I was just viciously conned by a canned iced tea. It said 3g sugar so I thought, "Oh good, just a tiny bit sweet".... No. Oh no. Turns out its frekkin Stevia and now my mouth tastes like ashes as bitter as my cold, dead, heart.
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

That’s scary askye! Good luck.
I am two words away from queen bee in the spelling today! Will let them percolate in the back of my brain for a bit. But got wordle in 6 by the skin of my teeth.
My leftovers are tasty (and though $20 it was SO much food) but really need more sauce. Next time!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

You lost me at the word "canned."
Iced tea is evidence that Americans are crazy. We brew a perfectly good pot of strong dark tea. Then we pour it over ice to make it cold and weak. We put sugar in it to make it sweet, then we add lemon juice to make it sour. Then we add mint to make it green.
I may be crazy, but I'm not thirsty.

Ugh. Stevia makes me feel like my tongue is wearing a sweater. That and tonic water.
