Au contraire, you should feel refined and stylish in your musical sensibilities. The song (and artist) blows major chunkage...You know, like all of Lady Gaga's music, it's music written like plastic bottles are manufactured for beverages. You drink it, you toss it or recycle, it's solid-good for one use and after you have utilized it, for all manner of abuse.

Because historically, Australia was fulla drunks and rounders, the exiled and the wild-
Blame Prohibition in the U.S. for the terminology: “Soft Drink” refers to most beverages that do not contain an inordinate amount of alcohol (hard drink)-Booze bees the culprit, although a lifetime of soda on the tummy is as hard a drink as you can get as far your stomach-lining is concerned.

You're ignoring the entire record of human history... No gov. means a void that people will try to fill. How many warlords are there in Somalia?

From chaos and disorder, the wielder of the biggest club will eventually float to the top. Whether that club is literal (feudal/tribal) or a democratic faction, or a totalitarian regime/police state is immaterial.

But hey, the internet is the panacea for the furious crowd. Now people can soapbox day and night as they order in pizza and consume litres of sugar filled beverages before ordering something else pointless on the internet. Slacktivism at it's finest.

Apathy is the new outrage and it's all the rage.

I really did not think of having a side. I remember this .. but only remember that some lady got millions when "she" spilled coffee on herself. I remember everyone joking about it and saying that it was her fault and such, like the video describes, but I really did not have the full story.

Having watch this and to answer your question, McDonalds is selling a beverage that can cause such burns and to that end they should have payed her bills and expenses.

Since McDonalds decided to be dicks I'm glad she sued.
Hopes that answers your question.

When I was in Korea my family hired a moving company, and I got to witness this fine art in person. These guys are no joke. They are seriously skilled in their craft. And YES, they have redefined packing and moving into mater craft.

But for all the work they do and hours of training they've put in, they aren't paid nearly as enough as they should. It's like watching a City bus driver weaving the big bulky bus through jammed traffic and tight corners with finesse and precision, yet at the end of the day it's just another day at work for him.

Also keep in mind that in Asia there is no tipping culture, so they don't make any more money than their fixed pay. In Korean society it is in our tradition to serve the movers with a meal and a few beverages, but that's as far as getting anything extra from their job.

I have huge respects for what these guys do in Asia and I hope they get all the attention and the recognition they deserve.

Still amazes me how that nasty little Guyana- beverage became the toxic swill of choice for so many-I imagine a lot of folks who drink Red Bullpiss and tout the poison have never taken any real drugs, save the last leeegal ones.

Am I the only one who thinks the shit tastes like shit ??

But you see, this is the thing you learn about James Bond. Vesper Lynd gets it - he's a common thug in a Savile Row suit. Ordering such a malapropos beverage as a shaken vodka martini is one of the ways Fleming let his readership know what sort of chap Bond is - either studiously disdainful of what his upper-class schoolmates might have considered correct, or clueless.

ChiCity say, "droppin' vagina panties all over the place"

be prepared for Belgian waffles, bacon, maple syrup 'n berry medley and a ride to work, aww WHAAT!??

Caffeine is not a diuretic.

“In the 10 studies reviewed, consumption of a caffeinated beverage resulted in 0 to 84 percent retention of the initial volume ingested, whereas consumption of water resulted in 0 to 81 percent retention.”
Another study, in the same journal in 2005, involved scientists following 59 active adults over 11 days while controlling their caffeine intake. They were given caffeine in capsule form on some days and on other days were given a placebo. Researchers found no significant differences in levels of excreted electrolytes or urine volume.

I did in fact do it on a diet beverage. Actually twice...once in the aforementioned comment and another time (I guess it's a cool party/office trick). Both times were diet and it worked like a charm.>> ^ReverendTed:

Wait - did he show all this and then somewhat defuse the utility of it at the end by saying it doesn't work on diet beverages?

Two lines I quote very frequently are "This is a tasty burger!" and "You mind if I have some of your tasty beverage to wash this down?"

Do people really ever have a milkshake before/during their entree, or is that just a work of fiction? It's always seemed strange to me.

I don't know how well it works, but wikipedia lead me to this cheep product that's supposed to make it easy to supercool any bottled beverage.

I think this sort of idiot proofing is what I need to get it right; I always either somehow agitate the beer or cool it too much.
