Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

I did it when I was in my 20s a few times and I hated it. Tasted suspiciously like vomit.

However I did not give up there. The grown up spider/icecream soda involves tonic water, french vanilla icecream, crushed strawberries and a dash of gin, imo.

I like how you hated it so much, you tried it multiple times 😆

I can't stomach anything with tonic water. It must be an acquired taste because it's so bad.

What can I say, I was young and it feels like it should work so I kept thinking maybe the champagne wasn't good enough, maybe it works better with dry instead of sweet, etc.

If you hate tonic, maybe substitute one of those fancy Fever Tree club sodas then?

To be honest, the whole thing doesn't sound that appetising to me! I'm just not a big spider fan in general, so swapping the tonic probably wouldn't help.

Makes sense. I still really love plain lemonade ones, feels like a treat for me.

Ok, maybe I'd go for a lemonade one if it was offered 😆
