I mean. Do we all actually dislike her?

I personally enjoy her Christmas songs.

I mean there aren’t a lot of good alternatives.

I never trust anyone that wears blue contact lenses.

Antisocial personality disorder. Already well defined and lots of research on these people.

😭

And I’m 40 and still haven’t figured it out.

I applaud your tenacity to defeat the biscuit terror.

I know it’s a stupid fear. I know it’s illogical. The can can’t hurt me. Yet…

It’s like that puff of air at the eye doctor they use to check eye pressure.

I know it won’t hurt me. Yet I often blink (another reflex) and they have to do it more than once.

Yeah I agree the croissant ones are probably just the same dough as the biscuits, just cut up differently.

They seem like they puff up a bit more though. But really similar.

You ever have a croissant crust pizza?

I think dijorno brand had them for a while. The crust is like the Pillsbury croissants.

It’s pretty good fresh. But crust on edges gets hard if you reheat it layer. Though that’s true for most pizza crust.

Idk how healthy it is considering croissants have so much butter in them. I only bought it a few times. But it was tasty.

I don’t think I knew these existed. Thanks 👍

So if you peel it too much it will sometimes pop while peeling.

If you don’t peel it enough and wack it on the counter, it won’t pop. So then you try peeling it again.

Sometimes that will make it pop. Sometimes not.

It’s the unpredictability of the damn things.

I also figured out how to pop balloons.

Pinch the bottom. Use scissors. Cut it. Let some air out slowly at first then you can let go once the pressure is lowered.

Figured out the best approach after helping clean up after family’s kids birthdays.

Kids love those damn balloons. A pain to pop them all. The kids help. Their approach was to sit on them.

Scissors better.

Yeah they definitely have added sugar

Maybe it depends on the brand.?

Or time frame?

Maybe they used to require a spoon but now are “spoon free”.

Or maybe the spoon free wrap is proprietary. So only the pilsbury ones are spoon free while the generic ones I buy, are not.

?

Edit- okay so I have a can in my fridge. Its aldi brand.

Says to use spoon.

Might make such people more prone to being bothered by them.

But anyone can be bothered by these damn biscuits.

Being startled by canned biscuits popping is not a diagnostic criteria for autism or PTSD.

I don’t like baking. And making anything with flour is a huge mess. Because I’m a messy bitch and that’s what what.

It’s actually called the startle reflex.

A lack of the startle reflex can be indicative of neurological problems. So it’s a pretty good feature to have.

However, like many reflexes, it can be over-ridden with effort.

Being ready for a response can often help negate a startle reflex.

However, I am unable to do that for these fucking canned biscuits! Although I can for other loud sounds.

I think it’s because I can’t perfectly predict when it will happen.

Years of trauma will not allow me to try breaking the can on the counter. Which would be a way to perfectly predict the sound. But I’ve been fearful of the biscuits for too long.

Yeah I think technically you are still supposed to use the spoon. But sometimes it would pop before you tried the spoon.

I just use water now and run into the other room to hide.

Omg.

No. I would not.

It’s premade dough that cooks into biscuits. But not the cookie sweet kind.

American biscuits which are mostly just butter and flour. They are pretty good fresh. Like muffins but get dry and stale fast. Like muffins.

Part of the prep (if you are making home made,) is rolling the dough out and layering/folding it over and over.

So the biscuits pull apart easily. Like in the direction of hamburger buns. Making it easy to turn them into little breakfast sandwiches.

Where I’m from, in the Midwest, it’s very popular to eat them with sausage gravy. Just the biscuits and gravy. Nothing else.

Used to be cheap to make at home and even cheap at restaurants.

A lot of (all?) 24 hr tuck stop restersunts serve them. So it’s also popular with drunk people at 3 am.

(Truck stop restaurants are usually small dinners attached to gas stations. Usually outside city limits. That are open 24 hrs to serve truckers. But also popular with night people. Sometimes they even have showers. )

I feel like I shouldn’t hide where it came from as that’s sketchy.

Also I found it on Pinterest.

Whenever you see screenshots with rounded black borders, it’s usually from Pinterest.

The top was already partially cropped.

Decent amount of funny stuff on Pinterest, surprisingly.

I have another story that I heard from a guy who was staying at the same air BNB as me. (It had multiple rooms that they rented out).

We were chatting in the kitchen and I told him I love to hear interesting people-stories. Especially bizarre ones.

Here is the story he told me.

His brother’s gf (age in the early 20s) had been hired by her professor to pet sit an old dog while the professor and her husband were in Europe for a week or two.

This young lass had been told the medium/large sized dog was old but otherwise seemed healthy.

A few days into this pet sitting gig, the dog unexpectedly died of unknown causes. But was old. So probably health problem.

She contacted the owners. She wasn’t sure what to do with their beloved pet dog’s body. Too big to fit in the freezer.

The owners asked her to have the dog cremated.

This young lass, being in the city and young did not have a car of her own. So she had to consider the best way to transport the dog and decided on putting the dog in a large rolling suitcase.

So she does this. And uses public transportation to get to the vet clinic that will have the dog cremated.

She heads out to her destination via public bus.

She gets off at her stop. Checks her phone to look at a map. Get her bearrings and such as she’s unfamiliar with where she is going.

As she is distracted, a thief sees an opportunity to rob this young lady of her medium/large suitcase.

Surely there must be something of value in such a large heavy suitcase.

She is unable to catch the person who stole it as she didn’t notice it had been lifted right away.

She then had to contact the owners again and inform them that someone stole their dogs corpse.

Then the guy telling me this story and I contemplated the fate of the suitcase, and the reaction of the theif after they hauled this suitcase a decent distance. Maybe all the way to their own place, only to unzip it and discover a dead dog.
