I love the phrase vestigial craving. I think anyone who grew up in one culture but has lived their adult life in another one knows exactly what you mean. This Southern-born reader who has spent their adult life in the Chicago 'burbs occasionally craves an icy cold, 6.5 oz. glass bottle of Coca-Cola and a handful of roasted, salted peanuts to drop into it.

Lynn, I didn't know you were in the Chicago 'burbs! Hi, neighbor! I have never had this Coke-and-peanuts thing you describe - does it sweeten the peanuts to consume at the end?

Yes, we are neighbors! We know each other IRL, but I don't use this name. Think cheese, beer, gardening, Red Barn Farm Market, Flickr and leg lamps. 😁

Sort of?

It's the whole salty sweet combo that is delicious.

I saw a meme where the German translation for "Cybertruck" was "der Wankpanzer," so there's that.

I want this to be true so badly that I'm not gonna Google it.

Okay, first off—Matt Smith was *always* hot! 😂😂

And second—wouldn’t the blonde Targaryens have like wigs and stuff so they could go around without being noticed? Their blonde hair is wayyyyyy too obvious even under their murder cloaks! 🙄

I find Sociopath Matt Smith hotter than Doctor Matt Smith. The heart wants what it wants. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I would like to see wigs stacked on top of the wigs they already wear. How high can they go?
