CDUK in the early 2000s and hated seeing the creepy guy having it poured into his head every Saturday morning. Fortunately they've long since changed the logo.

That one may be before my time but I was very much here for the great mountain dew renaissance. I got hooked on that stuff when I 16 visiting the states and had to wait years for it to be (re)released in the UK. There was 1 shop in my town which sold it for £1.20 a can (circa 2006 so expensive) and the label was always in Arabic 😅

Mountain Dew and root beer are 2 of my favorites, but I love cherry and cherry lime soda pop. I think those asswipes at Sunkist stop making cherry lime, my favorite and only about £1 for a 2 liter.

What is hash like? Also is smoked like weed from a bowl( Marijuana pipe, not a bong though)

Black Bombay, a gummy black substance you can make threads with and lace your joint, or pure. Is delicious from taste. Flowery.
Totally different then Super Polm, Morrocan Hasj with an also very typical taste imo less attractive taste, but very nice but different high.

Spoetnik, no clue what was in it. But despite the awful taste it indeed acted like a rocket outta space.

So everykind has its own characteristics, its a little harder to smoke then weed, but would be perfect for vaporizing.

Actually I can drive there in minutes. Detroit metro area has well over 4 million people and the worst public transportation system in the developed world. There is only a few busses that run limited hours to limited places.

This is the motor city🤣, or it was. Long history but basically the city council has been corrupt for decades if not a century or more and the suburbs are ok, but the city is dying and the suburbs are OK but stagnate.

I really wish we has good public transportation, but the short sightedness of the original civil engineers or whoever designed this to be a driving city. We had 1.8 million people in 1950's and this was one of the most prosperous in the country.

Now 700,000 or less, but the suburbs have taken the " black flight as it is called after the white and every other race also fled. This area is racial very diverse do to Henry Ford's generous pay. People from the middle east even came to this area. No racial issues like some might expect. At least not like the riots of the 60's that really began to destroy the city, even though it was in decline because of a corrupt city council and in turn lousy police.

the are is also poorly designed and much of Detroit is turning back to nature. If it were legal, you could hunt deer, where there were once houses.

The journey due to some of the things you describe. A rapid decline of our public transport system since its privatized.

So it took me 1 hour extra so 2 1/2 to get me some Wild Amnesia and Tropical Haze. :weedleaf: mmm

Missing a connection and a the next canceled. Could be worse, one reason not to travel in the weekend especially sunday.

I take the trains don't run like they do in Japan? I believe in small, limited government, but some things, like public transportation and utilities, should be state run.

Trains. No Busses is where its at, the last Tram, like a Train but smaller distance between the tracks.
That used to ride here, a bumpy ride! Their lines connected with each other via Ferry s, very nostalgic before my time.
During 2-nd WW damaged, repared 1940. But in '53, the big flood. Was the end of it, it was outdated as human started forming land connections, cars/ busses took over and bridges/ tunnels.
But no train within a 45 minute radius. And even then it goes so slow the first part, taking a bus is faster.

And as a stubborn hardhead that refused to get his driver licence and a car :rolleyes:. Which are basic needs if you live remote like this.
Not even a hospital. Rich people Rightwingers, Christians, a lot of tourists. The sole reason there is no dispensary around.
And then the minority of poor mostly heathens, refugees and a few like me.
Called tolerated imports, no matter if your stems do have some roots here.

These roots they just disgard, my fam that lived here were fishers, no agriculture types like most.
But when a ship was in need of help during a storm, they were also the designated rescue brigade, before the motor was developed!

When a boat was in trouble in the stormy sea, they took the lifeboat, propelled by peddles and went in, fearless?
But they saved lots of lives and lost some including some of my fam. They were hero's, which is nice to know.
And a bit anarchistic they seemed, which is not an unfamiliar charateristic.

But they were looked at with a scorn by the rest (farmers mostly, so a bit brainless simple kinda folks).

But my fam did get a very nice statue as honour, wich I only saw once. They took risks no farmer would.
So eventually I ll have to return for a more thorough look.

I'm guessing this is what we knew as 'Sputnik'?


Awesome stuff. I've never known redeye like it...

Indeed Sputnik, we have a way of giving a swing to a name sometimes. We also call Hasj(ish) Hash?

But any idea if its known to contain an other active substance, as me and a friend smoked it. Nodded away, not awake nor sleeping.
And after a unknown long time.

Zapp, we where back looking at each other what the heck, not a typical THC effect. Too which we had monster tolerances.
Its always been in the back of my head it was tainted with Opium, which doesn't make sense.
But so didnt the effects, whtatever was in it, it pinned down two hardheads with a single joint.

Bro, I hate too say it🥹 but I wonder what the deathtoll will be?
Click to expand...
That's not really a fun thing to joke or speculate about because it does kill people, mostly the elderly and people with dementia who can't react to overheating or ask for help.

Would love to keep this thread jovial so if we can draw the line at joking about death tolls I would appreciate it.

The reason hot weather causes so much trouble here is because it only happens for a few weeks a year and not every year so the infrastructure to deal with it just isn't there.

Okay sorry for the reality check back to banter.
 
At least they don't have gators or lots of venomous snakes; I mean the really nasty dangerous ones. Yes there are mildly venomous snakes but not like the ones here.

Then again Australia is literally slithering with death, so is Africa, India and Southeast Asia. They really realy have it bad. Ireland has no snakes.

It pisses me off that even though I am not Catholic; that I can't properly celebrate St. Patrick's day in the traditional matter; getting falling down drunk and pissing and puking in the the streets.

Ah the good old days( I can't believe I started drinking in the morning, even before I was legal to drink here in America) yea they sold me my first ak-47( variant) and legally, when I was 18 and at 19( while in college) I got stuck in the ' youthful offenders program' with a bunch of 16 and under delinquents( ok I was worse than most of them).

I know some would get there early and smoke weed in their cars in the parking lot before the class. lol. No drinking , just drugs. Lol

Ok, you misunderstood me I remember hearing about the of 2003 and the huge deathtoll in Europe.

I wasn't joking or making light of the deaths at all. I value, human life( most).

Also I like the Brits, they give Electrum 1, lots of opportunities to express his great sense of humor.

But the reality is that I really do value human life, and I am grateful to be in a developed country that has air conditioning widely available along with dentists and that has legalized tooth paste.

Hear hear there's so much to love about Australia but the flora and fauna out me off. That's one thing I do love about Britain there's only a handful of creepy crawlies that can actually do you any harm and most of them stay away from people.

I'd get a pet lizard if I lived in Oz. Few years ago I was staying in a hotel in Bali and I had a little green roommate chilling on the ceiling the whole time I was there and he kept my room bug free the entire trip. Might not help with the gators but at least I wouldn't have to worry about roaches 😅

I love those cute little lizards they have in Texas. I never really thought about a lizard keeping a hotel room bug free.
Great observation, bro😀
