I want it. Steak N Shake's caramel pretzel milkshakes are yummy enough even without chocolate being added.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Fri Feb 07, 2014 5:33 am

Caramel, pretzel and chocolate? That doesn't sound like a good combo to me. But then, I am used to pretzels either being small, crispy, salty things or large salty bread things, neither of which would probably go with those flavours, although I do hear that you Americans like your caramel salted rather than sweet...

Post by **Sleet** » Fri Feb 07, 2014 11:31 am

Salted caramel is just a trendy thing right now. It tastes pretty much exactly like normal caramel does, and is still sweet. Our concepts of pretzels are the same; the milkshake is caramel flavored and has little bits of the small, crispy kind of pretzel in it and it sounds gross but it's actually not.

Salt and sweet tastes' combination is, if I am concerned, a great thing. Unusual enough to interest you, not too wildly different to put off someone who first tries it

Can also recommend going for snacks made out of REALLY sweet fruits (like melons and whatnot) with some salty cheese, or smoked ham, or something along these lines. Or, if you are a fan of mass-produced snacks, I saw Alpen Gold and Ritter Sport being sold with some salty-tasting "fillings" in their chocolate bars (true for Europe, no idea on other regions; You may need to change brands slightly).

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Fri Feb 07, 2014 7:47 pm

I've never heard of those brands, VEB.
Sleet: I'll have to take your word for it.

Hey, has anyone had KFC Crushers? THey're basically thickshakes with various things crushed into them. My favourite is the Golden Gaytime crusher. Golden Gaytime is a caramel icecream with chocolate and sweet biscuits on the outside and so the GG crusher is a thickshake that tastes like those icecreams. They're so good! I don't know if they're just an Aussie thing though...

So, you've never had chocolate covered pretzels? Or is this a thing only found in America?

I like my chocolate spicy. I've had a few good chocolate bars with some chili pepper in them, but I've yet to try a chocolate covered jalapeño.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sat Feb 08, 2014 5:26 am

Never. Must be American, I guess.

I can't say I'd enjoy chocolate coated chillies either. I like my chocolate either sweet or slightly bitter (if it's dark).

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Feb 08, 2014 11:13 am

Chocolate with chili peppers doesn't seem too appealing to me. That's also become pretty trendy recently.

A local grocery store sells bacon dipped in chocolate syrup or maple-flavored candy substance.

Post by **Sleet** » Sun Feb 09, 2014 4:34 pm

That sounds disgusting. *gags*

That sounds good and bad at the same time.

That sounds wonderful!

Though the quality of the chocolate would affect my outlook some.

Bacon is on/in everything these days, it's getting old.
Time to move on to a different food... how about jam? Lets see how many different things you can put that on.

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Tue Feb 11, 2014 6:43 am

I just dare you to do the same with Mustard. Lots and lots of mustard.

VEB152 · Post by **VEB152** » Tue Feb 11, 2014 2:18 pm

Mix both and add vinegar, getting some kind of marinade?

Mickey the Luxray · Post by **Mickey the Luxray** » Tue Feb 11, 2014 5:14 pm

Bacon and cheese is really good. Also cheese fries with bacon. Also bacon cheeseburgers. Also bacon on pizza. Also bacon and grilled cheese sandwiches. Mmmmm...

Post by **Sleet** » Thu Feb 13, 2014 1:34 am

I like all those things sans bacon.

Aarden · Post by **Aarden** » Sun Feb 16, 2014 3:00 pm

After having made some myself, bacon with cinnamon and bacon with brown sugar are both awesome

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Feb 18, 2014 3:35 pm

There's a donut shop around here that sells maple bacon donuts and apparently they're really popular.

Elly would be in or near Heaven, with all this bacon talk.

Poor E. I miss him.

I really like Bacon, but not as much as cheese. Bacon with cheese, however, is wonderful on a egg sandwich. And hash browns.

chocolate Bacon, while sounding heavenly, soundingly tastes weird.

Kateleo007 · Post by **Kateleo007** » Tue Feb 18, 2014 9:56 pm

I don't really understand this bacon fad. Ice cream, however, is a fad I'd join wholeheartedly.

So I tried to start Sonichu. Needless to say I failed. I swear, just looking at it's TVTropes page makes Starkit's Prophecy look like To Kill a Mockingbird in comparison. And that's downright impressive.

Post by **Sleet** » Wed Feb 19, 2014 11:27 pm

It's pretty awful. Also not something we should be discussing here. Topic change, yes?

I'm excited I get to play my concert Friday. I finally got off work for one. ^_^

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Thu Feb 20, 2014 9:48 pm

Yay! It's always good to get a bit more free time.
What kind of concert is it, Sleet?

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Feb 22, 2014 1:20 am

It's a short 30 minute set. A rock concert, to be specific. We played great and I had a ton of fun! I missed playing, so it was good getting back on stage again.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sat Feb 22, 2014 2:48 am

Cool! What kind of rock? Heavy stuff more classic/light stuff?
I play saxophone myself (although my dog used to disagree

) and I always enjoy performing too.

hypernovatic · Post by **hypernovatic** » Sat Feb 22, 2014 10:52 am

My brother plays alto, tenor, and bari saxophones. I myself play trombone.

Kateleo007 · Post by **Kateleo007** » Sat Feb 22, 2014 7:51 pm

I used to play the trumpet in elementary school, can sorta play the drums by ear, and I can play a mean jug.

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Sat Feb 22, 2014 8:51 pm

I can play drums well, but I only recall my flute lessons in Grade 3. =3

I should play a violin or Piano someday. game music has taught me it's the tune I like the most.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sat Feb 22, 2014 11:12 pm

Trombone is cool. My sister plays trombone.

Hey, did you know you can play "Flight of the Bumblebee" on trombone? Just make sure your pianist isn't allergic.

Apparently you can also sing it or play it with your feet!

It's pretty light pop punk with a few covers that range from more classic stuff to some of the gentler types of metal.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sun Feb 23, 2014 3:15 am

Cool. Sounds like you get a bit of variety.
Are you a bit of a celebrity or just a local favourite?

In partial answer to the above question, consider why Sleet may be protective of her identity. ;3

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sun Feb 23, 2014 6:33 am

That would explain some things. I didn't expect her/him (I always thought he/she hadn't revealed his/her gender?) to reveal anything though. I would have been quite satisfied with a yes or no. But I can see how even that could be more revealing than I had originally thought so I won't even expect a response now.

So... in other news... has anyone here had their wisdom teeth out? I had mine done recently and it HURTS!

Mine are chomping away at things quite happily.

Teeth, yes. Organs... No.
