Anyone know if Detralex is cheaper here than in Canada? Is it worth driving over there just to grab some?
Not really... maybe $2 or $3 less on a 60-pack. It's annoying they don't even carry bulk sizes here anymore, just the 60-packs or smaller. If you're lucky enough to find the massive 180-count box somewhere, that's actually the best deal—costs a bit more than two 60-packs combined...

I haven't seen anyone mention this until now—the reboot of those Batons, the old-school format—even though if you check their website, they’re clearly still selling the original ones 😕
For the most part, it isn't overly sweet; it actually holds its own quite well within the context of low-end candy
Frondi used to be the bomb! Can't remember if it was Hershey's or someone else making them. They were short, like three of them fit into one Baton. Then today I spotted Batons in a retro box. Not sure if it was some retro week at Lidl or if they brought back the old packaging. Maybe they actually improved them since everyone absolutely trashed them at Blue Stone.
Need some help here: whenever I hit reply, my typing cursor turns white. Since the text box is also white—yeah, you guessed it—the damn thing is invisible. It works totally fine in the Quick Reply box, though. It stays black and visible there. Is this just my computer acting up, or is the forum broken?
It’s all about how you define things, so this probably belongs on a social media thread instead... Think of it like the difference between a highway and a single lane. A highway is just the general surface meant for cars to drive on. That's the definition. Same goes for a railroad—it's just the medium used to move rail vehicles. Whether it's a single track, double track, or whatever doesn't change that basic definition. A track is just the pair of rails used to get things moving...

I'm only dropping this comment here because the thread isn't even about food science, but whatever... I see everyone freaking out over the sugar content in elderberry syrup. My question for you all is: why aren't you losing your minds over the same amount of sugar in other fruit syrups? You know, cherry, raspberry, grape, pear...?
one random top comment: why limit ourselves to just elderberry? did anyone actually look into how other syrups are made? cherry, raspberry... (seriously, what else can you even make syrup out of?) The standard recipe is usually a kilo of fruit to a kilo of sugar, then drown it in a liter of water. 🙅♂️ Sure, straining the fruit thins it out a bit, but we’re still talking about something pretty close to that nasty Coca-Cola. The point is, we're talking about syrup. And by definition, syrup is thick, sticky, and sweet. You don't get thickness, stickiness, or sweetness by magic. And I haven't seen anyone out there making homemade raspberry or cherry concentrate either. 😉
Now, back to the main topic. Saw someone at a coffee shop today who had the bright idea to package elderberry juice in little pouches like honey, and they were selling them at bars for $3.25 (pure economic genius, honestly 🙏). We should probably check the ingredients; maybe someone will figure out how to extract some solid matter or something that actually captures that elderberry flavor.

Wondering how much damage or good an occasional adrenaline spike actually does to you. Got hit with a massive one today... just a complete overload of excitement, fear, and pure bliss all at once. Took me a few minutes just to catch my breath, and that tightness in my chest, throat, and lungs—plus the shaking in my hands and legs—lingered for another twenty minutes. Is this stuff mostly good for you, bad for you, or just whatever...
this new scheduler is a total wreck. messy, confusing, just a complete disaster. don't even get me started on having to use some numeric 🙄 username and a password that took forever to come up with... if I could even remember it. then once I finally nailed one, it rejected it because I used three identical numbers in a row. back to square one, only this time it told me it was too short—less than 8 characters. absolute joke. as soon as I close this out, I’m moving my funds to Chase, I'm done with this crap.
It’s like drinking chalk dissolved in water. Doesn't really cramp you up since it's pretty much inert in the gut... basically, what goes in comes right back out. The only bad part is swallowing that thick, tasteless sludge. I wasn't ready for it, so I thought they were handing me yogurt or milk. The doctor yelled, "Time for a big gulp," and I was all like, "Yum, slurp," and then—gross. Now we're prepared, so at least there won't be any surprises regarding the taste.

And here's another interesting thought—they don't even need to be in their own territory to get things moving; once they make contact with the body, they seem to intuitively know exactly which direction to head in to reach their destination, and I'm honestly curious how they manage that feat. I actually remember seeing a fascinating science documentary on Discovery Channel that explored this exact phenomenon.
My aunt at the CVS told me the same thing. So far, I haven't felt anything at all 😬 I tried explaining to her how she could've caught it from me, but she just told me to wait and see. Now I’m out here walking around with a magnifying glass every day looking for something, but nothing's showing up... 😁 Turns out it was just three tiny bugs (and I was expecting a whole swarm based on how she sounded over the phone).
Look, I don't even care about that part anymore. What I want to know is if she could've picked them up somewhere else without another person being involved (since there's no way she got them from me). This isn't even about whether she's faithful or whatever, because she's not my girl. But man... it sucks that somehow I'm the one coming out looking like the bad guy here.
Where are these bastards hiding, and what are the odds of picking them up without any actual skin-to-skin contact? (Assuming you’re staying clean, obviously)
If you guys play nice and give me some smart answers, I might just drop the rest of the story. I know you're all dying to know... 😬 but don't get your hopes up—it's not about me, it's about her 😬 who's currently coming for my head for absolutely no reason...

Honestly, it’s not exactly the season for the countryside right now. Everything's already been harvested, and you can walk through mud anywhere you go. Maybe you'll find some unpicked corn, but even that's mostly gone. Just hang tight until spring...🙂
So, I need an American version of Wilma Rudolph to help me out here😍. I'm trying to remember the name of this French skater who had some wild routines. He’d skate in denim jeans to crazy music, basically ignoring technical perfection just to entertain the crowd. He’d be doing flips, dancing, acting a fool... kind of that vibe. Not sure if he's still skating, but I remember him from about ten years ago. Anyone know who he is?
