1. bananas - naturals fast food

3. strawberry
4. peaches - mostly for peach flavored stuff, peach tea, peach ice cream, peach cobbler
5. cherries - would be number 3 if not for pits
6. clementines, cuties - better than oranges
7. mangos - a bitch to peel
8. watermelon - especially now that we have seedless
9. plums - such a small window when they are good tho
10. pineapple
you're doing it wrong

Mangos are S tier, but they are only in season for 3 months out of the year. During those 3 months I consume 3-4 mangos per day.
Cut up strawberries (get the organic ones because the non organic have nasty pesticides) and bannannas in equal parts. Squeeze the juice of a lemon over it and put it in the fridge in a bowl covered in cling wrap for at least 30 min. A tier.
Dried fruit

Re: Off Topic
Today, the U17 Fiba world championship in Turkey begins.
We have a US-France match up for the 1st game (3 classification games for each team, then elimination rounds)
Game starts at 9 30 am East. It can be watched on [url=]youtube[/url](via VPN if you have zone restriction).
We have - at least - 2 top nba prospects (already spoke about them) in this team, Nathan Soliman (who is still 15), and Hugo Yimga-Monkouri (who is 16) - both used to play at the 4 but they are forwards.
Soliman looks like an alien at his position (the sf version of Victor basically).
In the Us roster, you have Cayden Boozer, Koa Peat, Cameron Boozer (i guess those are the most famous)
Full roster is
Boozer - Dybantsa - Holt - Mandaquit - Smith jr - mc coy
Peat - Haralson - Boozer - Stokes
Toombs - Cenac

Re: Off Topic
well it was a first game. Not a great display; both teams mostly score in transition, and both struggles on zone defense. American team has an obvious size/athleticism advantage (no ped here for teenagers) but outside of that, Cam Boozer Dybantsa (flat shoot though) and Peat had good games
soliman not really in his game, yimga monkouri was a bit better but they should do much better despite their age

They'll fire him, fail to hire someone else, and then rehire him for a 2nd time.

Something particularly funny about Canada advancing to the semi-finals with an American coach the US didn't want to hire.

Re: Off Topic
Got a breakfast sandwich from Wendy's this morning dude that handed me the bag looked rather rough like he was on drugs/homeless looking. Opened the bag and the sandwich had a nasty smell could have been to slab of thick white sauce he put all over the sandwich.
Instantly threw the bag in the trash at a gas station.
Am I a bad person?

Re: Off Topic
And no this isn't the first time I threw away food. I'm big on hygiene and appearance. I know anything can happen in fast food, but if you handing me food with your gloves on after making a sandwich and you look like you didn't wash that's going to ruin my appetite.
Just wondering if I'm being boujee...

Re: Off Topic
fast food is always a gamble. hell, eating out anywhere is a gamble these days. workers don't get paid enough to give a ****. restaurants operate on tiny profit margins, so i'm always thinking "how are they cutting corners in the kitchen?".
i have celiac disease, so i have to be super careful when and where i eat. fast food not an option anymore.

This is true, im noticing a lot of the fast food workers look more like people they hired off the streets. I don't really eat fast food like that anyway, but if I'm in a rush or need something quick to eat I usually will get a sandwich or something.
It's sad they don't pay fast food workers more money, they rather hire dirty looking people off the street to work for such little money. I'm sorry but if your hygiene/appearance looks questionable I'm not eating the food.

Wendy’s ran their brand into the ground, I remember they were always considered a step above mcds and such and now they’re below Burger King from what I’ve seen.

Re: Off Topic
A lot of the fast food jobs will be automated eventually. Like a lot of grocery stores that have replaced cashiers with self-checkouts.
That isn't a good thing to me though, people need jobs whether they're scraggly or not.
