They were nice people, but sometimes it's just like damn shut the hell up lol.

I'm Venezuelan and my family is loud also but not nearly as loud lol. If it were on a 1-10 scale my family is like a 7 and PR's are like a 10 lol.



** Disclamer: No offense to any PRs out there (ahem....unbrainwashed..ahem) I actually think PR people are nice for the most part, just very loud lol.

My brother's girlfriend is Puerto Rican. Not loud at all like the stereotype. She's actually very boring. Either one extreme or the other.

You eat those? Hyi vittu. Disgusting.

E471: Mono- and Diglycerides of Fatty Acids
E472e: Acetic, Lactic, Citric, Tartaric, Mono- and Diacetyltartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of Fatty Acids. - to be avoided
E300: Ascorbic Acid (organic)
E325: Sodium Lactate (biochemical, organic)
E331: Sodium Citrates (lemon acid 1)
E407a: Carrageenan (seaweed)
E451: Triphosphates (chemical) - to be avoided
E330: Citric Acid (lemon acid 2, organic)
E224: Potassium (Kalium)
E415: Xanthan Gum - emulgating agent
E200: Sorbic Acid (organic, produced chemically)
E270: Lactic Acid


While most are simply for aesthetic reasons and keeping the sandwich somewhat fresh, they are still additives. For example triphosphates have a daily recommended dose. While the EU legislation bans some colours, like E128, which is used in the US, most of those are completely harmless and from an organic source. The question is... would you pour over some xanthan or sodium lactate before you hand over a sandwich to your friend? No. Why the need for then? For industrial and shelf life reasons and to reduce costs. OTH, some like E300 are a godsend, as it prevents premature rotting.

I hate when I drink a cup of coffee, and I feel even more sleepy afterwards.

[dunno what to put here]

I hate coffee, it's gross.

[alex985]

I used to hate coffee, but have grown to like over the last couple of years. More for the effects of it rather than the taste.

I like hot chocolate / milk for hot beverages. Prefer in the 52-58 C (125-136 F) range for first serving. Hot in the touch but can still drinkable. Above 60C can be quite dangerous (burn)

[jgtheone]

Coffee is awesome, especially cappuccinos

[alex985]

I like espressos. I think I'm spoiled by the Cuban coffee here in Miami lol

[Donar]

Coffee is meh.
I only drink tap water or alcoholic beverages.
