Innocuous things that make you irrationally embarrassed

aw

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.

Do you lick the lid?

I'm not a lid licker.

Eyeball Kicks wants to know if you're a lid-licker

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.

the tube of a champion

though really it would've been better if they were champion tubs

wow that is so gross! i don't like food that is squeezed into the mouth.

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

you mean Champions

gogurt is one of the grossest snacks i have ever watched a child consume

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

Like this for example, goddamn:

but expensive and only available at ultra-bougie stores. OTOH if I go a little out of my way the Israeli grocery has a lot of options.

I open this thread for the first time in like a year and you guys are still talking about yoghurt. Have you been talking about yoghurt this whole time?

those yogurt tubes, so much cringing

you're still putting the yogurt in your mouth, right? why do you need a tube, it is a mystery

kids like tubes

I guess today's kids, once they are adults, might still like tubed food

In the Year 2025, if man and woman are still alive...

To every food
tube tube tube

Give me convenience or give me death.

I'm IE at the idea that knee-high black socks is an acceptable look in gym/workout clothes.

Are they compression socks?

fucking totally, so much sugar in that crap, marketed as a health food. whole milk plain yogurt is delicious and surprisingly hard to find. i scoured the entire yogurt section and everything is super sugary lowfat or nonfat yogurt. also the single-serving containers are fucking ripoff, like a $1.20 for 6 or 8 oz of yogurt.

stonyfield organics makes a pretty good whole milk, full fat, unsweetened yogurt, they sell them for like $2.50 or $3 for a large container, it's a good deal. whole foods 365 brand is even cheaper. you don't have to spend a lot.

I still like these quite a bit. I still miss their horribly-picked original name for their yogurt line: "Cultural Revolution"

Jeff, I don't think so! Just young people wearing tall dark socks I associate with old men with metal detectors on the beach in Florida.

if it's long black socks on a man wearing shorts I think about this old man who used to jog along a local street in short shorts and dress socks

I got some nice dri-fit black socks that are long, but I mostly wear them with correspondingly long workout pants

i've seen men in shorts and black socks who looked pretty cute, but i think they would have looked cute regardless (sort of like the cute girl with a bad haircut is still cute)

i'm never talking about yogurt again if i can help it
it's too embarrassing

stonyfield is not bad but I prefer more tart. I will say Costco in my area sells this "indian style" yogurt (although I can't tell what's particularly indian style other than being marketed probably to local indian communities) that's plain, full-fat, and like $4 for the biggest tub I have ever seen.

You mean the biggest tube, right?

I get enormous 5 pound containers of plain yogurt from the Indian store around the corner, probably $4.99, don't remember exactly.

Tubes of yog are weird but what gets me is "Chobani CHAMPIONS TUBES"

But I drained at least two and a half boxes of those tubes without shame b/c they were easy on my flayed and cauterized throat scabs.

Trader joe's European style yoghurt is pretty good and not at all sweet. It tastes like yoghurt should in my book.

Yes, that was actually our go-to brand when we did more shopping at Trader Joes, we just never make it there now.

damn it, Je55e, I thought I'd removed that picture of your throat scabs from my memory but it just came back

Yeah me too. I don't think I'll ever forget it. Looked like a rotten stuffed olive!

The throat olive of a CHAMPION.

adams olive

now I'm embarrassed all over again

I won't post a picture, but I am taking requests for emailed pics of my scabby goozle.

nah, I'll stick with the one where you're mugging next to a raccoon

I only posted that b/c I wanted to say "scabby goozle."

oh, we know

people proselytizing on street corners/public places make me irrationally embarrassed — not for myself but for them — in some a sympathetic "stop drawing so much attention to yourself!" kind of way. i'm not sure if it's totally innocuous.

some

ppl begging celebrities/enormous corporations/really anyone to follow them on social media

group sing-alongs - mostly stuff like happy birthday etc in smaller groups. but also hymns, fight songs, etc.

just purchased passion-fruit chobani at the grocery store, but i don't think i'm ready to eat it yet

haaaaaaaa

it is so delicious, that's the worst part
lately i have been buying the big containers of plain yog and adding my own flavors and it's turning out pretty well. rose petal jam + lemon curd was way better than any commercially purchased yogurt INCLUDING passion fruit chobani

god even writing that sentence i felt embarrassed (ashamed more like) for myself
enjoy your yogurt
