Arrr, buccaneers, the drinks are on me in today's QOTD but before we start with the thirst quenchers we have:
THE BATTLE OF THE HARDEST TONGUE TWISTERS
M.I.T. says this is the hardest tongue twister to say:
"Pad kid poured curd pulled cod."
But, The Guinness Book of World Records says this is the hardest tongue twister to say:
"The sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick."
- Saying both of them, at your normal reading speed, which of the two is the hardest for you to say and wouldn't you rather be the she who sells seashells by the seashore after reading the above two?
DRINK QUESTIONS
The following questions are about your preferences and taste and not about what's not good/good for you.
- What alcoholic drink that is not wine or beer, do you or did you like the best based on taste, alone?
- Do you like lemonade? - If yes, do you prefer yellow lemonade or pink lemonade (includes raspberry flavor) or do you like both the same?
- Have you had a cup of hot chocolate yet in the last 3 months of 2023? - Do you have any in your home right now?
I don't know anyone who drinks both Coca Cola and Pepsi Cola so set me straight.
- If you are going to buy a single cup or glass of cola, at a restaurant or fast food place, does it have to be one or the other or you don't care because you drink both brands of cola? - If you live with one or more people, and if cola drinks are purchased at the supermarket/grocery store, does the shopper in your home buy Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola, some other cola or is it possible that we would find more than one kind of cola in your refrigerator? - Do you ever choose a burger place or pizza place to eat in (or for takeout or delivery) based on whether they have Coca Cola products or Pepsi Cola products for their sodas or juices?
- If you drink beer at home, do you prefer to drink it from a can, bottle or glass/stein/mug?
- If you drink chocolate milk, do you add the chocolate yourself or do you buy chocolate milk in the milk section of your supermarket/grocery store?
When I was a kid, everyone in my family was a coffee drinker except me and I rarely drank hot tea or even iced tea back in those days. My mother kept loose sugar, to put on the kitchen table, in a glass sugar bowl with a plastic lid and a slot/section, in that lid, for a small serving spoon.
- How was sugar put on the table in your home when you were a kid?
- How is sugar put on the table in your home, now? Is the sugar for hot and/or cold drinks:
loose?
in some kind of bowl or container?
in cubes?
in packets?
liquid?
other?
If you drink water from a bottle:
- Do you buy it by the case, in a six pack/8 pack or single bottles?
- How much water is in the bottles you purchase?
- How long does it take you to finish a bottle of water when you are home, that is, do you drink it all down right away, takes you awhile to finish it or it goes back in the refrigerator when you've had enough?
- Do you ever put a water bottle in the cup holder of your car. When?
- How many hours or minutes would you drink a whole bottle of water before you went to sleep for the night? How about your last cup of coffee?
- Of the drinks mentioned above: alcoholic, lemonade, Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola, coffee, beer, hot chocolate, tea, bottled water, chocolate milk, do you drink a less fat, less sugar, environmentally friendly product or container or light version of the original? If you do, is it because you like the taste better, allergies, you drink whatever the person who lives with you drinks, it's cheaper, the doctor told you to do it because of a health condition or your age, advertising or because of peer pressure regarding what's better for you?

- What alcoholic drink that is not wine or beer, do you or did you like the best based on taste, alone?
used to like whiskey sours
- Do you like lemonade?
seldom. One of the few things I'll make rather than buy. Boughten ones are way too sweet.

yellow.
- Have you had a cup of hot chocolate yet in the last 3 months of 2023? - Do you have any in your home right now?

used to prefer Pepsi but don't drink colas any more. Seldom have soda of any kind.
- If you live with one or more people, and if cola drinks are purchased at the supermarket/grocery store, does the shopper in your home buy Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola, some other cola or is it possible that we would find more than one kind of cola in your refrigerator?
I live alone. You wouldn't find any kind.
- Do you ever choose a burger place or pizza place to eat in (or for takeout or delivery) based on whether they have Coca Cola products or Pepsi Cola products for their sodas or juices?
nope. There's always water.
- If you drink beer at home, do you prefer to drink it from a can, bottle or glass/stein/mug?
N/A
- If you drink chocolate milk, do you add the chocolate yourself or do you buy chocolate milk in the milk section of your supermarket/grocery store?
maybe once every five yrs or so I'll buy a quart of chocolate milk.
When I was a kid, everyone in my family was a coffee drinker except me and I rarely drank hot tea or even iced tea back in those days. My mother kept loose sugar, to put on the kitchen table, in a glass sugar bowl with a plastic lid and a slot/section, in that lid, for a small serving spoon.
- How was sugar put on the table in your home when you were a kid?
sugar bowl with a lid

