It’s like drinking pure sweetness, I am in love
This you OP?
I don’t know who this is lol
Vincent Donofrio in Men in Black
Played an alien bug who always wanted sugar water
I do have a strong affinity for bugs, so this fits
His species looks like a giant roach and he’s wearing Edgar’s skin like a suit.
Think I still remember the lead up verbatim
THE ONLY THING THAT PULLS ITS WEIGHT AROUND HERE IS MY GODDAMN TRUCK
crashing noise as ufo hits truck
Scoffs, mutters Figures…
I haven’t seen that movie in idk 25 years. I wish my brain had memorized maths or something, but nope, just lines from movies and Simpsons
i used to work on a farm where we grew maybe 150 row feet of sugarcane. not really for a market, but mostly to propagate the cane and add to a stockpile for some TBD potential future use.
we didn’t have a canebreak or whatever, but sometimes we’d cut out hunks to chew on or squeeze into some tea.
it’s flavor brings a smile that says, “OK, i can see why this is a thing.”
Wtf is a ‘row feet’, is that something american?
rather than a unit-area, it’s unit-length. the equivalent of one row of cane planted, measuring 150 feet. bed width is not standardized, so depending on a crop’s spacing and a bed’s width, one might fit 2-3 or more rows in a bed.
But how many cane fit in a foot length?
we planted/propagated by laying the cane horizontally and burying it, because it will shoot up new cane from the internodes which, for whatever we were planting was something like 4-6 inches apart. so like probably something like 400-450?+ stalks coming from the ~75? planted horizontally.
Very cool! I still have no idea how are row foot is a useful way to measure sugar cane, but I’m learning lots
the old volkswagen death machine coupled with a jury rigged sugarcane juice maker is a landmark of brazilian culture
They have very similar ones in Vietnam! Typically street stands and juicers that crush the sugercane between rolling metal drums.
Gotta be spewing black smoke from a 2-stroke the whole time. Improves the flavor.
Now I’m interested, I have a little bit of a sweet tooth, not as bad as my mom’s was though lol
it’s good. sugar cane juice is the thai tea of juice. It’s kinda exactly what you think
where has this been all my life
Between cancer and capricorn
My dad would buy sugarcane down at the little Hispanic corner store and squeeze it fresh for himself
Didn’t care for it much myself
Always preferred passion fruit or guava juice myself
