What's the puppy-kicking speech.
The "You're very sweet/nice/cute, but I'm just not that into you." speech. The one where you feel bad, hence the puppy-kicking feeling.

Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Well, that kind of puppy kicking is unfortunate but necessary at times. I'll just clarify that I'm against literal puppy kicking.

Always Anti-fascist!
My puppy's been kicked a little too often.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
There's more than one way to kick a puppy.
And I happen to know that's factually true.

All is well that ends in pizza.
They sugar-coat craisins? Crazy. I was equating them with unsweetened cranberry juice, my head. Huh.

cranberries are way too tart to be mass-marketed to the public without sugar. Which is why it is harder (IME) to find unsweetened cranberry juice, and why it tastes godawful (IMO). Ocean Spray probably uses as much sugar as cranberry in their assorted products.

Yeah - you generally have to go to a natural foods store to find it. I think Trader Joe's carries it, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It would be nice if they could sweeten them less. When I substitute them for raisins in cookies, I have to drop the sugar added quite a bit. Thought I could eat them straight out of the bag, but no can do.