- How many hours or minutes would you drink a whole bottle of water before you went to sleep for the night? How about your last cup of coffee?
I buy it by the case. Usually have bottles spread throughout the house and never in the refrigerator. There's usually a bottle in the car cup holder. Not a coffee drinker but just a few swallows before bed for a couple of pills.
- Of the drinks mentioned above: alcoholic, lemonade, Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola, coffee, beer, hot chocolate, tea, bottled water, chocolate milk, do you drink a less fat, less sugar, environmentally friendly product or container or light version of the original? If you do, is it because you like the taste better, allergies, you drink whatever the person who lives with you drinks, it's cheaper, the doctor told you to do it because of a health condition or your age, advertising or because of peer pressure regarding what's better for you?
Mostly water. Partly preference partly at the doctor's suggestion.

- Saying both of them, at your normal reading speed, which of the two is the hardest for you to say and wouldn't you rather be the she who sells seashells by the seashore after reading the above two? I think the second one is a little trickier.
DRINK QUESTIONS
The following questions are about your preferences and taste and not about what's not good/good for you.
- What alcoholic drink that is not wine or beer, do you or did you like the best based on taste, alone? Margaritas - Do you like lemonade? Yes
- If yes, do you prefer yellow lemonade or pink lemonade (includes raspberry flavor) or do you like both the same? I prefer yellow but don't mind pink. I didn't know the pink was from raspberry. I always thought it was just food coloring. Thanks for the information. - Have you had a cup of hot chocolate yet in the last 3 months of 2023? Not yet, but I will.
- Do you have any in your home right now? Yes, a box of Swiss Miss and some Dutch process cocoa so I could also make my own.
I don't know anyone who drinks both Coca Cola and Pepsi Cola so set me straight.
- If you are going to buy a single cup or glass of cola, at a restaurant or fast food place, does it have to be one or the other or you don't care because you drink both brands of cola? Although I don't normally drink soda, I have always been Team Pepsi. Coke is OK, too. I'm not fussy about things like that.
- If you live with one or more people, and if cola drinks are purchased at the supermarket/grocery store, does the shopper in your home buy Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola, some other cola or is it possible that we would find more than one kind of cola in your refrigerator? I'm the shopper, and you would not normally find any cola in our refrigerator. I do have some flavored sparkling water on hand.
- Do you ever choose a burger place or pizza place to eat in (or for takeout or delivery) based on whether they have Coca Cola products or Pepsi Cola products for their sodas or juices? No, I usually don't have soda with pizza so it doesn't matter. - If you drink beer at home, do you prefer to drink it from a can, bottle or glass/stein/mug? I'm a wine drinker, but if I did drink beer I would prefer a bottle or a chilled mug. - If you drink chocolate milk, do you add the chocolate yourself or do you buy chocolate milk in the milk section of your supermarket/grocery store? Oooh, chocolate milk! I haven't had any in ages. I like both the homemade and store varieties.
When I was a kid, everyone in my family was a coffee drinker except me and I rarely drank hot tea or even iced tea back in those days. My mother kept loose sugar, to put on the kitchen table, in a glass sugar bowl with a plastic lid and a slot/section, in that lid, for a small serving spoon.
- How was sugar put on the table in your home when you were a kid? It was in a Melmac sugar bowl but was normally not kept on the table.
- How is sugar put on the table in your home, now? Is the sugar for hot and/or cold drinks: I have a sugar bowl in the same pattern as my dinnerware. It lives in the kitchen cupboard with the rest of the dishes and only comes out when we need it, which isn't that often. I keep brown sugar in it because we use it when we're having hot cereal for breakfast.
I also have some packets of Splenda that I use in hot or iced tea.
If you drink water from a bottle:
- Do you buy it by the case, in a six pack/8 pack or single bottles? I rarely buy bottled water because our tap water is good quality.
- How much water is in the bottles you purchase? I think the standard bottles hold about 15 oz? I usually drink water from a glass.
- How long does it take you to finish a bottle of water when you are home, that is, do you drink it all down right away, takes you awhile to finish it or it goes back in the refrigerator when you've had enough? It usually takes me a long time to drink a glass of water unless I'm really, really thirsty.
- Do you ever put a water bottle in the cup holder of your car. When? I have a steel water bottle that goes in the cup holder when I drive to the gym.
- How many hours or minutes would you drink a whole bottle of water before you went to sleep for the night? How about your last cup of coffee? They say it's best not to drink for a few hours before bed, so I try not to.
- Of the drinks mentioned above: alcoholic, lemonade, Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola, coffee, beer, hot chocolate, tea, bottled water, chocolate milk, do you drink a less fat, less sugar, environmentally friendly product or container or light version of the original? If you do, is it because you like the taste better, allergies, you drink whatever the person who lives with you drinks, it's cheaper, the doctor told you to do it because of a health condition or your age, advertising or because of peer pressure regarding what's better for you? The only diet or light beverage I drink is diet lemonade. Carbonated diet drinks always make me hungry afterward, which defeats the purpose, doesn't it? We don't even buy low-fat milk.

