Well yeah, Mint Chocolate Ice Cream is just cold toothpaste.

Kisses have so little flavor though…

Where my Reese’s PB Cup fans at??

EDIT: On second thought, maybe those don’t count because they’re not only chocolate.

Words to live by.

I’ve seen your Christmas sweet treats. I would totally be in a sugar coma!

I confess I bought a skateboard. Used to skate a bunch, dunno why but I have the bug to do it again. Great cardio, too. It arrives tomorrow, I’m super excited but also very aware that repeatedly falling and landing off surfaces at even my young age of 30 (I do maintain that infantry adds a few years onto your joints, though) is going to be drastically different from my teenage years, mostly because I just haven’t done it for so long. Tony Hawk did another 900 at 48 years old, so I’m not saying it’s gonna be terrible from now on, only that it’s gonna be…interesting.

Nice! Next thing you know you’ll be wearing a backwards baseball cap and calling everybody ā€œdudeā€. In any case, I’ve never heard of anyone skateboarding for cardio so that’s actually quite interesting.

I’ll be skateboarding for fun, not for cardio, I’m just saying that in my current mindset, the cardio is a benefit. Pro skateboarders are all wiry and lean - it’s balancing, jumping, and holding athletic positions for long durations.

Also, I call everyone dude anyway, women and men, outside of professional settings

It’s the secret ingredient in both my pumpkin shakes and black bean chili.

No good by itself though.

I don’t get Japanese food. I mean I think it’s nice but I would pick many other meals before I came to a Japanese one

When I remember, I add 100% cacao powder (along with frozen fruit, nuts, some low sugar preserves/jam) to plain yogurt.

Gives it a mole(sauce) type style probably.

I find Japanese tempura to be the best version of ā€œfriedā€.

Same. I usually feel a pretty crappy after having artificial sweetener. A person at work tried to convince me that her son has the same issue and it is not an uncommon thing but I don’t believe her and put it in the same class as wind turbine illness.

It makes my heart race and I feel like shit if I eat or drink/eat aspartame. Sucralose doesn’t seem to affect me quite as badly. Sorry, but you are not that special. :rofl:

It’s been many, many years, but that was my body’s reaction to aspartame as well.

Funny you mention sucralose as tolerable, because that’s what is in Finibars, and I’m ok with eating a Finibar on a workout day.

It’s strange. The bitterness disappears but it also kinda tames down the chili powder heat. The flavor it creates is really pretty neat. But they’re both still there. They’re just like layered.

But with pumpkin and spices it makes them stand out.

I dunno. It’s good though!

I used to skate as a kid. Was pretty decent and can still ride hover boards and those weird wobbly 2 wheel skate board things, but man have I lost the touch on a skate board. Seems the older you get the more coordination you lose lol.

But every kid has to find out for themselves.

I thought about starting a new tide pod/cinnamon style challenge, but with my luck the only thing that would catch on would be sharing the vid of ā€œdouchebag eats a tablespoon of raw cocoa and chokes to deathā€. :joy:

Maybe you aren’t going to the good ones?

The thing that I like about Japanese food is that the apparent simplicity of it is actually deceptively sophisticated. Take salmon sashimi for example. Salmon sashimi from a so so japanese restaurant tastes sooooo different from a salmon sashimi from a high end restaurant. There’s a reason for the price difference and it’s not just because you’re in a fancy restaurant. Same goes for the other popular dishes like katsudon, chicken teriyaki, and tempura. Wagyu? Looks really simple, but the really good ones are really hard to find, but oh so worth it. My personal favorite dishes are salmon sashimi, scalop sashimi, uni, gyudon, gindara, and wagyu cubes.

…Also, I love all kinds of chocolate lol
