I have now tried the Coke Oreo Zero Sugar soda and the Coca-Cola Oreos. They are entirely Fine and not groundbreaking.

The soda is fine as far as fake sugar pop goes. Not really much of an Oreo taste but it's kinda there. I can see how it would be off-putting to some. If you don't like Coke Zero you won't like this, of course.

The Oreos are strongly scented of Coca-Cola. They are double stuffed, which I feel was a good choice as it lends a cream soda note. The pop rocks are present but not overwhelming. I like the red cookie with the branded stamping.

I will not be seeking another bottle (we split one at work). I may purchase more Coke-scented Oreos, but I think the original is better there.

I'm a huge fan of Necco Wafers, although you can definitely talk me into toffees of various descriptions as well

except maybe salt water taffy

RAAAAAAAAA!!!!

oh. yeah. those. i used to use those like money. everyone else loved them but my mouth hates them. lol ^,..,^

They use the some of the previous day's batch like a sourdough starter, kind of a Neverending Soup situation. You could be eating Tootsie Roll from 1896!

Caramelized sugars and with added fat and some salt, like I got an orange-colored crème brûlée over here

• Fighting an infection (non-respiratory, got topicals and pills for extra fun)
• Ragweed is high (as usual in August)
• My body thinks the ragweed is worse than the infection, I guess, and whenever I spend time w/o a n95 mask on away from the room with the air purifier I get fatigued
• It was hot and we had storms again last night so I didn't sleep well for a 2nd night in a row

I am having to re-sew some pieces for the 3rd time and have decided that maybe today is just a book sort of day. I have pizza dough rising for dinner and am crossing my fingers it comes out OK.

Eating the pears from last weekend. Slice up some pears real thin and put them on your pizza. Goes well with many types of strong cheese and savory meats. Drizzle some hot honey or balsamic glaze on it if you want.
