#fat free milk :(

i’ve been listening to/watching many (many, many) reactions to steven universe (because that’s what you do when you become newly obsessed with something. see what everyone else thinks about it and drive yourself mad) and it’s so interesting to see all the unique ways people tackle it and the common threads between them all.

there’s podcast recaps (pressure to over-analyze) vs youtube reactions (pressure to overreact). everyone knowing the show (yay) vs fans guiding newcomers (interesting) vs everybody being blind (often disastrous). don’t mind silly fun? they love the first season and amethyst’s character. told about how ~deep~ it gets and expecting only that? they love pearl and have to be dragged through the beginning. even how they chunk the episodes affects things—in watching episode-by-episode, people go the most mad as they try to squeeze meaning out of episodes they can’t yet appreciate until later (or are just. bad at analyses.). in chunks of two, people assume su will have much more horror after watching frybo and cat fingers back-to-back. and chunks of 5 are completely different too!

this only skims the surface. i can watch any episode of su and point out which jokes usually make people laugh, what people pick up on, and how their opinion of the situation reflects on whether they have mommy issues.

always fun encountering a confused foreigner at the milk aisle in your local grocery store and being asked to explain the difference between the dozens of different types of milk that's being sold there

"I'm just not going to buy into the idea that versions of food with key elements stripped out are 'healthier'", he said, eating gluten free cereal

They don't tell you this but cereal is so good

rex’s diet is so bland like it consists of plain spagetti, milk, and chocolate

You know, cats are actually lactose intolerant. I don't fully know why, because I'm dumb, but you're not meant to give them lactose milk, as it upsets their bellies. Now, I doubt all those bars Puss is getting his leche from are serving him lactose free milk, so is he just drinking milk he knows will make him sick later? Does he think it's just a hangover, or is he completely aware of what's going on and just doesn't give a shit? Is his apparent drunkness from milk literally just some kind of unique intolerance reaction? Is Puss spiking his milk with alcohol, making an even more deadly drink? I must know.

How and why does this chocolate oat milk taste hollow?

How does a liquid do that? I know it's not just me being a texture-sensitive autist bc after initial skepticism Mr. Piffy took a sip and agrees.

Low cal chocolate bar!

Sugar free / vegan very low fat. 80 cal or lower !

1/4 cup or 25 grams of dutch-process cocoa ( I used rodelle ) - 75 calories .

About 1-1/2 tsp or 5-8 grams of liquid sweetener (any will do. Powder works too in a pinch)

1 tablespoon of 15-20 grams of water or unsweetened almond milk (only 3 cals)

Optional: a few drops of peppermint extract, sea salt, cayenne powder. or use sf flavored coffee syrup as the liquid sweetener are a nice touch

mix, freeze, and then thaw for like a minute. I have a silicone candy mold but this works in any flat container . You get a large 60 gram chocolate bar that's extremely chocolaty and delicious for 80 calories or even less depending on what cocoa powder you use.

Notes:

If you want a richer taste to really hit that chocolate bar craving, mix some light butter or maybe just a tiny bit of coconut oil really works. It Shouldn’t add too many cals but def increase satiety.

Calories in cocoa powdered do vary depending on fat content, this recipe can be as low as 58 cals if you need it, but if won’t be over 85 for this amount which is still much lower than even half a sugar free chocolate bar

I hated advertising long before I figured out I was autistic

okay do yoh guys ever think about the fact that “high quality” is an actual descriptor like theres high quality tea leaves high quality fabrics high quality espresso beans etc but because of advertising everything that is said to be “high quality” on the package is just because it supposedly sells better. but not everything is high quality so it is a lie. a descriptor becomes meaningless because it sounds good. what if we were just honest. why cant you say this coffee beans arent the best but they will do the job. i would be happy with okay if it didnt lie

it annoys me so much that they don’t sell lactose free half&half or heavy cream around here. I *know* that it’s a thing that exists but they don’t sell it here for some reason >:l
