#Monsterdon For a second, I thought they were going to do a fake-out ending where it turned out it was all a book she was writing, and the camera would pull back to reveal that all the dead people were still there.

#Monsterdon Slightly Disappointed by The Bat's costume.
In the 1930 version, he had a cape like Batman.
But even more disappointed by this Vincent Price "iced coffee" recipe. More like coffee and clove flavored iced milk. Not good.

In hindsight, I should have made a smaller batch. Now I've still got a quart of this left, and absolutely no desire to drink it.
In conclusion, do not put cloves in your coffee or your milk.
Void ChickenTaweret@timeloop.cafeOct 12, 2026, 2:35 AM@apLundell I would've gone with "or cinnamon"
- Andy L.apLundell@timeloop.cafeOct 12, 2026, 2:37 AM
@Taweret In hindsight, that would have been the smarter choice.
Somehow clove felt more authentically ridiculous.

Just remembered that both instant coffee and decaffeinated coffee were a lot worse in the old days.
They were worse in the year 2000, I shudder to think what they were like in the year 1965.
👻™ supreme goblin 🐊coriander@elekk.xyzOct 12, 2026, 3:22 AM@apLundell I just looked up what saccharin is
To me that's the worst part of this is the overload of artificial sweetener

@apLundell Cloves is a weird choice but I don't hate it, there's cloves in pumpkin spice

@apLundell WAIT I JUST REALIZED
This isn't brewed hot and then poured over ice, it's brewed hot and then let sit until it's room temperature and THEN poured over ice
That's awful

@coriander I'll admit I couldn't find actual saccharine tablets.
Turns out saccharine tabs came in different sizes anyway, and the recipe doesn't specify.
But Sweet & Low has a lot of saccharine in it, so I decided that one packet of S&L counted as one saccharine tab. (That would be about right if he was using 0.5gr tablets.)
I think I guessed right. The sweetness was about right. That wasn't one of the problems.

@apLundell @coriander if you were gonna make subsitutions anyway you couldve used good coffee
- Andy L.apLundell@timeloop.cafeOct 12, 2026, 3:32 AM
@Taweret @coriander Using good coffee would not be in the spirit of the thing.
This recipe is very much about Price intentionally giving his guests terrible coffee.

@apLundell I'm imagining burnt and acrid tasting but also dishwatery
- Void ChickenTaweret@timeloop.cafeOct 12, 2026, 2:29 AM
@apLundell me too
