i like all kinds of mundane corporate crap, the knowledge that i'm now flooding my friends' facebook feeds w/ stuff like 'james likes stouffer's *huge ad for stouffers party size macaroni and cheese*' only encourages it tbh.

Coupons or offers contingent on sharing something on social media annoy me. I would love a 20% off coupon, but must I share your restaurant on twitter or Facebook to get it?
― mh, Thursday, 19 December 2013 13:38 (ten years ago) link
You could always set up a fake account to scoop up such offers.
― Eyeball Kicks, Thursday, 19 December 2013 13:46 (ten years ago) link
then they send you a bunch of fake coupons OH SNAP.

i found a new kind of passion fruit yogurt so i don't need to buy chobani unless i am in a passion fruit yogurt emergency.
now you know!

do you still call it "chobani time?"

Hahaha. Is there a special song for Chobani Time?
― Orson Wellies (in orbit), Wednesday, 15 January 2014 22:44 (ten years ago) link
god, no! it's just an alarm that goes off in my head when i feel the shame of eating chobani brand yogurt, like an air raid siren.
― mambo jumbo (La Lechera), Wednesday, 15 January 2014 22:44 (ten years ago) link
THinking of passion fruit I just made a bread with pineapple & passion fruit juice not from concentrate as the liquid element. Wondering if I'm making things too sweet but just come across this new non-concentrate juice in ALDI this week. May be in there all the time but I'm not so it's new to me.
― Stevolende, Wednesday, 15 January 2014 22:50 (ten years ago) link
a by-product of this thread is that i now cannot pass by the chobani section of the supermarket without thinking fondly of la lechera.

Yogurt itself is actually a thing that makes me kind of irrationally embarrassed, come to think of it. I like it but never eat it in public. Maybe it's that "not manly" connotation.

I eat yogurt every morning at my desk at work. My manager dropped by my desk one day when I was eating coconut Chobani, and I got the distinct feeling he wasn't comfortable with the whole situation and was silently judging me. Maybe I'm just paranoid...
― Ornate Coleman (Moodles), Thursday, 16 January 2014 00:32 (ten years ago) link
Of course, this is the same manager who informed that most men would be uncomfortable driving a mazda because they aren't manly cars. I guess my parents or whoever just forgot to give me any manliness advice when I was growing up, so I tend to make these social faux pas without really caring too much.
― Ornate Coleman (Moodles), Thursday, 16 January 2014 00:35 (ten years ago) link
I think he's thinking of the Miata, which gets some guff as a girly little car, but it's actually a traditionally-styled casual sports car, unlike the overcompensating muscle cars of late americana

mazda 3 pretty sweet imo

Pretty sure he meant mazdas, which struck me as strange as that's a particular brand I'd never heard mentioned in a gendered context

― mookieproof, Thursday, 16 January 2014 00:58 (ten years ago) link
For sure.
Anyway, the lesson I've learned from all this is that I'm not particularly embarrassed to engage in unmanly activities, but I get extremely embarrassed to have to discuss such a topic. Embarrassed for the person who'd bring it up, that is.

last time i offered some wry commentary on that username, it related to breast-feeding.
so I feel like I'm pulling toward the right direction, at least.

I make fancy pour-over coffee in my office that I bring in, along with one other dude. I still always feel absurdly embarrassed whenever I explain it to anyone, and I definitely get funny looks from older guys in the office.

1. There's been a Chobani (blueberry) in my work fridge for a week or so. I'm pretty sure it belongs to the laid-back dad-dude sports fan partner. I've only ever seen him consume Diet Coke and yogurt, but the Chobani is a new development.
2. On some thread LL said something along the lines of "I've had a stressful day and I need some Chobani time" and it made me snortol and want to give her a hug.

Carl and I were on the train on the way to a Star Trek convention, we were sitting behind this guy eating yogurt. After finishing he proceeded to lick the cup to get the last remnants of yogurt out.
I eat yogurt all the time at my desk at work. No shame. But I don't like the cup.

LL, were you aware of Chobani Champion Tubes?

I bought a lot of them before my tonsillectomy and they keep popping up, e.g. I found one today in the fridge at work.

wow that is so gross! i don't like food that is squeezed into the mouth.
― mambo jumbo (La Lechera), Wednesday, 22 January 2014 19:36 (ten years ago) link
to be fair, they aren't the first company to market squeezable yogurt tubes by a long shot, although the ones I've seen are mostly marketed to children
― Evil Juice Box Man (Moodles), Wednesday, 22 January 2014 19:50 (ten years ago) link
you mean Champions
gogurt is one of the grossest snacks i have ever watched a child consume
― mambo jumbo (La Lechera), Wednesday, 22 January 2014 19:51 (ten years ago) link
like technicolor mayonnaise
Having learned to enjoy good plain yogurt, actually, I find the prevalance of super-sweet yogurts and the difficulty of finding good unsweetened yogurt to be really sad for America
