Actually, yes. You're quite right. That'd be the right amount of soda for that amount of sugar. I had my ounces/metric conversion all wrong. The idea of a sugar RDA is insane anyway. It's like having an RDA of Bolivian marching powder. That would probably be healthier, actually.

But doesn't the body actually need sugar?

But doesn't the body actually need sugar? Refined sugar, no. The kind still encased in fruit and whole grains, yes. They even distinguish between other carbohydrates and added sugar on food labels, because of the horrible damage the refined stuff does to your body.

Also, cocaine (in the form of coca leaves) has been used safely in Bolivia, Peru and Argentina for thousands of years. Apparently very good at fighting altitude sickness, among other medicinal uses. This is going to sound like an oversimplification, but it's mostly true: in the Americas, Europeans seem to fuck up a good thing whenever they find it.

Apparently, Tintin changed his name when he grew up?

I watched an idiot stop and text on her phone - in the doorway into our store.

There was a detailed article about that in a recent Fortean Times.

I daresay that's where the Redditor found it...

Was he playing Dungeons and Dragons? In the early Sixties?

I sent for a Euphorbia globosa from Etsy and it arrived today. I was astonished to see that someone had shipped it from Turkey. I always make sure to get Etsy stuff that ships from the USA, you know, to avoid bankruptcy. So then I open it and find the damnedest thing. It looks like knobbly pink Easter eggs stuck together. It's more or less a Euphorbia but those really don't come in pink. What did this seller send me? pin.it/4UsuFS4

Judging by Pinterest's "More Like This" AI, you received some kind of cupcakes or pastries.

I'm not going to lean over them under any circumstances. They could contain facehuggers.

I got a shudder from that mental image. I'm guessing the three pods(?) are only maybe lemon-sized right now? Even little bitty-sized alien face-huggers would be absolutely horrifying.
