In my never-ending quest to kill myself with food as soon as humanly possible, today I resurrected one of my favorite college pastimes.
You get a can of your favorite soft drink (Dr Pepper works best, in my opinion, but that's because I'm an insane Pepperhead who was incontrovertibly warped by the 'I'm A Pepper' commercials in the late 70s) and pour it over ice.
Then you bite both ends off a cherry Twizzler and use it as a straw.
Every few sips, you pull out the Twizzler, eat it, and bite yourself off another Twizzler straw. Repeat until you're out of Twizzlers, out of soda, or in sugar shock.
And people have the nerve to claim my blog serves no useful purpose.

*cackles* I actually used to do that! No wonder I got hypoglycaemia...

By an amazing coincidence, I was doing that -- with a Dr. Pepper, no less -- a few days ago. It reminded me of how many cavities I need to get filled.

Dr. Pepper contains antifreeze, you know! ANTIFREEZE! ...well, actually, it *isn't* antifreeze, it's actually a close chemical relative (polyethelyne glycol as opposed to ethelyne glycol) which isn't actually as dangerous, but still. I'll stick with Coca-Cola, thank you.

Since when is a blog *supposed* to serve a useful purpose? =p

I have GOT to try that! Another fun thing to do is play with peeps. Ever stuck one in the microwave? They inflate! If you put a toothpick in two..and aim that at each other, you can have peep jousting matches. More fun with pure sugar!

Pseudo-anti-freeze stuff? I remember when anti-freeze leeked from my car in the parking lot of the Ace Hardware. Ew. Ew. ... Ahem. I'll stick to my natural sodas, thank you...

I personally prefer Drano to Anti-Freeze, but that's just me.
Your Blog has a great purpose; we are all wiser having read it! You're a teacher for us! :3
And that sounds like a good idea. Too bad I have neither of those items on hand right now....

Christ, Moo, I thought I was the only person who did that. :)
Randomly, I kicked Luca's ever-loving ass last night.

Ohhh, I am going to try this next time I have twizzlers on hand. Lovely idea.

Crap! Or not. Cut off the index.html and it'll forward ya. (So sue me, it's been a while since I went there.)

hehe, i do that all the time! the best though, is to take coke, add a couple packets of suger, and THEN use twizlers as straws! XDDD
yes, i will be a diabetic by the time i'm 21 most likely. >_>

You can also use Twizzlers to siphon gasoline!

Wheeee! Wow, that's one I've definitely got to try... How about Pepsi and milk, did anyone ever try that? My cousin thought it was the drink of the gods....
