So I lost my regular coffee cup and had to brew my regular brew into a styrofoam cup this morning.

Goddamn it tastes like shit.
Usually it's a pretty good cup of coffee, but the SAME COFFEE tastes a LOT different in a styrofoam cup, and not in a good way.

I had no idea that the cup could affect the flavor so much.

Did you?

Ugh.


This has been a randomly produced and conceived PopTodd thread.®

i always have the urge to bite styrofoam cups, so i avoid them at all costs. i do remember the cool styro containers that mc dlts and big macs used to come in. that was a looooooooong time ago.

hot side stays hot, cool side stays cool.

That's inevitable for me. The only time I really still use styrofoam cups is when I get hot chocolate while we're out getting a Christmas tree.

But as soon as it's empty, I'm making a pattern of bite marks around the top and then slowly breaking off little pieces.

If I buy coffee somewhere I have to pour it into a regular coffee cup to drink it.

So, you're the bastard that lines the toilet-seats at my cinema with toilet-paper before defecating, huh? Well, please, next time, flush that down when you're done.... 'Cause I sure as hell am not touching your plague-ridden germaphobe protection.

This just warmed my cold, cold heart. I'm so happy to hear I'm not the only one.

I hate using styrofoam coolers. The lids never stay on, and the handles rip off.

I also hate styrofoam in packaging, like to protect electronic equipment because it always breaks and leaves static charged, gravity defying dust everywhere.

You know what else I don't recommend drinking coffee out of?

Coconut husks. And the folded hands of a hobo.

It's true, the hobo probably has a spare tin in his bindle. Don't fall for the ol' "I got nothing but hands" bit.

no, actually its because I always burn the shit out of my mouth drinking hot liquids through that little hole in the top. has nothing to do with germs.

as to the tp lining the seats at your cinema:

a. I rarely if ever attend the cinema
b. if you have a problem with this, might I consider a job that doesnt involve cleaning toilets at a movie theater---or at the very least, move yourself over to an adult cinema where your fluid scrubbing will be more appreciated by the patrons.

Actually, yes. Come to think of it, I should start merging duplicate poptodd threads.

Oh wait, there's no merge option, just a split option. So apparently the best I can do is compound the problem.

A) I did not post either the nosehair or toothbrush threads.
B) This thread has actually generated genuine discussion
C) fuck you.
