  • One of my stranger experiences as a cashier was watching someone waiting to be checked out change their mind and start trying to abandon some ground beef among the candy bars at the checkout. Apparently handing it over to me didn’t occur to them. At least when I pointedly offered, “If you don’t want that I’ll take it.” they handed it over.




  • I enjoy trying limited time flavors (of various brands and product types) and mystery flavors are no exception. My wife likes to as well so we’ll usually buy a single bottle to share and try. Despite liking the novelty it is pretty rare for me to leave the experience thinking, “I need to clear out the shelves before this goes away.”










  • BUT I have read in the past that it has some smelling problem which the manufacturer were not able to get rid of.

    I know this is quite a bit of a long time to come back to a thread (someone posted a new comment so it has pulled me back) but I find there is a bit of a coffee odor retained even after washing. Nothing rancid or anything but you can tell it gets used as a coffee mug. I find the main culprit is the gasket on the lid. but I’ve found that if I want to make the effort a soak in baking soda water eliminates it but I find when it is full of coffee any new coffee scents aren’t being harmed by the lingering coffee smell. I may just not be very sensitive to such things though.
