I work at a grocery store and honestly I didn’t even bat an eye, the first thing I thought about was how to bag it.
In case you’re wondering if we care about what you’re buying the only (non regular) customer that I remember is one Irish guy who would crack jokes about his ex wife on a roadtrip. Don’t fully remember but my God he made like 4 zingers in a row and I about cried laughing at like 7:30am
edit: oh and I learned about a new pasta last week, that was cool
You call beer, junkfood and alcohol groceries?
Look at Mr. Fatcat over here. Bet they salt their lentils too!
… you get lentils?
Not from a store!
That would be the um, joke
I love the juxtaposition of sugar free Coke with sugar added Jack Daniels. Dodging and weaving against diabetes.
I just like the taste of coke zero, ill eat candy/dessert still, save the calories id get out of drinking coke, gotta have some vices or you’ll be an uptight bitch
Coke zero is worse for your health. Artificial sweeteners have pretty bad health effects, especially the one used in coke.
It is heavily suspected of being able to cause, heart issues, and having the counter intuitive effect to actually make your brain want more sugar, because the complete sugar activation mechanism isn’t triggered properly. It is also slightly suspected to cause cancer, although researchers don’t agree at all on this subject.
Coke zero is worse for your health.
nobody who drinks Coke care for their health.
You prob believe vaping is worse than cigs too
it depends, some vapes are indeed worse than most cigs, i think most can agree with both being bad
Uhm, source??
I love how people just feel like artificial sweeteners must be bad for you. They’re okay. Not healthy, but way better than sugar.
Also: Coke can still be kinda unhealthy, other ingredients etc…

For transparency, here is another page that seems more in favor of Aspartame: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame_controversy
Here’s the conclusion of Yuka, which is a lot more on the “alarmist” side: https://help.yuka.io/l/en/article/r2x5e36paq-aspartame (note that the US FDA is considered as really lax compared to some other countries in Europe in terms of additives and health concerns worldwide)
Many studies show that artificial sweeteners doesn’t help with weight loss at all
Having less calories helps? Those ppl they studied likely didnt practice cico and ate more because they thought they saved calories from drinking less soda so they ended up at maintenence or over
If they studied ppl who thought they were drinking regular soda but it was sugar free than youd see wight loss, but they were aware that it was sugar free and 0 calories so they ate more
Running between the rain drops to not get wet, then diving into the lake.

What did I just watch.
Move like a butterfly, sting like an insulin jab.
I am getting $15 dollar 3.5 grams of weed. You are doing it wrongly. Well weed tax but still.
I do have to say, JD Honey is delicious… can easily drink that on the rocks.
Try American Honey, I definitely give it an edge over JD!
Bleh! Try some makers mark straight up or with ice. It’s still sweet without that corn syrup taste
Ha, no worries. I have a decent selection I’m currently working on:
Blegh, but then it tastes like makers.
How about four roses small batch instead and we forget the sweet.
Real men drink Old Granddad BiB. As a bonus it will make the best Old Fashioned you will ever have.
That’s 2 days? Not a big drinker, are you.
Also, Jack Daniel’s? You don’t like real whiskey? You prefer pretend-whiskey lemonade?
I take it the coke is to mix with the Jack, which is acceptable.
If you’re getting a bottle of Blanton’s for a mixed drink I’m going to punch you in the throat.
Jack is never acceptable. Also, it’s coke zero. That’s disgusting. Proper single malt whiskey is not for mixing but there’s a lot of average blends which are perfect for whiskey coke.
I’ll take a Pappy and RC cola on the rocks, please
KerryGold probably making half the bill, extortion, I tell ye!
Can’t even afford to be an alcoholic to forget about your money problems anymore in this economy
Unironically. Half the appeal of booze has historically been that its cheap.
I kinda wonder how much of the decline of high school/college drinking has to do with sticker shock.
I mean I’m 20, when I have parties with friends (all my age/1-2y younger) we just split the costs. 5€ each max. And we all have a good time (or throw up, because some of my friends aren’t very aware of their limits lol)
Its so expensive to go out now in any city, have to pregame for anything, not spending 30$ on a shot
Yep, it’s very easy and cheap to produce alcohol, the only reason it’s expensive now is due to countries adding high excise taxes and the like to alcoholic drinks
Margins on alcohol sales are fairly high, especially with high rates of industry consolidation over the last decade.
Retail alone collects a 20-30% vig on well standard hard liquor, for instance. Distributors can add another 40%.
The Gray Goose sticker price of $30 for 750mL includes an excise tax of $2.40 So around 8%, by comparison.
Step 1: Wear a ski mask Step 2: Shoplift? Step 3: ??? Step 4: Profit?
