four weeks pass...

i have a jar of coffee and a jar of sugar at work. am wondering whether i should just have a jar of (coffee and sugar) pre-mixed in the correct proportion (1:1 in my case, but it would work for other ratios). would save me literally seconds twice a day.

beaten to it:

https://www.cafecoffeeday.com/shop/buy/coffee-powders/coffee-premix/trist-coffee-premix-pack-of-2

> This mix contains coffee, milk solids & sugar. Just add hot water and enjoy.

(for some value of enjoy)

(last time i was in the big supermarket i noticed they were selling individual portions of (non-)milk in tiny tetrapacs. nearly bought some for the cuteness factor (except it worked out at about £13 a pint))

koogs, Friday, 25 August 2017 10:35 (six years ago) link

holy crap koogs, that's a lot of sugar!

granted, i take my coffee black, which would probably seem pretty gross to you

Karl Malone, Friday, 25 August 2017 15:05 (six years ago) link

Uh? That's only 1 sugar per cup. My last team lead would put 4 in...

(instant coffee this is)

koogs, Friday, 25 August 2017 18:57 (six years ago) link

That's what I was assuming, although I'm interested to see what a 1:1 blend of grounds and sugar poured into a coffee filter would produce. Diabetes, most likely.

I'm guessing we are still at odds over the definition of instant coffee...

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 30 August 2017 05:30 (six years ago) link

pplains, Wednesday, 30 August 2017 13:09 (six years ago) link

"My Cousin Vin Diesel, is that the new Vin Diesel movie?"
"No, it stars The Rock. You're thinking of the new remake of The Rock"

"But the movie is literally titled "The Rock Starring The Rock, are you sure?"

lol

A restaurant that's both kosher and halal, called "A Two-Steak Solution."

Toblerroneous (Ye Mad Puffin), Friday, 1 September 2017 02:36 (six years ago) link

not to take anything away from yr terrible idea but technically every kosher restaurant is also halal

Mordy, Friday, 1 September 2017 03:12 (six years ago) link

You're right, the only viable solution is a single, binational steak.

maybe they sit you at your table and take your order. but then they make you move tables before service. another party sits at the original table and orders food. the food for both parties is delivered to the original table, so everybody eats at that table, and it's no big deal because this post is also a terrible idea.

A laptop bag with 'STEAL ME I CONTAIN A LAPTOP' printed on the front in big letters, because laptop bags are usually so obviously laptop bags.

A t-shirt that says 'SCRUB'. Maybe with an arrow pointing upwards, for the sake of clarification.

A trend where all 80s hit songs are re-released with the normal version on the A-side, and a 'mopey' version on the other which is exactly the same but sung all tired and depressed-sounding and forgetting a lot of the words

Shat Parp (dog latin), Friday, 8 September 2017 12:31 (six years ago) link

I want to start a restaurant for the people who are rude to serving staff. The food will be expensive yet mediocre (and possibly gives you food poisoning) and the waiters will be either insulting or inattentive. The restaurant will be called "Serves You Right"

a cookbook written in a timid, apologetic tone titled You Could Cook These, If It's Not Too Annoying: I Mean, If You're Not Busy. Nevermind. I'm Sorry. Just Forget I Said Anything.

"2 Tbsp fresh thyme. Or one. Or I mean, whatever you can use dried, sorry, I didn't mean to assume you just like keep fresh herbs around, like you have an herb garden or something. But maybe pick some up, if you have "thyme" (haha...sorry, that was a really dumb joke)."

a Soul II Soul tribute band called Soul II Soul II

boxedjoy, Sunday, 17 September 2017 18:52 (six years ago) link

Haha love that one

The Marmadook (latebloomer), Sunday, 17 September 2017 21:55 (six years ago) link

then when they did gigs you would say "I'm going II Soul II Soul II"

if you took a friend you would say "they're going II Soul II Soul II II"
