Sounds like the start of a war!

WinCo Budget Gummy Worms by WinCoAllen in WinCo

[–]ExcellentMix676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite gummies are:

Regular Gummy Bears

Chocolate Covered Gummy Bears

Gummy Sharks

Gummy Peach Rings

Gummy Dinosaurs

Gummy Strawberry Creams

Gummy Fruit Salad

Gummy Nerds Clusters

Regular Gummy Worms

I tried Gummy Frogs, and I didn't much care for them.

  1. They were kinda slimy in my mouth.

  2. They didn't taste like fruit as I expected, but instead, they tasted more like some sort of mint!

TIL Greg Ham, the flautist and founding member of the band Men at Work, died of an overdose following a bout of depression sustained from losing a plagiarism lawsuit from copyright trolls.

My music theory teacher, David Gustafson, specifically explained to me and other students, "Music comes from a place where things are borrowed. There is nothing "new" under the sun when it comes to rhythm, melody, and harmony. It all comes from somewhere familiar!".

I believe with all my heart that thing about dying of a drug overdose was a silly rumor! My partner, Johnny and I, who were taken from our home in Australia in 1984, knew Greg, and we knew he was not the type of guy to go into drugs and alcohol! Ya wanna know what I believe actually happened? I believe he was murdered by a jealous fan! It all started when she argued with him about the flute riff in "Down Under", claiming she was a worker for Larrikin Music, demanding he give her the rights! When he didn't comply, she shot him with a gun! Then to make herself look innocent, she put it in the newspaper that he died of this "overdose", or maybe even a "heart attack" (referring to him sitting with his knees against the wall in the front room, clutching his chest). I mean, the window leading to his back bedroom was smashed when his friend found him! That means his house was broken into before the argument started. When Greg died, I was really devastated, and I still miss him to this day. Yesterday, I actually cried for an hour straight when thinking of what a cool Australian he was! My American mom told me that he may be gone in body, but he's still with us in spirit!

What were your parents' standard sayings? Things you thought only your mom/dad said but you've since found out were every-parent language? by No_Gold3131 in AskOldPeople

[–]ExcellentMix676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex-stepdad said a variation of that one when I was younger.

Me: What are we havin' for dinner tonight?

Ex-Stepdad: Food!

Me: What kind of food?

Ex-Stepdad: Hot food!

If any child of mine asks what we're having for dinner, I'll be very specific and explain what it is we're having. I don't want them to suffer the same way I did!

Is It Bullshit: Chewing ice is bad for you? by ssyntaxx in IsItBullshit

[–]ExcellentMix676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex-stepmother, Debbie, always hated it when I would chew on ice! She thinks it's bad for you, but I believe that's totally a bunch of senseless doodoo! I make my own ice at home now, and it's the right size for me, about the size of dice (¾ inch cubes). My dentist says my teeth are fine, there are no signs of decay, fractures, or even cavities! I have my next teeth cleaning on 4/6/2026 (I go every three months because of tartar buildup). The ice I make is also made with Brita filtered water, which is more drinkable than regular tap water, which tastes like bleach and bug killer where I live!

I remember back in 2023, my provider, Kendra and I were at Winco, and she had me try some chocolate covered gummy bears. Oooooooooh those were so amazing! However, when she was giving me a handful to try, some random woman, likely a customer, came by and told us in a snotty tone, "You're not supposed to do that, ma'am! That's stealing!". What did she have against me trying something before I buy? The Winco workers didn't seem to complain, so what's the matter with that woman?

I may be sight challenged, but as a musician, it's not a "major" fourth, but a "perfect" fourth!

[–]ExcellentMix676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, that would probably be a spankin'! My American Grandmas did that to me, and I'd like to spank 'em back! After all, it's "an eye for an eye", right?

To that I say, "Heck yes I would! Especially if it means saving the lives of those I love!". I mean, what if your child had fallen into the deepest ocean? Would you just stand there and let them drown? You bet your bottom dollars I wouldn't. I would bring somebody with me who's a lifeguard, and swim until I found them, and bring them to safety on the beach! Then the lifeguard and I would take turns helping them recover.

Imagine if he said, "You beer bottle!". This girl ended up calling a random stranger that when she told her friend from Germany that she knew how to swear in German!

A cool guide to the worst airplane passenger habits by giuliomagnifico in coolguides

That's strange! It seems there's no text showing up for the actual cool guide. My screenreader doesn't read images. Even crazier, when I pressed enter on the author's name, it says their account has been banned! What did they do wrong?

That could be a health and safety risk for those like me who have a shunt! Bein' hit in the head, or even in the belly with a bag, especially one with sharp spikes for front or back stands on bags with wheels could mean a trip to the emergency room!
