They had a Southern Tea version that started a few “best night ever” stories.

You know, I drive my DH crazy (surprised? Anyone?) by being able to eat the same thing over and over for years without getting sick of it.
But I can’t commit to cereal now (or a soda in HS).

That’s what we called it too. As an adult, I can see why my parents hated me calling it that, but it was my rebellion phase.

I panic at pop quizzes.
There’s something rattling around in the memory banks but I’m not getting anything firm (I know…I know.)
Tom Hanks keeps fighting with Will Ferrell though. What was it?
Oh crap, Matthew McConaughey just showed up too… Yeah, I got nothing.

The best was back when Dairy Queen had Mr. Mistys in all sorts of flavors and we’d get a suicide Mr. Misty!! Yum! And ya as an adult it feels a bit awkward calling them that now.

After taking much input from the fam (which I may or may not choose to ignore as I wish in my role as matriarch), “we” have settled on the following classifications for our family. YMMV.
Snacks are anything smaller than a normal meal portion eaten between meals. A child’s portion may qualify as a snack. Splitting a normal meal portion may qualify as a snack. A normal meal portion may even be considered a snack if normally timed meals are still eaten (or were intended to be eaten!). Any type of food substance may qualify as a snack. Including soup.
Beverages are not snacks, but may take the place of a snack. Beverages are intended to be sipped from a cup or through a straw. The edition of accessory chewables (boba, ice, etc) does not change its intended beverage status, nor would putting it in a bowl just because, nor if a thicker-than-usual status suggests a spoon to be useful (such as shakes and icees). However, adding an ingredient in a form that is normally eaten with a utensil converts it to a snack (ex. a float). We acknowledge there is thus a fine line between a shake being a beverage but a float being a snack but that’s where we’ve landed. (Not unanimously.) Consuming something as if it were a beverage (ex. cup-a-soup) does NOT change its classification to a beverage.
A collection of snacks can take the place of a meal (ex. tapas). Appetizers are really just snacks timed to be eaten before a normal meal potion at a mealtime. Calling them appetizers when eaten singly between meals will invoke an eye roll.
And if DH wants cereal to be considered a soup, I will grant that. Because he pays for it. As well as the Disney trips.
Please proceed with your “snack” suggestions and I re-categorize them on my end as needed if necessary.

No. You don’t get to just change classifications cause you fancy it. Society is based on rules.
Wow. Grand slam. Not one correct classification or justification for such either. I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul.

That’s the “Supa Hot Fire” gif (in image form). You use it when someone really nails a joke or performance or something.
