I have a whole set of straws. I’ve Frankensteined some together - cut a silicone one and wrap around a steel one so the steel doesn’t bash against the steel cup. Also cut the silicone up diagonally if it’s long, it’s so it isn’t flat against the bottom of the cup.

I had a pizza delivered with no sauce on it once and I, for some reason, figured it was my own fault for making changes to the base sauce (I wanted tomato and herb on a Texas bbq… I know it’s in the title but it’s just 1 change) I should have called them but it was late

The advert shows them putting the bubbly dish from their bubbly hand onto the drying rack. The emphasis was on how it kept your skin soft. But they never rinsed it. It doesn’t say not to but either way they don’t, and despite what it says on the bottle, ppl have mirrored an advert.

Similar experience for me. My doctor told me during the earlier stages of my drinking, that I would die horribly. I didn’t care tbh. Late 20s I wanted to sort myself out, stopped drinking and worked on my health but there was still something not right. I’m glad I looked into it when I did, the wait times were still long, but not the 2+ years they are now.
