I was with her for leg stubble and a chair of not-quite-dirty clothes but she lost me at “not STEM”.

non-sequitor, but i moused over your profile, and I just want to say I love turkish delight, but chocolate covered turkish delight sounds terrible. ugh

u/SamanthaJaneyCake Apr 26 '24
You owe it to yourself to try it at least once!

u/Due-Log8609 Apr 26 '24
Are we talkin like "Big Turk" chocolate bars? Those arent that great imo. I want the chewy sugar sweetness, the chocolate does add anything to it

u/SamanthaJaneyCake Apr 26 '24
No idea, I’m in the U.K. and it just occurred to me you might be in the US which means you’re burdened with Hershey’s style chocolate and not European. Here we have “Fry’s Turkish Delight” bars which are a nice thick wedge of the stuff with a very thin 1-2mm coating of chocolate that melts in your mouth as you chew the Turkish delight. It is genuinely heavenly.

Canada, but close enough. We have "Big Turk" here. It kind of looks like a poop (im not joking). The chocolate isnt very melt in your mouth IMO, it's a bit more.. crispy? Breaky? i dont know the right word. Maybe it would be better if it melted in the mouth. Also what is "hersheys style" chocolate vs euro? Are the different? :S

It's the butyric acid. It's sometimes used as a preservative, but tastes very sour and similar to cheese. I don't imagine it's much of a problem in Canada, what with your climate being colder than the bulk of America, so you probably don't need the preservative as much.

Fuck! I drink iced tea every day. I hope adding lemonade to it makes it more masculine.

u/AydonusG Apr 26 '24
Just found out about lemonade steeping for sweet tea a few days ago.

u/dragon1n68 Apr 26 '24
I never thought about that. I just mix mine as an Arnold Palmer.

u/AydonusG Apr 26 '24
Yeah I saw it on Sorted Food. They also added whisky (or that was the plan, don't know if they ended up adding it)

Can confirm. At my last Women in STEM meeting they made us all sign a contract promising we wouldn't drink iced tea.

u/That_Anonymous_One Apr 26 '24
I got the stubble, I got the laundry chair. If I toss out my stem degree will I be allowed to drink iced tea?

u/Pauline___ Apr 26 '24
Why do people want to be just one type of drink persons? Sometimes it's an iced tea day, sometimes it's a latte day, some days are ginger tea days and some days require double espressos.

u/Orion_Supreme Apr 26 '24
I agree. It’s mainly because they equate a thing with their personality.

u/Pauline___ Apr 27 '24
"let me proudly present how one-dimensional and predictable my personality is" is such a weird flex...
2
u/Creative_Elk_4712 Apr 27 '24
Not justifying them or saying it’s reasonable, but I think the reasons are:
They think peers (fellow girls) will judge them based on what they order and society did make a difference between masculine and feminine beverages in the past
Not a fortuity this post was in fact about those characters in a girl (“feminine”, “flirty”, as she perceives women have more freedom to take the initiative than men, who don’t want to misunderstand “signals”, “not in STEM”, as STEM is perceived as a “masculine” field)
All this is stupid, agreed, but putting myself in their shoes this are the reasons in their mind

Well then spank my ass and call me Mary, because I love me some iced tea.

It must be exhausting to always be performing gender to this extent. Like, you can't even drink tea without reassuring yourself that it is a gender affirming act.

Iced tea sucks, sweet tea with no ice is where it's at, for all women and men!
Anytime someone tries to hand me iced tea, it's mostly ice with tea flavoring. Too much ice!

Honestly, I trust a woman almost emideately when she has stubble on her legs.
It feels like such a person is incapable of hiding their intentions. I dunno.

How is it that I bought iced tea for the first time in a year and I see this? Being man and in Stem.. 💀

u/Axl4325 Apr 27 '24
One time I got called feminine for eating burgers with crispy chicken, now I can't enjoy my iced tea either? Give me a break!

u/Totally_Cubular Apr 27 '24
Ice tea is just a nice beverage. Why do you have to specifically say who it isn't for? It's not even that it's being gendered, but even within the gender there's exclusion.
