^^ A specialised salt for margarita? I don’t drink margarita but isn’t it just regular salt used to rim the glass? Numpties who are born yesterday might buy this.

Is this the first CV-19 related beer? Read “*” as well.

No mask? Make your own!

Planning it yet?

Robot brings food to your table. This is a restaurant in Peking. What do servers do now?

I love Korea, now a little bit more. Meanwhile my taxman leaves me to my own devices and wants more money. (photo is sideway)

Servers in China do not expect nor receive gratuities anyway.

And…Tipping is not a city in China.

(Sorry)

Serving in restaurant is a profession. If they go in the direction of replacing servers with robots then these people will be out of work.

And the servers act like it is a profession and they can make or break your restaurant experience. I don’t know if think I would go to a restaurant where robots were the servers.

I’ve had a container in my pantry for many years, it is a thin flake salt.

Thanks!

What I like is when a bar or restaurant serves a Margarita in a well salted cocktail glass, and then puts a straw in it.

Just remove the middle tables or install plexiglass. Droplets fly around when people talk.

A new use for the long grip. It’s been close to everyone’s mouth, too.

Creepy generosity? Why are the 3 words in quotes?

The end of buffets

Sick of seeing you around all day, Karen!

Tee-hee… :innocent:

More Corona pics:

New Barbie set. Why so much junk food? Do people really eat a lot of junk food during lockdown? I drink more beer.

Going on a date soon?

Much better than using dolls or stuffed animals.

Time they installed this kind of things like they have in Japan. When I came home affter 6 weeks travelling in Japan I still held out my hands under the tap and soap dispenser. I got used to it in Japan.

I keep reading about this and certainly my grocery store continues to have the junk food pretty much wiped out. I only know because I have to walk through due to one-way aisles. We aren’t eating any more junk food. Pretty much what we always do. My wife might eat more chocolate. Part of our relationship is that I hide the chocolate and meter it out to her at a predetermined rate. grin I don’t eat it so it is safe with me.

We don’t eat junk food either, but I have to hide the chocolate from my husband, who tends to steal it after I go to bed.

Our “hiding” routine started after a yacht delivery on which a crew member ate about a pound and a half of chocolate in a single four hour watch. I told my wife I was going to start hiding it and metering it into the snack bag a little at a time. She was the one who suggested hiding it at home and giving her a daily ration. Now that is part of our routine. I’m safe as I don’t eat chocolate.

My Mother loved the combo of milk chocolate, fruits and nuts. She would attempt to hide Chunky bars from us kids in the hood of the frig light. But, every time we opened the frig door, the light ID the little tinfoil pkg immediately.

My work wife asked me to hide her chocolate and other sweets. Both were 100% safe from me. I’ll very occasionally get an urge for chocolate, but I only like excellent chocolate(s) which we don’t usually have around. Sometimes I’ll break a piece of TJ’s bittersweet, pound plus chocolate off and eat it. Bar is reserved for baking or desserts. I’m still married to my work wife, but she moved to Oregon, so sadly I’m not tasked with my duties any longer. Oh, forgot to mention the very rare urge for Hershey’s chocolate syrup, which is truly pretty awful after the reformulation; yet I’m able to get enough of the old flavor to satisfy childhood taste memories of eating it on vanilla ice cream.

A few months back I was prescribed a med that should be taken with food or milk. I generally need to be awake for an hour or so before I eat and I’m not a big fan of milk, so I started taking it on an empty stomach. Yep. it does require food or milk.

So I bought some Hershey’s syrup so I could take the pill with chocolate milk. Loved that as a kid, and in college my go-to hangover cure was that chocolate milk with a Kit-Kat bar. Not sure if it was the reformulation of the syrup, the fact that I now only have fat free milk (in the olden days I used whole milk) or just a change in my taste buds , but it was pretty bad.

The only chocolate syrup I would use as a kid was Chico. I was quite fussy!

I’m not familiar with Chico. I grew up and went to college in Philadelphia . . . Hershey’s was king in Pennsylvania.

My aunt got it on Long Island. It was not easy to find.

Yes to Hershey’s in Pa of course! You know, often for chocolate milk as kids, we’d have Nestle’s Quick, which we all loved, with the can of Hershey’s reserved for ice cream. Wonder, do they still make Nestle’s Quick, and what it may taste like? Might be better than Hershey’s for your chocolate milk. I also happen to love malted milk powder stirred into chocolate milk. Might even make the Hershey’s taste better @gaffk.
