Had that once, didn't like it. I think Tito's is clean, I'm happy with it, at much lower cost than the French stuff the wife likes.

Well, rum certainly isn't going to taste like vodka, not much comparison there. But you should absolutely drink what you enjoy.

In general I don't like rum drinks, way too sugary, and anything with sugar deliberately added I can only take in small doses so both caiprinha and caipiroska are not normally in my rotation.

Only sugary drink I'll have regularly is a gin and tonic. But that's medicinal so it's aok!

I do try and avoid sugar in my diet to the extent possible, but I like G&Ts as well.

The fructose thing has some fairly definitive bases to avoid the stuff.

Seems like all the mainstream tonic waters use some kind of HFCS for sweetening (unless you're talking the diet versions which use artifical sweeteners, but those taste gross to me). Consequently I've switched to the more expensive tonic waters just to get the cane sugar instead.

Fever Tree is what we normally have around the house, but only the straight version, none of the flavored ones. If I want the taste of elderflower I'll add it with St. Germain, not the tonic itself.

I like a few drops of lime juice with my vodka, I'd just leave out the sugar

I also get a hankering for some fast food item once every 3-4-5 months. I usually lie down and take a nap instead.

I rarely eat fast food. But my wife and I do have a tradition on road trips. McDonald's breakfast is known to us as "road trip food". I don't think she'd eat a McGriddles any other time, but looks forward to it on road trips.

don't remember the last time I had fast food, but I'm sure it was on a road trip and the person I was traveling with talked me into it.

won't happen again, I hope

We'll get Burger King when driving to see my family, because Ohio Turnpike, and small kids. That's it though. I can't remember the last time I had it otherwise. I used to crave it, but would resist, but I honestly don't even anymore. If I'm going to trash my body with bad food, it's cheap Chinese or chain pizza over fast food.

I used to grab "happy meals" at the drive thru and habd them into the backseat for my daughters when they were young. I didn't order anything for myself. I would clean up the leftovers if needed.

Yup we do McDonald's on road trips. The kids also like Chic fil A nuggets so I'll grab those maybe once per month. Other than that, very little fast food for us.

About once every 6 months I'll admit I do crave a Whataburger. And sometimes I give in.

After going to Texas in September and having both my first In and Out and my first Whattaburger, I don't get the hype over Whattaburger at all. In and Out? I'm glad we don't have those around.

We had lunch at a new place nearby called "Farmburger". It's in the basement of a Whole Foods. It was quite good, and they have solid beer selection.

Service was excellent, and that matters.

The main problem I learned about computer polls is that you cannot "know" the "right answer". I don't see any way to validate a computer poll. What does it predict? If it's early in the season, you don't have enough data. If it's late, you have only a few weeks to predict and often the games are close to sure things anyway.

Maybe over years you could test your computer poll in say week 11 against some final poll, but the bowl game results tend to shake up rankings, and do you use the AP poll as your final "right answer"?

I definitely think In n Out is worth their hype. among the better burgers you can buy from a fast food joint for sure. That said their french fries are very meh. I like Whataburger just fine myself but Texans are strangely biased towards them, I don't get it. Simply comparing burger to burger they don't even come close to In n Out, however I'll definitely give Whataburger the credit for having superior fries and a much more diverse menu (breakfast and chicken items).

And I know it's not good but all admit to liking white castle. I'm actually excited about the one that opened up in Scottsdale but since I hate crowds more than I like White Castle I'm going to wait until the hype settles down however long that takes.