(Step 3 is getting caught and becoming a prison slave 🙃; So yes “Profit” just not for you)
Dress up as ICE and state that this is material needed to trap Irish thugs living illegally in the US.
Sooooo a mask, sunglasses, a hoodie and no identification? 🥷
You could also demand to see the kerrygold’s papers, and then leave with it.
At least the butter might come in handy (or by other limbs).
It’s a lot cheaper if you just make your own moonshine instead. Guy on reddit used to post pictures of his 100L water butt bubbling away, cost something stupidly low to fill it considering the volume, like £25 or something like that. Then he distilled it in batches.
The entire setup was comically simple too, like plug and play from parts you can easily buy and ingredients you find in any supermarket.
You can brew your own lager or whatever for cheap too.
Not tried anything like that, generally prefer fermented fruits and bee juice.
Not as cheap as just plain alcohol. But yes, I home brew. Hops and Malt are not cheap, but sugar (insert any fermentable here, rice, cane sugar, corn, potatoes ext…) is.
My friend back when i was like 20 used to just brew some stuff using Alcotec TurboYeast and sugar, and then mixed concentrated fruit squash into it. Came out as like 12% and tasted like fruits, cost under 10p/litre. He was popular at parties
Isn’t that kinda dangerous? Also potentially illegal depending on where you live.
It’s definitely dangerous if you don’t know what you are doing. As in, “you can die” kind of dangerous.
But if you know what you are doing, nah, it’s perfectly safe, and kind of easy to do too.
Probably most definitely illegal in most places too, but if you just shut the f up and don’t blabber about it to everyone you meet or try to sell or give it away, there’s pretty much nothing they can do about it, cause they don’t know about it, and neither does anyone else.
It can make you blind due to high methanol concentrations
This is largely false and due to prohibition era propaganda. You would need to be trying very hard to get enough methanol to be dangerous or deliberately add it.
Sure, if you don’t know what you’re doing. But, as we eliminate all regulations in the US, we gotta learn how to DIY.
Reminds me of a joke I’ve heard from a few people now. “Let’s drink faster, guys, it’s already getting dark.”
Enhanced flavor™
Sure, but anything that involves drinking spirits by the pint is going to be dangerous so who cares?
Only illegal if they catch you. He didn’t record his face.
I don’t get it, you eat better with a couple dozens of eggs
That Tennessee Honey is one of my favorite whiskey drinks. However due to America being a total shit head, I can no longer buy it as I don’t want any of my money going there.
Anybody got an idea of what a good European drink is to replace it with? I drink it straight or when I want something more mellow I mix with fake DrPepper or fake Red Bull.
Drambuie is an old British honey and whisky liqueur.
You can even make something like it youself: https://www.seriouseats.com/diy-drambuie-make-your-own-honey-scotch-liqueur-recipe
Also you can make a Rusty Nail with some ice and a well Scotch.
Have you tried Stag’s Breath Honey and Whisky Liqueur?
I’m sure there are others. Though liquor laws sometimes stiffle innovation so America tends to have more weird experiments of flavor.
Pretty sure Red Bull is Austrian fwiw.
Anyway, there are lots of Irish, Scottish, English whiskeys. Don’t know about honey flavored ones
Yeah I’m having trouble finding the Honey flavored stuff.
I use fake Red Bull because I think it’s overpriced, not because it’s not American.
Oh I feel you, I too think it’s overpriced, also I think it tastes like shit.
Started making my own sloe gin last year, cheapest Aldi gin and then forage for sloes. Fill a large container about half way by volume with the berries and then fill to the top with gin. Seal, turn it to mix a few times and let it sit there for like 3-6 months. Taste and bottle with sugar, quantity depends on how sweet you want it but probably a few hundred g per litre.
Wow I’m going to Aldi tomorrow and will try this!
It’s a bit early in the year to forage for sloe berries. I picked so much when they were in season that I had pretty much filled a freezer shelf. Buying enough gin at once for all that would cost pushing 3 figures. Even at Aldi prices. But at least it should be comfortably over a years supply of berries so that I can restock when they are in season again.
Building my stockpile of gin so that I can ideally have bottles in rotation, plus it would let the gin age for longer if I have more than a years supply at once. I mean it is gin, it’s not like you go through bottles of it each night.
Crown Royal is Canadian. 🤷 Not sure if it’s available where you are though.
Thanks, I’ll look out for that. Seems like the plain whiskey is available just fine, but the honey stuff is harder to find.
Weird, I just had to do this with $65 and ended up getting it to $62 as the total. For a family of 4 for 4 days. It was hard and not the best options, but it worked.
We all need to make sacrifices. They should have gotten a handle of whiskey and drink water.
I can confirm whiskey, coke, butter and a 12-pack of beers is all I need for the week.
