Yeah, but your whole house will smell like vinegar instead of lemony goodness.

trostell (01/30/2015) [-] Vodka, true to the definition, would be colorless, odorless, and tasteless. If it has flavor, they ****** something up along the way, and the price is pretty much the name on the label. It's the same for most standardized measuring tools like micrometers. You can get a three-piece set of micrometers to measure anything from under 1 inch to up to 3 inches for $20, or you can spend $200 on a single 1-inch micrometer. The difference is the brand name.

charagrin (01/31/2015) [-] I am confused, as alcohol, by its very definition would have both odor AND a taste to it. Not naysaying you, but only people on the internet and the US government claim Vodka to be odorless, tasteless, and clear. It's a non-water liquid, it HAS to have smell and taste, thats just how it works. offthepresses.blogspot.be/2010/03/vodkas-and-their-differences.html

themongoose (01/31/2015) [-] Trostell is talking about the "ideal" vodka. The word "vodka" stems from Russian Voda, meaning water.
Yes, this ideal isn't truly going to be reached, but there are some that are very very close. Grey Goose has an extremely distinct flavor. It is easily picked out of a crowd. That's one reason it is a poor choice of vodka. I recently had a vodka that came as close to this ideal as I have ever had. I'll be back later with the name.

landcucumber (01/31/2015) [-]
I work at a distillery where we make Vodka. Cost for the actual vodka is about two dollars. That is cost of the grain, power to run the still, water bill, and so on. equipment was about 100,000 brand new so that has to be paid for. part time bottlers make about a 1000 a month. There are three of them. full time employees get about 6,500, three of us. Insurance for around 1000 per month per person. building is 3,500 a month. Marketing budget set at 30,000 a month. Bottles are 16.75 a case (12). labels are about 50 cents per bottle. Stopper is 45 cents. then every 750ml bottle gets a 2.14 excise tax from the Fed. Then state tax but that is payed usually by the liquor store. We deliver to the distributor at 220 a case. They then mark up a little and take it to liquor stores. Liquor stores mark it up 33% or more depending where it is. Bar can be up to 100% mark up or more. So cost of vodka is kind high for this reason. yeah the vodka itself is cheap but it's all the other stuff that jacks up the price.
And yeah there is a difference, bad vodkas are not as well distilled. Often times they carry more methyl alcohol and sulfides in them. Carbon filters can help but. to get better Vodka you need a good still, and multiple distillations. WE run 6 Distillations, but we only really need 4 to get a good vodka.
Oh and I didn't include it before but shipping is a bitch. probably 2,000 in just shipping fees.

themongoose (01/31/2015) [-] I think the best thing about this comment is that I would take smirnoff over goose. stuff tastes terrible. Polish vodkas are great. Belvedere and Chopin, and Sobieski if you're on a budget, are great.
After I got into good tequilas, I made a note NEVER to drink anything that was referenced in main stream rap songs. Patron is really garbage, just well marketed. Same with Grey Goose and Crystal and Dom Perignon Champagnes.

themongoose (01/31/2015) [-] If you do blind taste tests with alcohols you think you like, you'll be surprised at where you rate them. The ones I mentioned always come out on the low end. Try it sometime. You'll find out that there is some fantastic stuff on the cheaper end, terrible stuff on the expensive end, and you need to search to find the good stuff on either end.
Also, alcohol distributors pay to have their alcohol brands in the songs. Great marketing does not equal great product.

Dude I don't even like vodka but I can promise you if you get a bottle of Aristocrat (cheapest **** I've ever bought) and Smirnoff you WILL taste the difference let alone the difference between Aristocrat and Grey Goose or another one of the top-midtier brands

I used to work produce at Walmart, and people would ask me all the time to go to the back for **** which I really didn't mind doing if I knew it was there, or just wasn't sure . If it was something I specifically knew we didn't have, and they asked me to go check anyway, I would just go to the back and chill in the produce cooler pun intended for a while to make them wait.

swagasauruss ONLINE (01/31/2015) [-] definitely, Our night crew is treated like they do nothing wrong, and dayshift gets yelled at for all the things. I've nearly fell out of our wave 6 times because our managers refused to put in a request to have the back door fixed to where it stay closed. When I confronted a Co mgr about it and refused to use it, she said "Ill get someone else then" and walked off.

AngelsShadow (01/31/2015) [-] This is absolute bull **** . I'm certified in culinary arts and we were always told never to use too much butter, butter is a fat, if you made a meal with 30% butter do you have any idea how greasy and disgusting it would be? Yes butter does enhance the flavor by a huge amount, but you are to use it sparingly, it's the spices, the seasoning and the little bit of extra, plus YEARS of experience to get each dish perfect and hard work and dedication that make your dish so good, not ******* butter, don't insult the fine art of cooking with such simplistic narratives of how the industry is run based on the bias of one person.

