I guess I just got old?


I broke a tooth eating corn nuts on a road trip with my grandparents. Never ate them again.

I really hate combos. Can't believe so many of you like them! I do like Gardettos though.

Just because your junk food, sorry, “light snack” has a French name doesn’t make it not junk food LOL


They are in fact light and airy. And it’s junk food, of course, but is made with real butter and sugar, not chemical oils and HFCS like most of the stuff in this thread.


I find madeleines really heavy. They are chock full of butter.

Combos here too. They are hard to find in grocery stores but can always find them in random rest stops.

I’m going off on a tangent here, but you should order doppio macchiatos. That’s what real cappuccinos taste like in Italy!


I’m OP. That’s what I order. Plain double shot macchiato aka doppio espresso macchiato. Their larger drinks have diminishing returns and aren’t enjoyable to me. Short black coffees and macchiatos for me.
