The chocolate coating makes it go down easier. But you have to wait fifteen minutes for full potency. And you shouldn’t go in swimming after, for at least, what?
An hour?
Yeah, an hour.
They're roasted, then covered
Feels like a crunchier, grittier, bitter version of the peanut equivalent and you eat them the same way
I like them but they're not for everyone
Coffee beans “crack” twice during proper roasting. It’s an audible sound, and the bean is literally cracking open to release steam. If they don’t, the flavors don’t develop the same way (we call that “baked” coffee beans).
So, even chocolate covered beans are broken!
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of someone else doing this.
When I was a kid, lying in bed, I thought if I cracked it more it would glow more. I was wrong.
Went to the shower and rinsed out my eyes, then went to the ER. It burned until the doctor shined a light to check my eyes, and suddenly I was better.
Ahhhh jeez. On my 19th birthday some buddies of mine and I took shrooms for the first time and had 1 friend sober and taking care of us. We wanted to drive around and see all the lights etc so sober friend drives us around and we brought our Glowsticks along. We get out in a neighborhood throwing the glowsticks to each other cause they look fucking awesome doing so and the plastic started wearing I guess because when we’re leaving the neighborhood, our friend speeds over and speed bump and naturally my hands clenched and the glow stick I was just throwing around exploded everywhere turning the dark interior of the car BRIGHT GREEN. It was hilarious and amazing (if it wasn’t your car and taking care of 4 idiots stonEd out of their mind)
As someone who simply stumbled into this thread ...
Omma let y’all know it’s some of the funniest shit I’ve read today and you all made me smile .. thanks for that
When I was a restaurant host in high school people would try to pay for a single soda with a counterfeit hundred to change it out for real money, which I think is fairly common. Stuff like that might also be why some places just won’t take larger bills too
But why not accept bills larger than $20? Wouldn't a better policy be to not give change larger than $40? This way if I goto the store and have a $100 I can still make a large purchase. Its unlikely a launderer would want $60 of product.
Also people can use fake money, pay for something super cheap with it and get real money in change. Or atleadt that's why we don't tend to accept 50's in the UK without asking a manager first
I never understood this.
You have to go out of your way to get $100 bills. If you're getting money from your bank, then you're already asking a person for money, why not ask them for change, rather than trying to break a C-Note at Starbucks or whatever?
When I’m travelling for work I am given a per diem in cash. It makes much more sense for the boss to give me a few hundreds than for him to hand me a wad of 10s and 20s.
Here in Chile the 20.000 pesos bill. About 28 dollars. It is extemely hard to get small stores to accept something over a 10.000 pesos bill if you aren't buying something expensive
Lol. I always think of that too. And how expensive they are. And how they don't last that long. My mom's probably glad my awkward ass just wanted guitar lessons.
Similarly, skates. This is why people always have blisters after skating on rentals. You get your own skates and you’ll never have a blister again once you’ve broken your skates in
I refuse to break them. I bite into it and pull the paper out. However, there have been several occasions when I have accidentally eaten the paper. Those are the ones that come true.
You can actualy hold them over a source of steam and soften up the cookie, get the paper out and then dry toe cookie disk again. Its needlessly complex but this way i figured out how to make the fortune cookie cookies. And its not too diffirent from my Pancake recipe.
Yup. They also come in fruit.

