Weird thing

[_33]

So every time I go to a fast food place, or gas station, or really any place where you fill up your own fountain drink a weird thing happens.  I can't find the lids.  It doesn't matter where they are located, I can't find them.  I end up looking all around and sometimes I just wait until someone else gets a lid and then I see them.  If my wife is there I tell her I can't find them and she points them out, usually they were right in front of me.  What is going on?  Why can't I find the lids?

What about when you go to a place where you have gotten a drink before?

This is an interesting affliction.

Sounds like it. Hey _33, go ahead and take it over to the cancer thread, bub. TIA.

I don't use lids or straws. What does everyone think of that?

FWIW, the cancer is probably trying to tell you to reuse your cup and lid.  3R's and all.

Basically unable to made a fool of in a convenience store drink aisle.  The promise land.

I always track down the lids so I can fill them with ketchup

I don't care for them either. I will use them for practicality. If I'm not taking the cup to go, no lid/ straw for me.

ok. soda pop isnt so good for you so i find i drink less of it without a lid or a straw (i wont refill it and take it with me).

The thing is, I love drinking with a straw.  It's so easy.  You don't even have to tilt your head back or anything.  Also without a straw I always think I might swallow an ice cube, which is terrifying.  For a split second you you think you're going to die.

How often do you guys buy fountain drinks?  Also how fat are you?

[Mrs. Gooch]

I always use a straw and most of the time use a lid because I am taking it with me. I mostly drink iced tea though; not fountain pop.

If you don't use a straw there is always that possibility of a piece of ice letting loose and the whole drink spilling in your face.

straws and lids are for children (unless you're in a car)

cups need lids to be structurally sound.
