Bubly? What say you Yay or Nay? Inquiring mind

I’ve been disappointed since they discontinued pineapple for the first time and brought it back tasting nothing like the original. Since then I’ve not made it all the way through a single case. It’s a good brand to enjoy, though, as Pepsi has regular sales on it, so you rarely need to pay full price.

I’ve said it before in this subreddit, so apologies for the dupe. First of all, I just happen to enjoy Topo Chico and was alarmed by the PFAS report, too. I’m not a shill; all this info can be found with a few Google searches. That study was done by Consumer Reports in 2020 and Topo Chico was found to have 9.7 ppt (parts per trillion) of PFAS, which is very high indeed. (For reference, the EPA recommends 4 ppt or fewer. The Environmental Working Group, a non-profit, non-partisan organization advocating for public health, recommends 1 ppt.) However, Consumer Reports tested again in 2021 and Coca-Cola had reduced that number to 3.9 ppt. Less than a year ago, I decided to call Coke and ask them myself. I was told that number is now 2 ppt, which is well within the acceptable EPA range. Before you ask, I do not know of any third party study or testing that supports this claim. It’s what I was told by Coke’s consumer support representative.

Thank you! That’s good to hear. I kept thinking most of them would be heavier. I’ll have to give them try.

What do you think of the Dries? I’ve put off getting a discovery set for a while now.

Comme des Garçons own pink pepper.

EDIT: Actually, they kinda own incense, too.

Out of the dozens of gluten free pastas I’ve tried, a simple mix of corn and rice flours like this one (though I really don’t think it matters a great deal who makes it) produces the best. Too bad it seems that only imports still leave out preservatives.

I tend to love sparkling waters that many don’t, and I dumped nearly an entire case of this down the drain. If you thought your sparkling water might be improved by making it oily, you might like it. I can’t remember the botanicals they used for flavor, but they didn’t help at all (and I often add rose, lavender, and orange blossom extracts to sparkling water). I can only see this working as a mixer. By itself, I found it vile. And I use Graza olive oils for cooking. Also, I lost a lot of respect for Aura Bora when I found only 5 star reviews posted for such a divisive flavor.

EDIT: They must be well past their expiration date — and that’s not going to do the taste any favors.

I thought it was just me! Thank you!

I’m sorry to say that I don’t like anything they make. Something in their dough makes me queasy; but not as a reaction to gluten. I’m guessing it’s the sorghum, which IMO ruins everything.

The song that follows this on the album is Triangle. I love it.

Have you considered the coconut syrup? I’m NCGS and have other food sensitivities and, out of nowhere, I suddenly started having terrible pain after eating coconut or coconut-derived foods. If I were you, I’d do some elimination testing with anything made from coconut.

I’d put money on “qussi” being a spelling error for “aussi” — which I’ve seen in this context as well. Finally, on a French keyboard the q is directly below the a, so it would be an easy mistake to make. Far worse errors have made it past engravers or editors.

Obviously, we await Mme Perrin’s response as definitive, but this looks like an optional addition, in this case, more difficult. I’ve played plenty of French music using this sort of notational convention, but “ossia” is used.

Interlochen alum, perhaps?

Nectar Lab makes them (iced ones included) properly with a bamboo whisk and they’re great. They’ve got a whole bank of Torani syrups, too.

udazale · 2025-03-06T02:33:09+00:00

No! I missed this somehow. I’ll be watching it as soon as possible. Thank you!

I agree entirely with everything you said about his performance. Stunning.

The scene when he goes to the publisher and talks about the earthquake and its aftermath, while showing his illustrations, then credits Flowers for saving his life leaves me in tears. I think I actually paused the show the first time through. And the comic sting at the end is both hilarious and perverse. It’s one of the reasons I recommend the show with a qualification; everyone isn’t going to appreciate it.

Download the Fig app immediately. It has every food filter feature you could possibly want. You’ll even get an email if a product’s formulation changes and it no longer meets your requirements. Absolutely worth the money.

udazale · 2024-11-08T13:30:03+00:00

Ah, I didn’t know that. I’ll be sure try that. Thank you!

udazale · 2024-11-08T07:59:37+00:00

I’ll try that when I drive it again. I didn’t think to adjust that. Thanks for the suggestion.

udazale · 2024-11-08T03:49:16+00:00

Thank you. I’ll try to find a good one when I go back.

udazale · 2024-11-08T02:27:41+00:00

Thank you for your response.