I go for taste.(I am sure sooner or later my Doctor will tell me not to drink this or that or the other....so I am going to enjoy myself while I can!)
Sayonara until next Monday.
Thanks for the questions!
It also brings back the memory from a few years back when My Son and some of his peers were running around to every Grocery store in town looking for 'Mexican Coke'....I am like "What the heck is that? You all aren't out looking for some kind of drug are you?" They laughed...but I was told that Mexican Coke is just coke made in Mexico, and it is made with pure cane sugar(I guess kind of like our cokes from the old days)...It was the first time my Son had tried it, he said it was really good.

I buy my water from the local organic market's water machine. Better for me as I like a close to 50-50 mix, warm and cold.
Now Perrier is different. I drink that slowly from their 11.15 oz. bottle (sold in 4-packs) through my glass straw. I can pretend I am rich that way, LOL. I like plain, unflavored and average one every other day.

DRINK QUESTIONS
The following questions are about your preferences and taste and not about what's not good/good for you.
- What alcoholic drink that is not wine or beer, do you or did you like the best based on taste, alone? Irish Creme liqueur
- Do you like lemonade? Yes - If yes, do you prefer yellow lemonade or pink lemonade (includes raspberry flavor) or do you like both the same? Both the same. Pink lemonade holds a sweet spot in my heart--I worked in a shoe factory one Summer. Most workers disliked the summer workers--they knew we were just there for the Summer and would go back to school. The one woman next to me--she was always very kind to me. I would go on break and she would always leave a small dixie cup of her homemade pink lemonade for me with a minature chocolate bar at my station. My last day I brought her flowers and a thank you card--she cried. It was a bit of a hard core factory, the Supervisors were mainly jerks. I was a bit of a shy young girl, I am glad I had the courage to make her feel appreciated.
- Have you had a cup of hot chocolate yet in the last 3 months of 2023? I have not. - Do you have any in your home right now? Actually I bought some "hot chocolate morsels" in Belgium last week for the Holidays!

- If you are going to buy a single cup or glass of cola, at a restaurant or fast food place, does it have to be one or the other or you don't care because you drink both brands of cola?
Ah cola--haven't had it for over ten years , I quit soda cold turkey. How I miss it! It would not matter which one. - If you live with one or more people, and if cola drinks are purchased at the supermarket/grocery store, does the shopper in your home buy Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola, some other cola or is it possible that we would find more than one kind of cola in your refrigerator? You won't find any soda in our home. - Do you ever choose a burger place or pizza place to eat in (or for takeout or delivery) based on whether they have Coca Cola products or Pepsi Cola products for their sodas or juices?
- If you drink beer at home, do you prefer to drink it from a can, bottle or glass/stein/mug? Not a beer drinker--if I had to have it, I would need a glass.
- If you drink chocolate milk, do you add the chocolate yourself or do you buy chocolate milk in the milk section of your supermarket/grocery store? Haven't had chocolate milk in a long, long time. I would make it with milk and Hershey syrup.
When I was a kid, everyone in my family was a coffee drinker except me and I rarely drank hot tea or even iced tea back in those days. My mother kept loose sugar, to put on the kitchen table, in a glass sugar bowl with a plastic lid and a slot/section, in that lid, for a small serving spoon.

If you drink water from a bottle:

- How much water is in the bottles you purchase? The small ones.
- How long does it take you to finish a bottle of water when you are home, that is, do you drink it all down right away, takes you awhile to finish it or it goes back in the refrigerator when you've had enough? Never cold water--varies how long. Never gulp it down.
- Do you ever put a water bottle in the cup holder of your car. When? I put a cup of water in the holder for my commute to work or if I am on a longer drive.
- How many hours or minutes would you drink a whole bottle of water before you went to sleep for the night? An hour or so...
How about your last cup of coffee? Last cup of coffee has to be before 11am.
- Of the drinks mentioned above: alcoholic, lemonade, Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola, coffee, beer, hot chocolate, tea, bottled water, chocolate milk, do you drink a less fat, less sugar, environmentally friendly product or container or light version of the original? If you do, is it because you like the taste better, allergies, you drink whatever the person who lives with you drinks, it's cheaper, the doctor told you to do it because of a health condition or your age, advertising or because of peer pressure regarding what's better for you?
I have one cup of coffee in the morning with light cream. One cup of ginger/turmeric tea later in the morning with some honey. Rest of the day--filtered water.

