'Glib' - when the words come out your mouth are fluent, but insincere and shallow.
McDonald's Sprite tastes good, it has just the right sweetness and fizz. It's always exactly the same wherever you go yet somewhat fake and hollow. Similarly, hotel conditioners in my experience, are cold and effective - in the way a walk in fridge is designed to keep meat fresh. Purely functional and devoid of tangible comfort. 'Glib'.
Ok, but my workplace has a walk in freezer and that place absolutely has "tangible comfort" in abundance when it's 95° outside and the air conditioner barely keeps up with the ovens....
I worked in a kitchen at a cult on a compound in Texas for a year and that summer was a hot one. One those 100F+ days I’d head into the kitchen on my off hours and hang out in the deep freeze walk in. This was 20 years ago, but if memory serves it was set to something like -10F, and god was it wonderful to cool down in. I’d stay in for 5 or 10 minutes and come out ready to go again. I loved it.
I'm not sure if I understand how hotel AC functionality is devoid of comfort. Wouldn't a functional AC also be indicative of comfort? Definitely better than a Non-functional AC i suppose.
If comments to this post don't explain it, I'm gonna need to book extra therapy 😬
Here’s my take…
Hotel air conditioners feel like perfect air conditioning. Likely due in part to hotel rooms being a small space, usually limited to one outside window, and they are usually good sized units so they will cool it very fast and effectively. Also the rooms are usually warm when you first enter, and so you turn on the A/C and immediately feel the room getting colder.
Similarly, McDonald’s pop is essentially perfect. McDonald’s arguably strives for consistency above all else, so you know that a Sprite from any location will be the perfect mix, the exact right about of carbonation, perfectly chilled with jus the right amount of ice. It will even have their specific large diameter straw to ensure the ideal flow rate when you drink.
Ideal flow rate, my ass. Small straws are better.
Well, ideal if you're selling soda and trying to get customers to drink as fast as possible.
I mean not really because your get free refills. If the regular were paid then you're comment would make more sense.
McDonald’s pop is essentially perfect.
I never got this. I only had coke, but it tastes watery just like fountain drinks anywhere else. With plastic bottles being the baseline, fountain drinks are consistently below it, even at MCD. The only coke I actually find better than this baseline are from the glass bottles.
Its just that the syrup ratios are turned up because they realized at some point the average time from pour to first sip is long. So that first hit before the ice melts is extra sweet. McDonald's soda without ice is grossly sweet, especially coke or dr p.
Nobody tell him
we had a Boston Market that had a lemonade machine which would 96% of the time give you a static shock the first time you took a sip of the lemonade. I miss them
Did the static shock have a taste, or was it overridden by the lemonade, or do you now associate the taste of shocks with lemonade?
Don't even really understand drinking Sprite overall. 7UP or nothing.
Never understood the whole Sprite/7Up/Starry a.k.a. Sierra Mist fandom. They all taste identical.
I don't know Starry or Sierra Mist, I'm not American z but 7Up just tastes crisper and tarter than Sprite to me.
Starry sitting in the corner: do I mean nothing to you?
What's Starry? No such thing in Canada.
Formerly Sierra Mist.
Oh ok. Not in Canada.
Yes
Are people suggesting that hotel air conditioners don't suck??? I have never been in a hotel where the AC did anything meaningful - often even when standing right over it.
Just stayed at a Courtyard in Portland this past weekend. $200 after tax/fees for the night.
It was 100F on Saturday and my corner room with a lot of exposure stayed cold. It worked quite well.
The mediocre hotel we just stayed in at Niagara Falls (it was a Quality Inn. How do you know it was quality? It had a Hooters attached.) had a terrific air conditioner. Not super loud and kept the room quiet.
But then Canadians generally do things well.
My usual experience with hotel ACs is generally the opposite — them pouring in almost frigid air.
Dr Pepper tastes the same as how a hospital smells
Delicious?
Doctory
I mean, it was created because a pharmacist wanted something that reminded him of his pharmacy.
But that was when pharmacies had soda fountains, milkshakes, and real fucking cocaine to go with your anti-hysteria dildo.
Yeah you have ghosts in your blood or something.
You should do some cocaine about it
-19th century doctors
Like latex gloves, wooden tongue depressors, and Ozium? Can't say that I agree. To me it tastes like Cherry Coke with the essence of cherry removed, leaving behind just the rest of the stuff that makes up a cherry.
It's almond flavouring, so you're pretty much bang on.
Explain why you're fondling air conditioners first
Too sweet?