Bread
> The phrase to break bread with someone is to share a meaningful connection over a meal, often bringing together two people or groups who previously had reason to be disconnected.
Edit: Thank-you to the kind strangers for the awards! My firsts on Reddit... I'll celebrate with some wholesome bread!
Edit 2: Whoa, 17 awards including a gold! Truly inspirational feedback ❤
Huge props to the Redditors that responded with interesting ways that "break bread" has evolved in language:
u/NimdokBennyandAM
> That's what the word company means in the Latin it's derived from. Com panis - the people you break bread with.
u/Sooladhooch
> The French word for bread is "pain" and the French word for friend is "copain". This is because a friend is someone you shared bread with.
u/AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH-OwO
> in quebec, "casse-croûte" which directly translates to "break-crust" is the name we give to some restaurants, kinda like a diner
And a special shout out to u/VulcanHobo who linked to [this fascinating 9 minute YouTube video](https://youtu.be/a1j1twEgreU) on the history of the word "loaf" and the cultural importance of bread.
TIL, in spades!
Breaking isn't like it used to be. They used to just buck horses out until they gave up, which fit the word much more. Most people don't do that anymore because it's cruel.
Now it's more about working slowly, building trust, and providing lots of praise and positive reinforcement. It's called starting. There's a surprisingly large amount of training philosophies for horses, and even famous trainers who write books and go on clinic tours.
That’s probably the origin of the term. It likely refers to breaking the horse’s willpower until it accepts a rider. Wild horses are, well wild, they don’t like people riding them. Now most horses are bred in captivity and it is probably not used that way anymore.
But that’s just my guess from reading the phrase, no research was involved
They did the same thing to newts, turning them into little Goros / General Grievouses
By removing a nerve from the front elbow, it tricks its biology into thinking the limb has been amputated, so another forearm grows out of the joint
your heart. when it’s broken it teaches you a lesson. you were in a situation that hurt you and you didn’t leave which ended in your heart getting broken. it now teaches you if you’re in a situation which is hurting you, you shouldn’t stick around and wait for it to get broken again. it teaches you not to return back to what hurts you. it prevents you from repeating what you did in the past. thats just my opinion though. (im not saying its good to get your heart broken)
Coffee beans
Unless they’re covered in dark chocolate
Do you swallow them whole?
The chocolate coating makes it go down easier. But you have to wait fifteen minutes for full potency. And you shouldn’t go in swimming after, for at least, what? An hour? Yeah, an hour.
Have fun storming the castle!
Do you think it will work?
It would take a miracle.
Bye byeeee 👋
Dont just stare at them
Eat them.

So I’m just waking up and crushing up baked beans to make a juice out of them
Do glow sticks count?
not if they are still in your backpack.
Or if you explode it all over your nice shirt, dingaling.
[The reference](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRUSQm5ZskQ), for anyone wondering. Spoiler: the kid is absolutely fine
or if you accidentally pop one in your eye and have to go to the emergency room on halloween at six years old...
I was twisting one (don't ask why I was a stupid kid) and got sprayed in the eye. Hurt like hell, I didn't get to go to the ER though.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of someone else doing this. When I was a kid, lying in bed, I thought if I cracked it more it would glow more. I was wrong. Went to the shower and rinsed out my eyes, then went to the ER. It burned until the doctor shined a light to check my eyes, and suddenly I was better.
Once, I was biting on a glowstick because I liked the crunch sound it made and shortly afterwards I felt a tingle on my tongue
We would cut them open put them on discs for disc golf, and play at night, besides everything beginning to tingle and burn it was pretty amazing
"IF IT BLEEDS, WE CAN KILL IT."
It’s an AWESOME, BEAUTIFUL shirt!

coconut
What if I want to use it as a projectile? Or a blunt object?
If you break it you have TWO projectiles and TWO blunt objects.
Or a fancy new bra!
Or a horse! *Edit: Thank you for the award* 😊
You got 2 empty halves of coconuts and you're bangin' 'em together!
Coconuts exist in a tropical climate. This is temperate
The swallow may fly south with the sun, or the house maarten or the plummer may seek warmer climes in winter, but these are not strangers to our land!
Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
Worth a try
What if I want my swallows to carry it?
Well you can try tying a string around the coconut and attaching it to 2 swallows by the legs.
It's a question of weight ratios, not where he *grips* it!
Who are you who are so wise in the ways of Science!?

Eggs.
True if all eggs were broken I wouldn't be here.
No, youd be making the biggest onlette of all time amirite?
Onlette
Have you ever tried an Offlette?
I think that's a one egg omellete.
No, that’s a onelette
Then maybe it's an Online Omelette?
No it’s OLED
Your dad made a momlette
Hmm.. i wonder whats the biggest omlete ever made
I too, hate spelling ahmlete correctly.
Immalet this misspelling thread continue.
I’m going ome-let me outta here
You guys mean the Olmlet... right?
I was thinking ohm-let
As someone who simply stumbled into this thread ... Omma let y’all know it’s some of the funniest shit I’ve read today and you all made me smile .. thanks for that
Yall so dumb its Am-lite
No, it's actually the Ohmlate.
I think you guys mean homlat.
No the Ohmlet obviously. I dunno why you guys keep resisting the right answer.

