The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

[Snarf Zagyg]

If I were a bad person I'd quote that back in a thread about science.

Scientists are the people that take the exciting questions you ask them and provide you with boring yet accurate answers.

Well, I didn't see that whole process unfolding any other way. Didn't quite expect to get drawn into that way, though.

I'm also still not convinced it wasn't a psy-op

I know (and enjoy!) Barqs quite well, and even the slogan "Barqs has bite".

But I still have no idea what was supposed to be happening in that particular ad

Maybe, but I'll bet that you remember that ad.

Adding on the caffeine discussion:

Has anyone else noticed diet drinks usually have more caffeine (around 10mg) than their regular counterparts? Companies say its for the bitter flavor - maybe to counteract the sweetness of artificial sugar?

Also, the amount of caffeine has slowly been rising (specifically in "spinoff" flavors). Pepsi One has as much caffeine as Mt. Dew for instance.

Finally, I think Bang, G-Fuel, and Reign are all 300mg caffeine per can!

I'm mostly concerned with the fact that no matter how many flavors get made in zero sugar, the only thing I'll ever be able to find at local retailers in diet coke.

But I'm struggling to understand how threatening people by private message was going to help anyone, or their argument, in any situation. Good grief.

The prefect mix of righteous anger and entitlement.

Pretty good example of what not to become while fighting "the good fight". That's how villains are born after all...

Caffeine is an appetite suppressant.

A man was running a taste test booth, thought he was being addressed by a woman, then realized that the voice was actually coming from an acquaintance who has a prosthetic leg, and had him do the taste test. Upon doing so, the acquaintance gave a reaction suggesting that he agreed that the Barq's did indeed have bite, and the taste tester was inordinately pleased by this.

Ah, the most religious of topics has reared its ugly head again - to fudge or not to fudge die rolls.

I never fudge die rolls - fudge is a terrible material to make dice out of... You roll them once and they end up all squished.
