Which Disney parks have you been to? None... yet.

Thirst! I'd forgotten about those! They were kind of foamy weren't they?

I like the blackcurrant pastilles best too!

Grits.

[haanzsprungveld.livejournal.com]

Grits are coarse parts of stone ground maize... typically boiled into a porridge consistency.
Blame "My Cousin Vinny" for that pearl of wisdom.
Though you really should use hominy grits, which are soaked in lye before cooking. Otherwise the thymine gets locked up.

Apparently the Stirling Council actually DOES sort through the rubbish at the tip. My MIL (who also lives in the Stirling Council) goes there often and gets good deals on the 'salvageable' stuff that they sell. She's bought books that look brand new and stuff like that.
