Dang, this is GOOD. Both the Sriracha and lime flavours come through nicely.
This would be good on fries or anything snacky. I think I want to try it in (and/or on the rim of) a bloody Mary.

The insidious degradation of my cognitive function coupled with my physical and mental deficiencies, are leaving me perplexed and content in the rapid decline of self, unbeknownst to observations of others, there is a significant decline, both in executive and cognizant function as well as motor function, so far in this post alone, I have lost focus 5 times and have had to correct spelling 20 times, as well my hands struggle to navigate the keyboard as my eyes can not focus and all this is a swirling blur;

I don't watch, so can't imagine the level of deep knowledge required to know any of the soaps like Eastenders or Coronation Street.
How would you ever binge watch them from the beginning?! How long would it take?
Wikipedia says coronation st has had 11,746 episodes over the last 65 years, each between 30-60 minutes long. Assuming they're mostly 30 mins long, thats over 5800 hours, or 244 straight days (over 8 months).
If you watched corrie for 8 hours a day 7 days a week it would take you more than 2 years to watch every episode.

in reply to Mike • • •Still capitalism, however. And still planetwrecking colonial imperialism.
Which is why all of those very nice social democracies are seeing accelerating inequality and rising fascism, because they've always been on the same trajectory to corporate technofeudalism with all the rest of us. Their socialized safety nets are being dismantled by neoliberal-supercharged privatization and corruption.
Just takes a bit longer for the cracks to show.
