Hopefully it is just out of stock. They went OOS last year during Covid and I ended up with some horrible stuff that I think was called Avalanche... never again!

What's wrong with a teaspoon of cocoa, couple spoons of sugar, a splash of boiling water to dissolve and topped off with hot milk?

No additives, thickners, etc.

Just yummo.

You are talking to the instant everything generation. Plastic packaging, lots of chemical goodness, pop it into the microwave. Who makes things from ingredients any longer?

Yeah - let's get back to growing and grinding our own cocoa beans, growing and refining our own sugar and rubbing two boy scouts together to start a fire to boil the water. 😄





Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Rubbing boy scouts is frowned upon these days.

To be fair it's always been frowned upon!

Trying to decide whether to update the code to do what the documentation says it does, or whether to update the docs to match what the code currently does.

Avalanche = 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

 

They also make a sugar free version which, as impossible as it sounds, tastes even worse.

Option 3: Update the code comments to not accurately describe what either what the code does or the documentation says.

Bung: At least it's better than assuming that grandparents are elderly like a recent car thread.

 

It's even worse than that.  Young folks these days know nothing about cars - yet assume that "aged" folk know even less.

 

Found a 60 year old "nursery colour picture book" in the basement:

 

 

By the time we'd graduated from the new entrant's class, most of us could - in theory - disassemble and reassemble a car. 50 years later we found out that you didn't need to pretend that cars were made of plastic. Fortunately not clear plastic, nobody really wants to see inside any more, as if it stops working you crush the whole thing into a cube and send it to China, then get a new one that's just as shiny as the one you leaned how to clean during your first days at school.

Buying a new bike, then immediately succumbing to man flu and being unable to ride, despite a weekend of no kids' sports and decent riding weather...grrr

Do I give you a +1 for that, or a -1? How about a +-1 of sympathy?

And you knew where the firebox was, and how to check the boiler tubes, and how to clean out the ashpan hopper, and when to use the sand dome.
