1/4 of a dollar is not a dollar........ who knew?

Next you'll be telling me that 1/4 of a mile isn't a mile! hah! Like I'd fall for that!

Damn! No wonder my last trip to Florida took so long.....

Ive never heard of using Pop Rocks. I've heard of using Altoids for added pleasure though lol

I'd had that "quarter dollar" thing pulled on me.... but it was when the state quarter series first started. The quarters before that carried the same phrase, but it's much more noticeable on a coin you've never seen before (especially when it's on the front where the date used to go) and it confused someone temporarily.

I never did understand why they didn't just put "Twenty-Five Cents" on the quarter (or 50-cent piece) for simplicity's sake.

Probably because then the dum-dums couldn't figure out how many they would need to make a full dollar.

Not that the woman in the OP would understand that...

Yeah, I suppose I could sell my customers 1/4 yard of fabric and claim it's a yard...

[dalesys]

... sell my customers 1/4 yard ... claim it's a yard...

Why not. That's what we Shakespearean men do.

Just as an aside, but y'all know what causes that "pleasant tingling" reaction when CO2 bubbles burst on your tongue, whether from poprocks or soda?

Acid. The CO2 combines with the H2O to form Carbonic Acid. Yep, you're burning your tongue - or wherever else you've put it.

[DGoddessChardonnay]

I was right, I did not want to know *laughs*

Me neither.

First thing that popped into my head was "What??? Does she have a date with an 8 year old???" Which would be just as creepy if not creepier . . .

Sugary powder which can be sprinkled strategically, I'm guessing?

Helps to hide the fish flavor.

<runs away!>

[HYHYBT]

How about doing that with the application of soap and water?

Popping Candy and Jelly (Jello for the Americans, not the PB&J sandwich stuff which we call Jam).

It's even more confusing than that for us over here in the US ^_^

Here, "jelly" and "jam" are two different forms of preserved, processed fruit-in-a-jar. The former, iirc, contains more sugar; the latter tends to be smoother and more gelatinous. A third form is "preserves", which is (US-form) jelly with fruit seeds and bits of fruit large enough to see and add texture to the final product.

Sugary powder which can be sprinkled strategically, I'm guessing?

Most likely, but I would think that much sugar 'down there' on a lady could possibly cause a yeast infection? Boobs would be a better place to use confectionary stuff, JIC.

Haha Danny's singing something about pop rock nipples, insane girl Don't think she'll look at the candy aisle at the supermarket the same way again, or nutella.

Or you could confuse a football fan by insisting that a quarterback and a fullback were the same.
