I'm shouldn't have ice cream due to my Type 2 diabetes, but once in a while, I stop at Mc Donalds and get myself a McFlurry with M&M's. I get a bit sick later, but I find it worth it.

I'm thinking of that scene from Dr. Doolittle with Eddie Murphy where the lady keeps going to the hospital with an allergic reaction to shellfish. Later, she's in a bathroom stall gnawing on a lobster while her face swells up.

I never understood that, but then my doctor told me to cut out sugar or my pancreas might explode (or something) and I immediately thought of that character.

Probably CBD/THC gummies. I don’t tell people I take them for whatever reason.

The depressing part is seeing people call McDonald's sundae and new socks luxury...

[-] tensorpudding@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

They are using it in a different sense. Not that they are considered luxury goods by being expensive and associated with higher socioeconomic standing, but that they are a frivolity which is not necessary and which has tangible costs that they feel are justified due to pure pleasure.

Yeah but new socks are necessary when the old ones are worn out, and honestly, I understand indulging in an ice-cream once in a while but make it something worth it instead of McDonald's sundae...

This is called, "yucking someone's yum."

Sure, there's much better ice cream than McDonald's, but sometimes a McDonald's sundae hits just right.

Dark chocolate. I've apparently developed what appears to be a nickel sensitivity that manifests itself as itchy rashes on my hands, and guess what has a high amount of nickel in it? I've been ok at cutting out other foods but while I reduced my intake I'd rather be itchy than give up my chocolate.

You might have just solved a year long mystery between me and my doctor...I've been getting random rashes all over my arms and torso, and we have yet to determine why. I love dark chocolate.
