Little dude looks like I should be able to lightly press his back and he lights up like a novelty nightlight

what does a blue raspberry taste like

BroBot9000@lemmy.world on 16 Mar 22:41 next collapse

Artificial sweetener

littletoolshed@lemmy.world on 16 Mar 22:45 collapse

Also:

The flavor does not derive from any species of raspberry, but rather was developed using esters that are part of the flavor profile of pineapple, banana and cherry. Sugar is commonly added to create taste appeal for the blue raspberry flavor.

I expected a paragraph saying it’s banned in the EU for causing AIDSCancer

this reminds me of one of my “cowboy phrases”

Im from Texas but I live somewhere else now. My employees laugh at some things I thought were common phrases.

Anyway …

Person: I wish/wanted/hoped (blank)

Me: yeah, and I wish frogs had wings so they didn’t have to bump their ass on the ground when they hopped. Life is full of little disappointments.

In case you’re curious for a couple more cowboy phrases.

Person: are you sure this was (the most likely cause)

Me: the bright star is always Venus. Is that bright star Venus? Probably, we can find out, it’s a waste of time tho because it’ll be venus. It’s always Venus.

Last example: “I see” said the blind man as he pissed into the wind “it’s all coming back to me now”

You’re from very eloquent part of Texas

Aeao@lemmy.world on 18 Mar 20:56 collapse

Want to hear another one that isn’t Texan, I think it’s just me?

When someone is hurrying me or being impatient I’ll say

“Chill Vladimir, don’t be Russian”

Oh that’s a good one, stolen.

My dad always said: “I see” said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw.

Aeao@lemmy.world on 18 Mar 14:56 collapse

That’s the original phrase yes.

I mean, I lick every frog and toad I find, but this guy is getting popped right in the mouth.

Kolanaki@pawb.social on 18 Mar 21:25 next collapse

I’ve never seen one of these in San Jose.

Someone should make a blue raspberry lemonade gummy shaped like this guy.

How… how do they know what the frog doesn’t taste like?