The University I go to has a very large LGBT community, no one has tried to do **** against them, and every state has its share of homophobes, just look at Arizona, the only state that tried to pass legislation to refuse service to LGBT.

This is why I'll never be anything but ok at cooking. It's just as much a ******* art as it is a science, and I suck dick at art.

AngelsShadow (01/31/2015) [-]
If you're better at the scientific aspect of cooking, I would say try out baking, it's incredibly scientific and doesn't really require too much in the way of artistic ability... Which is why I hated baking class -.-

I'm very good at baking. I can make cookies, cakes, brownies (yes those kind too), and scones that will make you face a **** a vegan. But I want to be able to cook dinner to and not just dessert all the time.

AngelsShadow (01/31/2015) [-]
This is how I do it... When you're cooking, try and think of a spice and try to remember how it tastes, how it smells, is it earthy, is it sweet, try to let those things go through your mind, then take a small whiff of the spice or seasoning and then smell your protein, vegetable, starch or whatever you're seasoning and ask yourself "would this go well with this?"
Big question, is most of your food bland? Or do you tend to over season?

upyoursnumbnuts (01/31/2015) [-]
I'll admit that it's usually bland and sometimes it'll be over/undercooked. The recipe says 5 min so I cook it for 5 min. The recipient calls for 1 tsp pepper so I put exactly what the recipe says. Then it turns out tasteless or too salty, but I did what you told me.
#138 to #126
-
AngelsShadow (01/31/2015) [-]
There's your problem, don't be too sparing with the salt, don't go overboard with it, but try to just keep going until it feels right, most people who create great food play by sight, they stop pouring the ingredient when it just feels like there's enough. That little sixth sense comes with practice, you have to fail a few times before you actually get it down, you have to taste the different spices and note their flavor, texture and potency, then you're ready to actually use them in cooking. Something like rosemary is very very potent and should be used in small amounts unless it's with lamb, but something like parsley is very light and you would have to add a little more parsley than you would rosemary

GnRNoD ONLINE (01/30/2015) [-] The vodka one is a lie, I like vodka and drink often and I can tell you from a smirnoff and up you don't get the same level of hangover than with the cheap stuff and also the taste is more like a real drink than alcohol diluted in water.
Also the Telemarketer one might be required by law, but I've worked as a telemarketer for many different companies and I can tell you they don't train you for that, and when you ask the supervisor they tell you to just let it go...it is so annoying in my country that the goverment issued a number you can call to get off telemarketers lists.

#30 to #29
-
Emuman (01/30/2015) [-] I agree about the vodka. Vodka doesn't really taste of anything but the cheap stuff is a lot less smooth and gives you a worse hangover than expensive vodka. Although if you're just trying to get drunk, you wouldn't really care. Just out of curiosity, what's your favourite brand? I'd have to go with either Finlandia or Grey Goose.
#32 to #30
-
GnRNoD ONLINE (01/30/2015) [-] Also when I was younger, I felt the same way, if you're just trying to get drunk then **** it right? but now after many many nights of heavy drinking and not ending up laying next to a toilet I can tell you the good stuff really makes a difference, it's not about mixing alcohols and **** it's about drinking quality **** .
#34 to #31
-
Emuman (01/30/2015) [-] Absout is good, never had sky but I don't even call smirnoff vodka. At least the red label. I live in the UK by the way. Grey Goose is smooth as **** but it's quite expensive, Finlandia is fairly cheap and smooth, but not as good as Grey Goose. I'd highly recommend both though
#40 to #39
-
Emuman (01/30/2015) [-] I've had a mix of Vodka and Spiced Rum tonight. It's fair to say I'm adequately drunk right now. A total of maybe 9 shots. If you lived near me, I would give you the money to buy expensive vodka, it's genuinely worth the price provided you aren't paying for the label.
#45 to #43
-
Emuman (01/30/2015) [-] It's just gone 11PM here, sharing a drink would also be satisfactory, if it gets someone drunk I'm open to share. Spiced rum is a bit sweeter than white or dark rum, but it's mostly better for mixing with soft drinks. Makes it easy to forget you are drinking alcohol though. Enjoy the rest of your night.

Wow. Those are some strong feelings on circumcision.
Honestly from my point of view, I like my penis the way it is and I don't think I'd be as happy uncircumcised. I'm glad my parents made that decision when I was a few hours old and unable to remember anything.
