An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

No bourbon or anything, just spicy ginger ale and sour cherry.

Brands blacked out so as to not be promoting products.

I dislike orange soda despite liking lots of other orange flavored things (there's some background flavor that gets more apparent as i go through a can, making me sick to my stomach) and the other day we got some by accident so I tried it to see if i still disliked it (yep).

To not waste the can, I added some grenadine and whiskey, and the combo overpowered what i disliked about the soda. Good times.

Whiskey with grenadine (cherry) and orange? That’s a varient on the classic Old Fashioned.

Grenadine is pomegranate flavor, not cherry. Though if you get Rose's it's citric acid flavor.

[–] celeste@kbin.earth 1 points 5 days ago

Yeah I figured it would taste close enough to the classics that I'd like it

Ooh, I have blenheim's - gotta figure out where to get the sour cherry from to try this!

Brands I know included to promote products because blenheim hot is delicious

I got my sour cherry at a middle eastern grocery. They had a cool selection.

Not sure what to do with all of these and where they might fit into drink recipes, but it seems like a great opportunity to try something novel.

Have you tried beer and Tang? (Not an April Fool's Day bit, it's actually pretty good).

Was a joke on Married...with Children where they called it a Bundy Mimosa. I had to try it, and it was surprisingly good.
