Not even a staff-created thread about the workings of our digital playground is free from the opinions about beverages.

I better be chewing my orange juice, god damnit

I said I was thirsty, not hungry

I drink pulpless orange juice because it is good and I am not a clown

jgeis

Drink all orange juice because all orange juice is delicious.

jgeis

But people that pronounce orange juice as "oranjuice" are the worst.

I got an orange Julius recipe from the internet last year and let me tell you that shit is amazing.

We never had Orange julius things around these parts.

so I've never had one.

Inquisitor

I drink water, milk and coffee. Sometimes all at once!

There's such a thing as a tea store?

Teavana is an (overpriced) example of a tea store.

They are pretty excellent. You should double check that there aren't any Dairy Queens in your area that carry them. They merged a while ago and now many DQs carry Orange Julius stuff.

Ms chills has been getting way into tea

It still tastes bad but strawberry basil tea at least smells good

My fiancee feels the same way about coffee. Loves the smell, doesn't like the taste.

Which is just fine with me because our house really smells like coffee for the entire morning.

I don't understand.


You all don't just drink coffee straight until it's an appropriate time to just switch to beer?

As far as I know we don't have any dairy Queen places in town either anymore.

Who came up with Social Devastation ++ and what were the odds and qualifiers for the bets? Who made the most money?

ceres

My favorite tea is this Chinese rose milk tea I got a million years ago and then never found again.

Sadface.

Other than that, usually a really nice jasmine green tea can never be wrong.

I got infracted on a H&A advice thread about tea where I pointed out that Earl Gray tastes like stagnant dirty dishwater.

I stand by this assertion but I realise that my presentation of this fact was not made in an appropriate way for H&A.

I don't remember this but it could reasonably have been for insulting the noblest of teas.

Egregiously bad advice had always been actionable.

This is why I try not to give much advice in H/A, my advice is usually pretty terrible!

(Add two scoops of vanilla ice cream for every six ounces of frozen concentrate to make it even better)

Cambiata

Harney and Sons makes a white tea I'm addicted to called White Christmas. Very mild with a hint of vanilla.

lonelyahava

Harney and Sons make this absolutel amazing cinnamon tea. It smells divine and actually tastes even better. I think it's called Cinnamon sunset.

Centipede Damascus

I like a good green tea with some honey and a bit of cream

Inquisitor

I'm a big fan of genmaicha, it's green tea mixed with roasted brown rice. It has a super mellow flavor.

Teavana charges $13 for 2 ounces of it, despite the fact that it originated as tea for poor people because it's tea cut with rice. Teavana is the worst.

I never developed a taste for green tea or oolong tea either. They both kind taste like grass to me. I can't drink either now since I'm on coumadin but still

Hacksaw

Tube (or Icy, if that's who made the call), what is the basis for the size limits of gifs? Do you plan on increasing the non-hotlinked limits in the future?

Sterica

I think mobile browsing is the reason now.

Sterica

But for me, I just think it's good policy to prevent walls of gifs.

Especially in an age where people have to express themselves with like twelves gifs of a captioned movie scene.

Tube

We're not going to be increasing the limit any time soon.

Delmain

Icy was talking about working on gifv, so when he gets that working would we still get 500kb worth of gifv to play with or are you thinking you'll tone it down?

God yes, they are wonderful. They are all over the place in tea-drinking countries, but you can also find them in upscale urban areas in the states.

Just not in Alabama, where I live, because to people here "upscale" is a newish Walmart.

Yorkshire Tea is a very nice tea. It's not going to change your mind if you don't already like black tea, but it's an ever so slightly more... citrusy?/honeyish? English Breakfast Tea.

Oh definitely trying this now. What kind of tea do you use?

Any Irish breakfast tea that happens to be laying around along with honey sweetened almond milk

I love Green Tea but I go through phases where it gives me blinding headaches so I tend to leave it alone.

Peter Ebel

I like a good tea, especially with to go with desert, but coffee is what I am about. It's the best. Home roasted black coffee is like summoning a pleasure deamon to do your bidding with very little actual effort on your part.

Also, am I weird for liking earl grey? Guess I'll add it to my long list of idiosyncratic personal deficiencies.

tynic

Iced tea in a desert is a good move, that's true.
