    You'd think it'd at least taste like caffeine free pepsi, which is pretty decent.

    Caffeine free pepsi was my favorite kind as a kid. I always though it tasted a little different.

    Do they even still make caffeine free pepsi anymore?

    Caffeine is bitter, I dunno if there enough in soda to matter, so its possible.

    There is. I'm just... completely guessing here pretty much, but since many colas originated as patent medicines featuring coca leaf extract*, they probably had sugar added to them to make them taste less bitter. So removing the caffeine tends to make them sweeter.

    *: Fun fact: Coca-Cola is the only company legally able to imported to import coca leaves into the United States, since coca leaves are the raw precursors to cocaine. Any traces of cocaine are removed during processing.

    ...

    To where?

    Goddammit, my grocery store has Snyder's of Hanover pretzel bites on sale.

    I'm basically required to buy them when this happens. They are delicious.

    I loved mixing the buttermilk ranch and honey mustard versions together. Granted, one is pretzel bits and the other is pieces, but its still damn tasty.

    I haven't tried those, but I love the buffalo wing Snyder's pretzel bites.

    This alligator is fucking incredible

    And they've got a house made cream gravy with it that is suuuuper good

    This place is gonna be a favorite of mine

    I'm not crazy about plain alligator meat, but I used to frequent a little place in Metairie, LA that served an alligator sausage appetizer with a dipping sauce. Deee-licious!

    Also Crystal Pepsi was okay.

    I have an empty bottle I kept around here somewhere.

    I actually liked Crystal Pepsi.

    It also made for a great joke in the dub of FLCL (about how a little store gets so few customers, they're still working through a back order of the stuff).

    the FLCL dub has a lot of fantastic lines like that to replace obscure Japanese jokes

    and Nando's is actually a pretty reasonable price in the States! which is why the one I go to at the MAGFest/Katsucon venue is so nice, given other sit-down restaurants there are terrifyingly pricey

    Finally got around to stopping by the Korean food truck, which is the only Korean food in town now that it exists, and is conveniently next to the student radio station I do a weekly show at.

    $6 for a healthy amount of BBQ pork, salad, kimchi, and a fried egg on top of a heap of rice? Fuck. Yes.

    I feel like I'm going to this place at least once a week when I get back.

    I'm kinda afraid to ask. But how is Korean BBQ pork different from American BBQ pork?

    Korean BBQ Pork is thin strips of fatty pork enveloped in a delicious spice mix. It is delicious.

    Also, American pork BBQ is mostly pulled meat, whereas Korean is mostly sliced

    It's almost like a saucy pile of bacon, except less fatty and from different cuts of meat

    Or like a cheesesteak, minus the cheese, plus Korean spices, and with much better meat

    See, I love some bad food, but every time I've had Pizza Hut in my adult life, it's just tasted like cardboard

    I'd rather eat Little Caesar's

    Also get cinna stix, then forget you got cinna stix, and then accidentally dip one in the marinara because you thought it was a bread stick, then get a terrible surprise.

    Pizza Hut's frozen stuff is just shit.

    I just can't deal with them anymore.

    I miss Pizza Inn. They did stuffed crust pizza with fresh dough and rolled it in manually. So much better.

    The only time Pizza Hut doesn't taste like cardboard is when it tastes like an oil soaked sponge. I'd eat freezer burnt freezer pizza before Pizza Hut. Blech

    Pizza Hut's thin crust is mildly acceptable to me, but that's the extent of it.

    I'm ok with Pizza Hut thick crust pepperoni, tbh. Not my first choice for pizza but probably my first choice for a cheese-laden oil-soaked calorie bomb.

    Dominos is horrible and I haven't eaten at any other American chains.

    I don't like pizza chains because I bet there are some huts out there that could turn out some really good pizza, but they aren't allowed. Gotta follow the established recipes

    I don't like Pizza Hut except for their stuffed crust.

    aside from the stuffed bits, the whole thing tastes different than their regular pizzas to me. i don't know why.

    I don't even like stuffed crust as a concept.

    My main issue with Pizza Hut is that everything they sell as far as pizza products is either extremely unremarkable compared to their competition or made from frozen dough and therefore crap.
