So how did fries + a soda + $7 worth of biscuits = $18??? Sounds like they saw you coming. (Maybe your 4 "complimentary" biscuits were $2 each) |

The Red Lobster I went to had the prices.
$3.59 for Pepsi. $3.99 for fries. $6.49 for dozen Cheddar Bay Biscuits. The base bill including tax came up to about $15.20. With 20 percent tip, I spent about $18. 😀 |

You paid $3.59 for a soda?? Shouldn't you have put that money towards getting your oven repaired? |

Like I said, they must've seen you coming. How you think $18 for a soda, a plate of french fries and a bag of biscuits is a good deal is beyond me. I suppose that one day when you find yourself living on the street because you don't have anything because you pissed all your money away on dumb sh*t, you can think back with wistful fondness to when you were on top of the world with your plate of fries, Pepsi and bag of biscuits. |

Soda prices are crazy these days. $6-7/12pk cans. When I was buying soda (not that many years ago), I was paying $3. Nowadays, I buy the clear, sugar-free sparkling waters and dilute them down with equal parts unsweetened sparkling water. Two liters costs me about $1.60. To pay $3.59 for a glass of soda at a restaurant is crazy on principle alone. But who knows? I may do it myself someday. |

I drink right out of the bottle. So a 2 liter bottle would be flatter 'n Twiggy before I'm done with it. |

So do I but my soda doesn't go flat. Lasts a couple of days and still has detectable fizz. Why? Because I know the secret!!!! |

The secret is to not glug glug glug it down. That's how all the fizz escapes. |

Wrong.
I glug glug glug my soda down all the time and it doesn't go flat. That's not the secret trick... |

For about 8 bucks, you can pick up a used toaster oven at Goodwill... |

Is this one of those newfangled "hack" things I keep hearing about? |

No, this is something I've been doing for years. The trick to keeping 2 liter bottles of soda from losing their fizz too quickly, is that once you've opened the bottle and put it back in the fridge, never lay it down on it's side. Keep it standing straight up. That decreases the amount of surface area of the liquid for the carbon dioxide to rise up into the empty space inside the bottle. It also creates a more concentrated downward pressure on the liquid which slows the dissipation of the CO2. It also helps to squash the bottle. That decreases the amount of open space inside the bottle for the CO2 to escape into. And if you want to keep a coupla few degrees colder, which also helps retain the fizz, shove it all the way to the back of the fridge so that it's actually in contact with the back wall. Of course none of this will keep it fizzy forever. You have to drink it in a timely manner, but if you don't open the bottle for a couple of days at a time, it will still help. Just don't jostle it around a lot. |

You seem judgmental. $18/$19 splurge (s) on dining out isn't going to send me living on the street. |

That all sounds plausible. On the net, there's some soda dispenser gadget that supposedly helps maintain fizz by actually storing the bottle in the fridge upside down. You dispense the soda upside down, too. I just wonder what happens to the bottle as it loses content. Will it create a vacuum and cause the bottle to collapse into itself? |

A long time ago I bought one of these things.... ...a screw on pressure pump top. Don't remember if it worked or not. Still have it. Might try it out again. |

No, not if you do it once in a blue moon. But from the stories you've told us, you seem to have a history of doing foolish things with your money. You've probably done who knows how many similar things that you haven't told us about. And seriously.... if you're going to splurge and drop $20 on a meal, you could do a helluva lot better than a plate of french fries, a glass of Pepsi and a bag of biscuits. |
