It tastes different because there's other stuff in it.
I think corn starch is the other stuff. Yeah it doesn't work for much. BTW sorry I missed you at monkey. I think I saw you but was shy because you're all like famous and stuff.

Apparently corn starch or other chemical tomfoolery for "anti-caking". Which is fun because sometimes you might dust a cake-like product with it. Does it cause the cake to melt? Does the world end when cake comes into contact with anti-cake???
I am not any sort of famous. And I looked for you, but did not know who I was looking for.
I did, however, help stuff your packet. oo lah lah.

The stuff we have just has cornstarch, which I've never realized had that much flavor, but it must. It's not a good flavor, either.

Oh hell no. It will definitely destroy a cup of coffee.
Except dunkn donuts coffee, which it probably improves.

((or is it?))
On any place other than an endurance sports site this would take on a whole 'nother meaning... Kinda like the cyclocross "hole shot." First time I heard that I'm certain I snickered like a 12 year old boy.

No, I think you're right. I don't get the DD coffee love. I think it's gross.
Then you can have anti-coffee with your anti-cake.

Not being sugar takers in our house if a visitor does request sweetener in their drink I am always strugggling to find any. My eyesight not being quite what it was when younger, on two occassions now I have mistakenly added SALT. The look on their faces was something to behold.
I would heartily recommend this if you have an unwelcome visitor and want to get on with your day.

A while back I was in my (ex-) girlfriend's kitchen, and she took an ice-cream bucket out of her fridge, scooped out a big spoonful, and fed it to me... POTATO SALAD.
(Also, I hate potato salad.)

Double Zout licorice
(For those that know licorice, but don't know Double Zout, you don't know what I'm talking about. For those that have had this treat, you know what I'm talking about. For those that like this treat, you're not like the majority of people I know)
I used to have a candy jar on my desk at the office with the stuff mixed in with other traditional candy. Funny watching when people picked out the prize unknowingly.

Pickle Juice
When I bike, I occasionally carry a bottle of pickle juice.
I also carry gatorade that I pre-mix (and sometimes, it's the yellow gatorade).
I sip pickle juice slowly.
I drink gatorade...
When I have yellow gatorade, and I get the pickle juiced mixed up with the gatorade while riding, I get a startling surprise
Things that are startling:
The 12 year old (Christopher Rayder) who ran 3:55 at the Flying Monkey Marathon on Sunday. Who is also a Marathon Maniac, with at least 8 marathons under his belt, and ran < 3:30 at Grandfather Mountain.
He took off at HHFMM with the leaders. I didn't pass him until around M12. This kid is going to be fast when he grows up.
Um... gross?

Let's just say that the identical size, shape and color bottle of eyedrops and the bottle of nail glue no longer live in the same place. That resulted in a visit to the ER. However, the opthalmologist told me that the chemical compound was the same stuff they use to repair torn corneas.
