Much better than the taste of say, Zephyrhills. That water should be called Choctawhatchee River Refreshment.

At this point, Chanel No. 5 just smells like “old rich lady sitting alone in her upper west side apartment”.

Reply to comment by FinancialArmadillo93 in Klan Pamphlet from 1924 by AssumptionWinter4442
What are you talking about here?
Your comment is just so weird and misses the actual historical context by so much that I don’t even know where to begin.
The Klan didn‘t burn witches.
More Men were burnt for Witchcraft than women in the Northern Europe, while more women were persecuted in Southern Europe. It has never really been a thing that women get prosecuted for witchcraft but men don‘t.
Prosecution for Witchcraft also wasn‘t really a religious thing, since the Church hated it and condemned it, but rather a reaction to colder climates and shortages and the mistrust that followed - it‘s telling that most people executed for being witches were wealthy and old. And while it was framed around beliefs of devilworship and Christian belief, that was certainly not the cause, but only the attempt of legitimization. The same way people tried to rationalize the concept of a hierarchy of races through science and thus tried to legitime the awful things they did. It‘s just the framework of the time.
Also, the Klan explicitly persecuted Catholics. The religious denomination(s) the Klan espoused didn’t even exist when the witches were burned.
The first point about religious fanaticism is kinda understandable in a super general way, as in hyper religious people in all of human history and places tended to do exclusion and persecution, but the attempt of making a point about men and women is just lacking any connection here.
Not only are you comparing two things that really have nothing to do with each other, your underlying understanding of these things is also wrong. There is no connection there other than the moral depths Humanity can reach if they feel another group of people is different and inferior to themselves.

They're not "called fun sized", they're like half the size of a fun size.

There's women in the kkk too. They welcome all kinds of POS. They just have to be racist and stupid.

Okay, I just looked it up. In the USA a full-size Snickers is 57g, in Spain it's 50g, so my "full size" is slightly smaller than a USA full size.
A USA "Fun Size" is 17g. A USA mini is 9g, and a Spain mini is 10.3g.
So while my full size is slightly smaller than a USA full size, and my mini is slightly larger than a USA mini, they aren't Fun Size.

The real story is that full size Snickers have been shrinkflated by 12% in parts of the world.
