I ordered "Sakura Latte" from Yamibuy. I knew the packaging was going to be in Japanese but I figured I'd figure out the mixing instructions when it got here.

Kbit offered to translate it for me with his phone and Lens in the photo app. The quality of the picture matters, though, because here is his... interesting translation:

[ID: English text over blurry Kanji read "cute" "and sweet oy" "how to eat delicious" "hot" " Leo please let me 100" "ice" and "Kuda". End ID.]

Leo, please let me what now? Hot.

It looks like a prompt starter for a steamy fic. Oh dear.

When you line up the package well and focus on one area, it translates a lot better:

[ID: A view of the Google Lens window. English text now covers the Kanji in a useful translation of mixing instructions for "Latte Sakura" as either a hot or iced drink. End ID.]

Does this count as a coffee shop AU?

Cinnamon Toast Crunch released a spreadable cinnamon-sugar "butter" and (with Kbit making heart-eyes at it) I figured, why not indulge. Cinnamon-sugar and butter on bread was always a fave of mine.

The stuff is good.

But ohhhhh is it ever Too Damn Sweet XD

I had him prep me two pieces and I had to scrape off half the spread onto another piece of bread (I can see how he destroys Nutella so quickly, he piles it on!) Even thinned down though I can only (barely) handle one slice.

...hopefully the sugar rush the boys get is more of a crash because I want to sleep now lol

So. Since I'm one of those Broke Millennials, I figured I may as well get a taste of The Reason I am broke, according to Financial Experts and The News.

Behold, I have purchased and eaten the illustrious Avocado Toast (with roasted tomatoes).

...it was delicious. But as this is the only one I've ever purchased, I think some other factor may be tanking my finances.

(Probably the stagnant wages that are about 10k below industry average, or lack of contract work the last two years.)

At least the experiment improved my hangry. Capitalism is stressful. Eat good food whenever you can.

At drivethrough:

Me: How many cookies in a pack?

Employee: 1 or 3

Me, with 4 ppl to feed: OK can I get a dozen?

Employee: ... ... uh. I don't know if we have that. Can I have a number instead?

Me: ...12?

Employee: Ok!

Me: ...*shrug*🤷‍♂️