DRINK QUESTIONS

What alcoholic drink that is not wine or beer, do you or did you like the best based on taste, alone?
I prefer straight for health reasons, but I ENJOY cocktails.
Do you like lemonade?
Homemade with limited sugar and real juices - yes.
If yes, do you prefer yellow lemonade or pink lemonade (includes raspberry flavor) or do you like both the same?
Whatever juice I have at hand. It's usually some mix berry juice.
Have you had a cup of hot chocolate yet in the last 3 months of 2023?
Made me one last week, and found it sweeter and heavier than usual. They probably changed the ingredients.
Do you have any in your home right now?
Yes. The same. But not looking for to have another cup.
I don't know anyone who drinks both Coca Cola and Pepsi Cola so set me straight.
If you are going to buy a single cup or glass of cola, at a restaurant or fast food place, does it have to be one or the other or you don't care because you drink both brands of cola?
Not going to buy it, but I would have a regional preference for Pepsi.
If you live with one or more people, and if cola drinks are purchased at the supermarket/grocery store, does the shopper in your home buy Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola, some other cola or is it possible that we would find more than one kind of cola in your refrigerator?
We don't buy any of them. Don't have any at home.
Do you ever choose a burger place or pizza place to eat in (or for takeout or delivery) based on whether they have Coca Cola products or Pepsi Cola products for their sodas or juices?
No. I never eat at any of those places.
If you drink beer at home, do you prefer to drink it from a can, bottle or glass/stein/mug?
I always drink it from a glass - at home and I request a glass at any other place.
If you drink chocolate milk, do you add the chocolate yourself or do you buy chocolate milk in the milk section of your supermarket/grocery store?
I prefer to just add organic (real) chocolate unsweetened syrup. I might make my chocolate milk from a dark chocolate bar.
When I was a kid, everyone in my family was a coffee drinker except me and I rarely drank hot tea or even iced tea back in those days. My mother kept loose sugar, to put on the kitchen table, in a glass sugar bowl with a plastic lid and a slot/section, in that lid, for a small serving spoon.
- How was sugar put on the table in your home when you were a kid?
The designated sugar bowl, a part of the tea set. Although it was only put out at tea time (around 4PM or so)
- How is sugar put on the table in your home, now? Is the sugar for hot and/or cold drinks:
Sugar is in a sugar bowl, on the kitchen counter. I add about 1/4 teaspoon to my hot tea.
loose? Yes.
in some kind of bowl or container? Yes.
in cubes? Specialty sugar for guests
in packets? No.
liquid? No.
other?
If you drink water from a bottle:
- Do you buy it by the case, in a six pack/8 pack or single bottles?
I buy water at Costco - 48 bottle pack.
- How much water is in the bottles you purchase?
500ml
- How long does it take you to finish a bottle of water when you are home, that is, do you drink it all down right away, takes you awhile to finish it or it goes back in the refrigerator when you've had enough?
Depends if I am really thirsty. I mostly use bottled water to make tea. So I use two bottles per kettle. There is no water in my fridge for me to drink. I don't like it that cold.
I do keep water there for my landscaper when he comes to do the lawn.
- Do you ever put a water bottle in the cup holder of your car. When?
Very seldom. For a longer trip I usually make hot tea and keep it in an insulated (container) bottle.

I drink my last 24 floz hot black tea just before going to bed.
- Of the drinks mentioned above: alcoholic, lemonade, Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola, coffee, beer, hot chocolate, tea, bottled water, chocolate milk, do you drink a less fat, less sugar, environmentally friendly product or container or light version of the original?
I pay attention to that. Drink 2% fat raw milk, other drinks are sugarless (not containing any sugar, even artificial). Hot chocolate I sweeten to taste with organic sugar, and drink organic teas. I recycle the containers (bottles, cans, boxes)
If you do, is it because you like the taste better, allergies, you drink whatever the person who lives with you drinks, it's cheaper, the doctor told you to do it because of a health condition or your age, advertising or because of peer pressure regarding what's better for you?
It's better for my health and personal choices. I don't care what anyone else says.
