LOL well mine isnt for anything like this so i wont disagree with that mine is also not even public. But I thought it was funny it is the same board.
I spend more time here though 

well you're here 17 hours a day so it would be hard to be at another board more

Wow. What happened to this thread while I was gone??? It turned into a thread about technical difficulties???

Anyway, "flat white" was one of the coffee types I was thinking about. I thought there was a "short black", too. What's interesting about that is in the U.S., people don't usually ask for a coffee, except by size - short, tall, grande, venti, etc. Unless you are ordering a capuccino or latte, you are adding the milk/creamer yourself. So, the flat white concept doesn't compute.

About supersized drinks. 7-11 convenience store here is the biggest offender. They offer "Big Gulp", which are 64 to 128-ounces. Then, those idiots will sell you this plastic "big gulp" mug that looks like a prop from "Honey I Shrunk the Kids". I had a coworker with one. I used to ask what family member's ashes were in his "urn". Because that how big the thing was. Who needs that much fluid???

Don't they sell some huge ass candy straw thing with it too??? My son was at a sleep over and came home with one of those things I was like WTF is that. The damn thing was half his size and topped off with this huge candy straw.

Anyone who eats fastfood or drinks Soda is nuts IMHO.everyone should see Supersize me.that guy almost died from eating that shit.

everything in moderation dude. You should probably not eat garbage like that more often than once a fortnight but occasionaly it is good 2 splurge

Life is all about moderation.

I agree dude. I never drink soft drink unless it has alcohol mixed in with it. I used to work for Pepsi down here so I know about how bad that shit is for your body!

You see in Australia very few ppl actually drink normal flat white coffee. Latte is the most popular followed by the Cappucino. So if you went somewhere and asked for a coffee here they'd be like... well what type!

Dude, I'm surprised it took the thread THAT long to derail.

I totally agree about a 64-128oz Big Gulp filled with cola being completely outrageous. Now if it was beer on the other hand....I'll take 3!

In Sydney there is a German Pub that sells Beer in the traditional size german Stein.

Seriously 3 of those things and you are fucked!
