I had coffee in my hand but had not consumed it. Metro is cracking down on eating and drinking on trains and platforms, and I had not the energy for a ticket.
It was sheer willpower. I deserve a fucking medal.

Uh, wut? No coffee on the train?Â
You can carry it but not drink it. Honestly, I think they should ban non-spill proof containers. Those cars get cleaned like once a week.
When I was in Hawaii, and walked into my hotel, the very first thing that greeted me was not lovely tropical flowers or pictures of the ocean. It was a MASSIVE banner advertising that Pumpkin Spice Lattes were available at the Starbucks in the lobby.
That has nothing to do with Chestnut Praline Lattes, but I just thought you should all be aware of the havoc that the PSL trend is wrecking on America.
That's because we don't give a shit when it's still 85 outside. Their only chance is appealing to tourists.
But because you'd already had your coffee you were able to refrain, yes?

Please to be 'splaining this, you can't drink and eat on the subway? Buuuuttt why?

So you all have to sit/stand around looking at each other while everyone's coffee fills the train with coffee smells and you can't have any? You are actually in hell. That's what that is.

Look, people DO drink on the Metro. I have plenty of time. But no, it's not allowed. And I've read that they're cracking down so I'm gonna follow the rules. Food is a bigger problem, IMO, but I get cracking down on both. The disgusting things people leave behind - food wrappers, drink bottles, sunflower seed shells - clearly warrant this rule.
And I'm not that concerned about a daily commuter using a spill proof Contigo mug. But inevitably, a tourist takes a fucking Starbucks pumpkin spice latte on the train and doesn't understand the importance of holding on to the handrails, and the next thing you know, that car is going to smell like nutmeg and spoiled milk for five days.

Lol. Actual commuters have their coffee in insulated spill proof mugs, usually in a bag. You don't smell it.

Ok, I get it. People are disgusting. So having more trash cans or cleaning crews more than once a week is probably not cost effective because its public transportation. But not being able to enjoy your latte and a bagel while commuting to work sounds like heinous torture. Have I cemented my basic white girl status yet?
I know I will get flamed for this but I have yet to have a PSL from Starbucks. I have made it though and it is quite easy to make.
On a different topic, I see Oreos has come out with Red Velvet version of their cookies. Why?
WHY NOT?!
A red velvet Oreo sound like the first specialty Oreo worthy of my mouth!!!
I keep going back and forth on it as I doubt it is REAL cream cheese. Is anyone willing to buy them and taste test them for me? Now I want a piece of red velvet cake.

I wouldn't eat on a train because trains are gross, but a croissant and a travel mug of coffee are a different beast than the guy munching on his tuna sandwich or take out lo mein. The latter is fucking gross and because people have no common sense, I'm in favor of an outright ban. I also don't want to accidentally sit on a seat where you've spilled a dollop of cream cheese or something.

You should come here. My boss just ran out to get us red velvet cake.
i dont see the fuss over red velvet. its just fucking chocolate.
Despite me showing him recipes, my husband didn't believe me that the flavour in red velvet cake is chocolate. I had to make one (with the "correct" flavour) to prove it.
The fuss has nothing to do with the red velvet flavour, it's all about the cream cheese frosting. I wish it was common practice to put cream cheese frosting on more cake flavours.
