I am only ashamed of the energy I spent feeling ashamed of my tastes.
I fuck with hot gas station sandwiches. Like the ones they have wrapped in paper/foil in the little to-go heat lamp hut. Also anything from the hot roller. Like taquitoes or doom dogs as I call them. I like em extra dizzy and sweaty. Maybe with a packet of onion slime on em.
I survived on that stuff as a teen. You could get a pretty solid meal at the gas station for like $3. But this was also back when McDonald’s had a dollar menu and you could get 2 mcdoubles and a drink for $3.

I was hoping to read something in the style of that watermelon-guy :)
Maaaan, that’s a half-step further than I was gonna admit to with “pepperoni Domino’s w/ green olives and ranch”. 🥹
I eat qwik star at least 3 days a week. On I think Wednesdays, you can get two good size chicken tenders and a bunch of fries for $6. It’s damn good chicken too. There are deals every day too. Mushroom and Swiss Angus burger for like $3, you can’t beat the quantity and honestly, the quality for that price.
Don’t miss out on the gas station sushi, hot or cold /s
Fr tho, can gas stations have some really good food if you give it a shot. Especially if it isn’t a chain and offers fried chicken.
I really… Really like Smirnoff Ice. I’m 44.
No shame in that, it’s literally like getting drunk on lemonade. Shit was delicious.
Not like I’ve drank any in like 15 years, but I have some fond memories of younger me drinking this crap lol
That was probably the only drink that gave me a really bad hangover headache when I was a teenager. I was pretty much invincible back then, and maybe would get a slightly upset stomach, but they would crush my head in a vice >.<
coughzimacough
Ayyy. How old are we? 😅🫣
I’m honestly shocked by the amount of people who have no idea what Zima is. That shit used to be everywhere.
I don’t think I’ve had one in twenty years and I just got the taste in my mouth reading your comment.
Thanks.
I wish they would just sweeten with magnesium/stevia. Not sure how that would taste on the way in but its worth a shot, BigBooze
I cook ramen normally then spread it on the plate. Then I open a can of cream of mushroom… Straight on top of the ramen cold… Next is a can of French cut green beans, drained, then straight to the pile. My wife won’t let me eat it around her
You got someone to marry you with that habit intact?!
You don’t lead with that! You want until the relationship is established before something like that.
Yeah, that’s definitely some Iris DeMent & John Prine level love. 😅🤗
In Spite Of Our Ramens
The approach feels wrong, but taking the noodles/cooking water, adding the can of soup (condensed I assume) and letting the noodle water thin out it, and mixing in green beans doesn’t actually sound horrific. It might look vile though.
I’m a little unsure about the prep, but that does sound pretty good
I’m curious if OP ever tried heating the cream of mushroom and green beans but decided it was preferable to eat them cold right out of the can.
I don’t think I will ever want to eat that, but no one is making me, so have at it!
I am not a great cook and eat a lot of of crap… But this is too much, even for me. I think I’m going to throw up in my mouth…
My wife makes a green bean casserole that has cream of mushroom in it so I don’t think the combination you’ve described is as bad as it sounds.
A can of Pringles is one serving
There’s another option?
Not when it they had Hot Ones pringles it wasnt!
If anything I feel less ashamed than when I was a teenager. I still love cute stuff, stupid humor and toys :)
Death metal. Death metal while birding (or more like processing footage). Death metal while cross stitching. Death metal while crocheting. It’s a weird outlet that I mostly keep to myself.
I listen to metal while doing a lot of things and no shame there :)
I can’t let go of it either, though I don’t listen to it as frequently anymore. Got any good recs?
Lately I find myself listening to The Ocean Collective, Mors Principium est, Be’lakor, Soilwork, Between the Buried and Me. Generally more melodic and progressive stuff. Sometimes I put on metalcore which can also be a banger like Monuments (saw them live earlier this year, they were amazing), Periphery, Bleed From Within.
I know some purists would jump on my classification but it’s hard for me to put labels on music these days with bands having a much more unique style, rather than fixing themselves into a specific genre.
Nice! I haven’t heard of those first few, I’ll check em out. Soilwork and Between the Buried and Me are solid, so is Periphery
Skinny jeans for life!
Ya brother
Huh? Your bad habit is clothes that fit?
I’m in my 40s and still put ketchup on my hotdogs. Also, I still eat hotdogs.
puts down bun
Were we supposed to stop at some point?
I notice you didn’t put down the hot dog.
Fine… Take it
This should not shame anyone. Hot dogs are wonderful, and ketchup is a fine additive.
