Pods and creamer? No wonder you are poor, stop wasting money.

[โ€“] rookie@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

honestly, I want to share this because it's a super relatable sentiment... but tide pods and coffee creamer aren't exactly the most relatable groceries to use for it lol

someone pls photoshop this tweet with bread or chicken or something so I can send it to my friends ๐Ÿ˜…

What do you put in your coffee? Black coffee tastes disgusting to me.

I don't drink coffee. I eat dirt and then swallow a coffee sapling whole. It makes the caffeine my body requires. I do this once a year and I'm hopped up on coffee the entire year.

It's not creamer, but I mix in off brand nesquik powder. Put enough in and it's just caffeinated hot chocolate.

[โ€“] Azhad@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's nesquik just sugar and bad cocoa powder? Just buy cocoa powder, why overpay for the sugar?

Definitely a possibility, but one must be prepared that it is not as simple as mixing cocoa powder directly in the drink. It does not dissolve like Nesquik. However, making some chocolate sauce or a slurry is fairly simple and yields good results.

Hot chocolate powder is a great coffee ingredient if you aren't gonna drink it black

[โ€“] ArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 years ago

Reminds me of what people do with the coffee and chocolate drink in MREs.

I prefer my coffee black, so I'll say I think the easiest to enjoy black coffee is made in a french press.

[โ€“] Aux@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There's only one coffee - espresso.

Black and by the cup?

[โ€“] Azhad@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Milk? Cream? The rule is simple: if something exist only in the usa is probably bad for you, the environment or simply good taste.

[โ€“] braxy29@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

i mean... i'm pretty sure milk and cream and coffee exist outside the us? and i think there might even be some non-americans who combine them?! but i dunno, i might be wrong. ๐Ÿค”

[โ€“] Azhad@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

It's the creamer that doesn't exist, it's even banned in some european countries.

Aren't we talking about saving money?

[โ€“] Azhad@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

There's powdered milk, still cheaper and way better then a creamer.

[โ€“] rengoku2@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I dont now the equivalent of my fav coffee there, but I also dont drink black. Disgusting.

Mine is Coffeemix. Cheap, simple, flavorful.

[โ€“] Rootiest@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Instant coffee is criminal, no wonder you don't drink it black

[โ€“] rengoku2@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Criminal your ass ๐Ÿ˜œ

Then U don't like coffee. Drink something else.

[โ€“] ArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I like caffeine. Coffee is the easiest way to get it.

It's the easiest way to get it without excessive sugar or sweeteners.

I hate coffee flavor. So I drink milk with some coffee added.