Crack it open, get that sweet wasp honey.
Spicy honey.
That sounds like a challenge
It IS a challenge! That's the point of the piñata!
A 100 dollar bill.
Sorry, we can't accept anything larger than 20.
This happened to me a couple days ago (I'm not American). Why does this happen? Because you'd take all of their change?
Basically. It's not uncommon for people to go into a store, buy a $1 pack of gum, and ask for $99 dollars in change.
When I was a restaurant host in high school people would try to pay for a single soda with a counterfeit hundred to change it out for real money, which I think is fairly common. Stuff like that might also be why some places just won’t take larger bills too
A fair number of places have those litmus pens for this reason.
But why not accept bills larger than $20? Wouldn't a better policy be to not give change larger than $40? This way if I goto the store and have a $100 I can still make a large purchase. Its unlikely a launderer would want $60 of product.
Also people can use fake money, pay for something super cheap with it and get real money in change. Or atleadt that's why we don't tend to accept 50's in the UK without asking a manager first
Yep, laundering fake bills.
I never understood this. You have to go out of your way to get $100 bills. If you're getting money from your bank, then you're already asking a person for money, why not ask them for change, rather than trying to break a C-Note at Starbucks or whatever?
When I’m travelling for work I am given a per diem in cash. It makes much more sense for the boss to give me a few hundreds than for him to hand me a wad of 10s and 20s.
In Mexico the 1000 pesos bill. Lots of places flat it don’t accept them. I guess somewhat similar to the $100.
Here in Chile the 20.000 pesos bill. About 28 dollars. It is extemely hard to get small stores to accept something over a 10.000 pesos bill if you aren't buying something expensive
Bad habits.

Is there an /r/expectedlinkinpark ? Edit: apparently yes, but with only one post in it before now
Ballet shoes
Underrated answer. Breaking in pointe shoes is an effort.
Lets be honest, you don't break in the pointe shoe, the shoe breaks in your foot.
And then your feet are permanently ugly for the rest of your life. At least, mine are.
Mine aren't ugly, 'cept my little toes are a bit cramped. My issue is the joint pain in my metatarsals and the constant ingrown toenails
Yeah, the joint pain is no joke. My cramped toes and the toenail situation make mine ugly unfortunately 😅
I know this because of the movie Center Stage :)
Lol. I always think of that too. And how expensive they are. And how they don't last that long. My mom's probably glad my awkward ass just wanted guitar lessons.
Similarly, skates. This is why people always have blisters after skating on rentals. You get your own skates and you’ll never have a blister again once you’ve broken your skates in
Feel similar about climbing shoes, eventhough maybe not to the same degree
Ohh the horror. Flash back of bloody toes.
fortune cookies
I refuse to break them. I bite into it and pull the paper out. However, there have been several occasions when I have accidentally eaten the paper. Those are the ones that come true.
"You will eat this paper."
You will poop this paper
"You will only read this paper 24 hours after eating the cookie"
You will find true love on Flag Day.
"early bird gets the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese". you have to get up early and wait in traffic.
Was wondering what the fuck the first mouse was doing till I realized a trap was involved.
You can actualy hold them over a source of steam and soften up the cookie, get the paper out and then dry toe cookie disk again. Its needlessly complex but this way i figured out how to make the fortune cookie cookies. And its not too diffirent from my Pancake recipe.
Walnuts
Just walnuts. Other nuts? Eat em shell and all
No! Just WALNUTS! Now go finish your almond shells!

A broken escalator is arguably more useful since it could be used in both directions too.

A horse
Nice one! For non-horse people, “breaking a horse” means teaching it to accept a rider on its back.
Sounds like one broke a horse‘s mind just to enslave them. forever.
Breaking isn't like it used to be. They used to just buck horses out until they gave up, which fit the word much more. Most people don't do that anymore because it's cruel.

Now most horses are bred in captivity and it is probably not used that way anymore. But that’s just my guess from reading the phrase, no research was involved
Nah you still break horses. It's a normal process, and simply means that it is used to having tack and a rider on it.
A pencil. If you break you pen you have no pen. If you break your pencil you have two pencils.
Pencils and worms have something in common.
Contrary to popular belief, worms don't just multiply if you cut them. The half with the important organs survives and the other half doesn't...
Earthworms don't, but flatworms do.
You can make a flatworm hydra by just slicing the head in half, and then keep doing it once it regenerates

Surprised at the number of people saying this. Must be a lot of ravers
Or parents of children who still get excited for glow sticks...
Or parents who are excited to have kids so they have an excuse to play with glow sticks again....
Or just adults who still like having fun regardless of the child situation.