I’ve been known to put baked beans on mine, and potato chips on my burgers (that salty crunch is grand). Having a kid lets you revisit many of these.
Potato chips on burgers - I like to call that “fat guy lettuce”… Adds a nice crunch.
Oh god that nice crunch comment brought be back to me being a kid watching muppet babies at 4am in the morning when my cousin stayed with us at the grandparents.
I would eat sour cream, plain potato chips, and tomatoes on a kaiser bun. The saltyness from the chips with the tomatoes and then the tang of sour cream
Ketchup is a jam, not a savory condiment. 🤢🖕🏽
I have a cherry and rosemary jam that shows that jams can be savory.
Also, with the idea that ketchup is a jam, what are you putting ketchup on??? Scones? Muffins? Cheese? Peanut butter and ketchup sandwiches?
You should not have to feel ashamed. Come to Denmark. We have perfected the hotdog.
The correct toppings are:
- Ketchup
- Mustard (preferably dijon, but some like the sweet variant)
- Remulade
- Both raw and roasted onions
- Slices of pickled cucumber
What’s remulade you ask? It is the slightly tangy/sweet thick sauce that ties the whole thing together.
are the cucumbers pickled dill (tart) or sweet?
Perfected? This isnt a one dog to rule them all world we live in
Not in a world where the 1.50 Costco hotdog exists. This the perfect example of a simple and humble simple hot dog
And also JapadJapadogog would like a word with you
To quote one of my favourite movies “Allah loves wonderous variety”
I would try that anytime and put mayo and cheese on it.
What the hell is wrong with hot dogs and what are you supposed to put on them if not ketchup (and mustard)?
What’s wrong with eating hot dogs?
What’s wrong with hot dogs? They’re delicious and have lots of protien. I’m with you on the ketchup though.
I still dance when I’m alone.
I don’t even need music any more
All of them.
Have not dropped one except type and frequency of soda
I guess I drink diet pop now, instead of Tahiti Treat.
You should try San Pellegrino and add fruit in an infuser bottle. Its way better in every sense imaginable
San Pellegrino is Nestle by the way for anyone that cares.
What? Nooooooooooo?!
Dark brown sugar sandwiches. Yep fresh water bread. Butter thick. Dark brown sugar between. Yeah I’ll probably be having a heart attack any day now.
You forgot the cinnamon.
Wait wait wait. Ooh I’m so going to try this now.
Mine was similar. As a teenager I used to make sandwiches as you describe with instant coffee granules instead of sugar. The granules would dissolve into the butter to form a brown caffeinated sludge. Yummo!
That is terrible, I love it.
I’m a railroad and siren enthusiast. Many people look down on the hobbies as “childish”, although there are tons of adults who participate. I still feel uneasy telling people though, because I fear how they’ll react.
I took a ride in a steam train for the first time last week and it was so cool. Trains are badass.
Keep a pocket siren on hand so if anyone is a dick about it you can give them an in person experience
Some sirens can run as low as 6 volts, so that’s genuinely possible lmao
I keep thinking about thos and forgetting to comment back. What are the small sirens used for? I don’t know anything about this niche of objects and am curious
Small sirens are usually used on vehicles such as fire engines, as they are audible at a longer distance than electronic vehicle sirens. Small sirens are also often used in industrial sites, where they are used as general indoor emergency sirens and lunch whistles. They are also often used by rural volunteer fire departments as fire sirens to summon firefighters to the station during a fire call. They’re perfectly suited for short range use.
Chef Boyardee and Heinz Tinned Spaghetti.
If I’m doing a grocery shop alone, I can’t be trusted not to buy some. Sometimes I bring some home. Sometimes it doesn’t make it.
Oh yeah, I like it cold too. I know I’m a monster.
You eat cold Chef Boyardee in the car before you even get home from the store?
Wtf dog
I’ve given up smoking, vaping, and recently caffeine. Leave me this one vice!
Before you gave those up did you smoke while eating car ravioli and keep a cup of burnt drip in the same hand as your cigarettes? From an observing perspective would that be better or worse than watching someone bone sober fuck up a cold can of soup?
(Edit to add though congrats on being able to quit those! I’ve managed to be alcohol free for almost two years now shits tough. Had to ditch caffeine too I started feeling like I was going to have a heart attack any time I had some)
My coworkers look at me like I’m a monster for just grabbing a fork and eating the chef boyardee spaghetti and meatballs straight out of the can.
Well I think you’re my kind cat!
I don’t think I’m ashamed of any, in all honesty. Even back then, I was a shameless idiot. I think I’m just much less of an ignorant, impulsive asshole than back then, but otherwise… I’m not that different.
