Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Dont they just put hot coffee in a weird plastic bag thing and let it cool down to room temperature? Nasty shit, Dunkins iced coffee.
sort of yes. you take the canister and line it with the plastic bag. then you fill it (about half) with ice, and put it under the brewer. The coffee is brewed 2x as strong so when the ice dilutes it is .. not actually diluted.
Cold brew is coffee pouches put in the same plastic lined container, and stored in the fridge overnight.
I drink Iced Americanos (a spoiled one I am). They brew a double shot of espresso into a metal canister, and pour it over 3/4 full cup of Ice, and add water to fill.
I dont really care for dunkins Iced coffee, but it is not that gross to make it really. The dairy cream/milk machines helped me go vegan though, they are.. so nasty. We clean them, but, ew. You can pull my iced Americano from my cold dead hands though, and not a moment before.
edit,
read a bit of the article. The amount of sugar in some of the beverages people would order was/is levels that are, objectivly, gross and dangerously unhealthy.
A lady one time came in an ordered a medium ice coffee, with carmel, sugar, and cream, but she wanted 8/8/8. 8 carmel pumps, 8 sugars, 8 cream. Standard for a medium is 3.
there was no room in the cup for coffee, we handed this "coffee" out, with no coffee in the cup. I will never forget it.
Some of the specialty drinks.. are just pure sugar loaded ontop of more sugar. ( btw swirls already have sugar, and some even have dairy, why do people add more on top?) but this regular fella was coming in every morning, for weeks, and ordering a drink and food, The total calories were a whopping 1400, just for breakfast, and I forget how much exactly, but his meal was over 100g of sugar. I calculated it out of disgust one day. I dont know how he was able to eat/drink that everyday. I remember he always got whip cream and both drizzles, and cookie crumbles, and then food on top of this outright bizarre dessert drink. 1400 calories at 9am. my god.
one lady would order a latte with uh, cream. like, large hot latte (just a double shot of esspresso, usually with milk added) but she wanted cream. nothing like drinking a pint of heavy cream first thing in the morning eh?
but, just like, educate people on sugar. this admin cant be fuckin trusted. like others have said, they probably just want a payout.
