Also, some versions of RCS appear to be "bubblegum-flavored".

right again.

even better - brown cream soda (although maybe this isnt in USA?)

RR, im interested to hear your opinion of dr pepper because to me that tastes like cough syrup too

it makes me think of drinking cotton candy.

thing to try you may have difficulty finding in ca: CHEERWINE.

RR, since you're in the Bay Area, you should try one of our local 'delicacies', the famous and delicious "It's It'

I had a mint or coffee It's It almost every day during high school.

what is that glorious-looking thing

Ice cream between two oatmeal cookies covered in chocolate. (The oatmeal makes it good for you, btw.)

Wait, why is Google on the it's-it? Did GOOG consume so much that they had to buy the company?

no wai!

Whatever's in that can, it's not going to be good.

i am cringing at the thought of what that tastes like. for some reason i'm imagining salty plum-ish beverage.

Spoken as someone who has tried asian snack foods.

i am sure it's much more mountain dew-ish, though.

I think that's just actual Cheetos packed in a drink can - the net weight is 1 1/2 oz. Liquid Cheetos drink would be urgh-bleh-ptttth.

Ah, It's-It -- such a wonderful creation.

michael, where do i get one of those it's-it things from???? someone actually mentioned those to me on the bukowski board i post on, but they just said it was an icecream sandwich (which we have in nz). but that thing looks amazing!!!

sunny: if dr pepper tastes like cough syrup i'm sure as hell not gonna like it.

also: not a big fan of cream soda

Is that was FNM's Epic was about??

Can you feel it, see it, hear it today?
If you cant, then it doesnt matter anyway
You will never understand it cuz it happens too fast
And it feels so good, its like walking on glass
Its so cool, its so hip, its alright
Its so groovy, its outta sight
You can touch it, smell it, taste it so sweet
But it makes no difference cuz it knocks you off your feet
You want it all but you cant have it
Its cryin, bleedin, lying on the floor
So you lay down on it and you do it some more
Youve got to share it, so you dare it
Then you bare it and you tear it
You want it all but you cant have it
Its in your face but you cant grab it
Its alive, afraid, a lie, a sin
Its magic, its tragic, its a loss, its a win
Its dark, its moist, its a bitter pain
Its sad it happened and its a shame
You want it all but you cant have it
Its in your face but you cant grab it
What is it?
Its it

I would totally make John and FB drink a drink based off of a Cheetos beverage.

Well of course you would.

omg that It's It thing. WANT

if i move to mpls some day, i will ensure that this happens

Cheetotini:

1.5 oz Cheetos brand cheez puffs (baked or fried)
2 oz vodka

Soak Cheetos in vodka for 10 minutes. Whiz with immersion blender until not totally chunky. Shake w/ ice until frosty. Strain into martini glass; garnish w/ pickled onion and 1 whole Cheeto, floated on the top.

That's probably not enough vodka, better go for 4 or 5 oz.

^^^^ I am down with this recipe except for the straining. Also for purposes of being evil I would probably use tequila.

needs a dash of tabasco. or 4.

RR, I don't about the East Bay, but in SF/Peninsula/Marin they're pretty ubiquitous; from liquor stores to supermarkets.

SARA SARA SARA

i went to a see's candy store in sf on saturday and had a SCOTCHMALLOW BAR and it was delicious! do you have them in your town or should i buy some and send them to you?

also: ghiradeli (or however the hell you spell it) chocolate is awesome.

omg the SCOTCHMALLOW chocolates are my favorite. SOOOOOOO glad you had one!

We are See's-less here, sadly (although they come to the malls in December), but you shouldn't try to send chocolate in the summer. Trust me; it just gets ugly. I will just be envious for the time being! And then when it gets colder I will send something to *you*!

Also, I often eat Ghiradelli chocolate because I can buy it at Target. It's not the perfect chocolate, but it's a hell of a lot better than Hershey's. (Confession: I do eat a lot of those Hershey's things, too. If it says "chocolate" on it, I'm probably eating it...)

If it says "chocolate" on it, I'm probably eating it...

nah, too easy

ohhhh i adore hershey's!!

and btw.... there new zealish lolly count is getting low... BLAME JORDAN, NOT ME!! we are going to buy bags tonight and then post them tomorrow, but there's not too much left, and i'm gonna have to chop the perky nanas up so you only get a piece each instead of a whole bar :( sorry guys :(

BUT i found a store in sf that sells nz lollies/choc bars!!

ghiradeli (yah how do u spell that?) mint is the real deal

xp Dan, your restraint is remarkable.

Ghirardelli chocolate is indeed goodness. But Schaffen Berger is right there. Do not ignore it.

mmmmm Schaffen Berger...

and i also have some of those lollipop things from see's - i'm sucking on a butterscotch one right now and it is DIVINE.

Mmmmm those are rather good, too!

I'm getting a cavity filled on Wednesday again, so probably I should avoid lollipops in the future. ;_;

oooh, but my dental hygienist told me that something in dark chocolate protects against cavities. I love to hear that.

If you can find one in SF then you should try a Cuban Sandwich. One of the world's great sandwiches. I am salivating now about my return to the states and a greasy cuban sandwich.

nom nom. i think i need to take a trip to chi just to try a jibarito!

If you can find one in SF then you should try a Cuban Sandwich.

cuban sandwich is proof that god exists and that he loves us

I have no idea what a Cuban sandwich is, but if it makes John offer it as proof of GOD, maybe I should find out.

Yeah, the Cuban. SO TASTY

Sara, the cuban is roasted pork and cheese and sometimes salami and other goodies, on cuban bread (kinda like french bread).

Manny's Tortas in Minneapolis has an OK Cuban. Victor's (also in Minneapolis) has an authoritative and delectable Cuban, which is to be expected.

key to the goodness is the inclusion of pickle and mustard

Basically a ham and cheese, but with hot gangsters and sexy communists warring in the hills and streets of your mouth for control of your enamored and swooning taste-buds.
