Is there anything "instant" that doesn't suck?

[jobycom]

Instant grits, instant oatmeal, instant mashed potatoes. I don't drink it, but I'll bet instant coffee and instant tea suck! The only thing worse than them making this stuff is when stores ONLY sell the instant version!!

:mad:

1. gratification of the id

2. Instant miso soup is pretty good

I like the kind with green onions, wakame, and little chunks of tofu.

[Ravenseye]

10. yeah agreed

I love instant miso.

[Benfea]

36. Agreed.

I'm too impatient to make it the right way.

[Deja Q]

7. Rush on viagra?

:hide:


Oops sorry, he sucks. As to the literal meaning of that is still not determined... but, figuratively, he sucks. Especially his two-faced show...

[jobycom]

8. C'mon, Rush is a selfish prig

You KNOW it's instant.

9. Instant Hot Chocolate

11. If something is supposed to take a while to make

there is usually a reason behind that - to try and remove or reduce that time-scale is going to ruin that reasoning.

I've got another one to add - it isn't quite "instant" but "quick cook pasta" which is horrifically noxious. :puke:

[billyskank]

12. Especially when pasta hardly takes ages anyway

I agree 100%. The only instant things that don't suck are things that are instant by their nature.

And instant mash - what the fuck is that about? How hard is it to peel, boil and mash some potatoes? :wtf:

13. Instant coffee is Satan's spittle n/t

[DrGonzoLives]

14. Instant coffee

is serviceable in the morning when all I want is some caffeine to drink on the 30-minute drive to work so I can be awake when I get there.

Worst thing ever: instant rice. :puke:

[eyepaddle]

32. Instant coffe is wonderul when

you are camping and it is cold and rainy--truly one of life's least expected, yet most sublime pleasures.

[Sequoia]

15. Instant vacation

[jobycom]

16. Combined with "Instant Opening Scotch" and some instant ice, eh?

[Sequoia]

25. Of course....ice!

But I'll have rum instead.

[IdaBriggs]

17. By any chance are you the jobycom who is going to be in

Columbus this weekend? :)

[jobycom]

26. No... Odd, where'd you find another Jobycom?

I've been to Columbus, once, many years ago. Ohio, I assume you mean. I'm more likely to go to Columbus, Mississippi.

[IdaBriggs]

29. A friend from gaming conventions. This weekend is Origins, and

he's going to be working there. I don't get to go, and will be abandoned by my husband for FOUR WHOLE DAYS!!! :woohoo:

Urp. I mean :cry:

[jobycom]

33. Hm. He stole my name!

Then again, you're going to be alone for four days...? Oh, wait, I'm going to Mississippi. Never mind. :)

[TrogL]

18. instant cameras

great for pron

[anarch]

19. instant death

Much, much better than the not-so-popular "long, drawn out, and painful death".

[KamaAina]

20. Instant messaging

actually, come to think of it, it can suck when overused...

[jobycom]

27. Okay, yeah, I'll agree on that one!

On both your points. Nice avatar, too.

[KamaAina]

21. Instant replay

in fact, it can be used to show that the referees suck!

[jpgray]

22. Instant gratification

In the wrong context one could be collateral damage to it, though.

[tallahasseedem]

23. Instant Breakfast

Yum! I love the chocolate one.

[hfojvt]

24. instant Kool-aid is pretty good

Drink up!

[madinmaryland]

31. There were 59 million people who drank

that stuff in Nov. 2004...

:grr:

[TimeChaser]

38. ... but it tastes good on shaved ice

:P

[Pierre.Suave]

28. Hey now

I like instant oatmeal, it is a good quick breakfast for me...

I also like instant hot cocoa, minute rice (is that instant), and instant gratification...;)

[LaraMN]

30. Leprechauns.

:crazy:

[sakabatou]

34. Instant cappacino?

[Patiod]

35. I love instant grits. Especially the flavored kind

and instant iced tea, but I'm a northerner, so what do you expect?

I also like "sort of instant" rice - Success rice, and I put up with instant ice tea because bottled ice teas all have high fructose corn syrup now.

Hate instant mashed potatoes and instant coffee (especially when "real" coffee can be made really quickly while camping with a little filter cone-holder that fits right over your cup, and french press only takes 4 minutes after you boil the water.

[bettyellen]

37. instant expresso makes great quick iced coffee

horrible expresso though. it's also terrific in brownie batter.

[ET Awful]

39. Instant Pudding
