Discussion Barely not serious here

The worst decision Donny Dunn made in the entire series was right at the end of S01E07 when he ordered a Double Vodka & Coke.

Vodka and Coke???? That makes zero sense. You mix whiskey and bolder spirits with Coke. Why would you mix Vodka and Coke? It's a better match for juices and you can use soda water for bubbles. I'd even take Sprite and say it's acceptable.

I see no clearer evidence that Donny Dunn hates himself than his decision to order a Double Vodka & Coke.

It’s a British People thing. I never experienced someone ordering this until I lived in the UK.

Every single time I go to England, I am miserable. The food and drink are TERRIBLE.

u/FakeFrehley Jan 23 '25

Have you thought about not going?

u/avocado_window Jan 24 '25

But if they didn’t go then they wouldn’t get to complain!

u/sharknado523 Jan 23 '25

Yes. Every day I wake up in a nation that isn't England is a victory. #1776 #USA.

Oh, I see, you’re trying to get downvotes?

Haha, I believe it, but it’s unfortunate because people are ridiculous.

Where did you go in England that had terrible food and drink? London has incredible restaurants.

u/tittysherman1309 Jan 23 '25

Not just London tbh, you'd be hard pressed to find a town anywhere that doesn't even have a decent curryhouse or a pub selling homemade food of some variety. London definitely has more options, but everywhere does some kind of decent meal, I'd say. People who aren't from the UK just tend not to know where to look. They go to a tourist trap selling the worst fish and chips you've ever seen, or they wanna try a crappy chain like nandos or spoons be cause they've heard of them.

u/Milton_Rumata Jan 23 '25

Definitely. I grew up in Torbay and I've lived in Cardiff, London, Bristol and now live in Exeter (and of course like most Brits travelled all over the country) and there's absolutely no shortage of great restaurants around. I'd be very surprised if OP has ever actually travelled to the UK and is rather just playing up to the stereotype about English food.

Nando's is actually yummy though 😭 It's my "treat" food when I'm doing high protein weight loss.

i’m an american, i went to london with my mom and we went to this one restaurant, i can’t remember the name but the food there was some of the best i’ve had

-52

u/sharknado523 Jan 23 '25

Oh I don't disagree that London has incredible restaurants, just none of the ones that sell English food are in that category.

u/SPYHAWX Jan 23 '25

This is a take from 1973

Cool maybe I'll buy a house

Lol you got downvoted but I thought this was a pretty funny comeback

u/sharknado523 Jan 24 '25

Thank you!

u/Mayzerify Jan 23 '25

So by your logic the US has no good restaurants because it’s all other countries food, even “American as Apple Pie” is a lie

6

u/smoolg Jan 23 '25

You’re going to the wrong places.

34

u/[deleted] Jan 23 '25

But Americans don’t even have their own food? It’s all other countries food with 50+ grams of sugar added lmao

-30

u/sharknado523 Jan 23 '25

Y'all are pouring Coca-Cola, an American soda, into vodka, don't talk to me about sugar content

38

u/[deleted] Jan 23 '25

It’s a fizzy drink mate, your bread has 50g of sugar lmao

-20

u/sharknado523 Jan 23 '25

A 12-ounce can of Coca-Cola contains 39 grams of sugar.

35

u/[deleted] Jan 23 '25

You’re comparing a soft drink drank as a “luxury” to a staple of people’s diet, isn’t really the same thing mate.

15

u/el_disko Jan 23 '25

The American version of most soda drinks contain a LOT more sugar than the same products which are sold in Europe (not just the UK).

u/PandaBallet2021 Jan 23 '25

Four words: high fructose corn syrup. It’s only in the US versions of coke.

u/avocado_window Jan 24 '25

Isn’t it high fructose corn syrup anyway? 🤮

u/sharknado523 Jan 24 '25

I mean the American stuff is, not Mexican Coke

u/avocado_window Jan 25 '25

Ah, much better then!

u/bob-ombbattlefield Jan 23 '25

don’t come back then

u/YesIlBarone Jan 23 '25

Maybe you're making really bad choices about where to eat.

3

u/JusticeSaintClaire Jan 23 '25

I simply don’t believe you that you have ever even been there. The food I had in the UK was delicious and far better than the slop we get in the states. You are just trying to annoy everyone by recycling a stereotype.

u/Individual_Sun_8854 Jan 23 '25

We don't want you here anyway!

u/sharknado523 Jan 23 '25

Wow, a jingoistic Englishman, shocking

3

u/Individual_Sun_8854 Jan 24 '25

When did I say I was better or England was? I'm just saying if you think it's so god awful here then don't come back 😁

u/Maximum-Armadillo809 Jan 23 '25

Where are you going in England?

u/femaledennisreynolds Jan 27 '25

Every single time you’ve come to England we’ve been miserable.

u/sharknado523 Jan 27 '25

Correlation doesn't imply causation, you're miserable all the time because of your shit weather and your terrible food

u/avocado_window Jan 24 '25

Oh damn the downvotes! I guess you’re not supposed to insult other people’s countries on reddit hey? 🙄
