I sometimes remember this, but then I get to the store and a cheesecake is $17 and I suddenly remember I don’t actually need it that bad
I am a slut for cheesecake
Oh my goooooood……
Unfortunately I need to be gluten free.
Which makes it a $35 cheesecake thats also smaller. Fuck you shoprite, and fuck you gastrointestinal system in my body.
I know the pain. Reminds me of my last road trip, where the best hot food option available was a pizza place that charged an extra $4 for a chickpea crust. $19 for a tiny, shittier pizza. No, thanks. Doritos and soda FTL.
I’m not gluten free, bur I hate cheesecake. Just add sugar to old cream cheese with no crust. Problem solved.
That’s way too much for cheesecake, who’s your cake guy?
Key lime pie is our benchmark, a new brand will appear for $7.99 or something, and then 3 weeks later they hike the price up to $14. I am not eating a $14 key lime pie from Kroger. Fuck right off with that.
It’s funny tho how junk food like pies, cakes, and especially CANDY have taken such an inflationary hike - it’s definitely got me eating better, and I am kind of glad for it (and we prove yet again that excise taxes work towards public health, these ones were just done for profit instead of funding waterways or clean air or some shit).
My local grocery store’s bakeshop sometimes puts up an 8-inch boston cream cake for only $12. I don’t know why it’s so cheap (a similar sized chocolate cake is $18-$22), but I can’t stop myself from buying it when it’s available. I can’t believe a cake that good costs just $12.
Idk, depends how good it is. In today’s market, ≤$2/serving is actually pretty good even for middling handmade baked goods. One slice at a restaurant would be 3 times that, on the low end, the high end could be the whole $17 or more. But also, yeah, no one needs cheesecake lol.
You can freeze leftover cheesecake.
Leftover cheesecake is my new favorite oxymoron.
I can attest that you cannot freeze leftover cheesecake simply because there never is any left over

The main ingredient in cheesecake is cream cheese, and you need like 2 lbs (32 oz) for an average cake, so that’s immediately like $9 before all other ingredients
yeah my mom makes cheesecakes to sell and never goes under 30 bucks. but i can guarantee it will be the best cheesecake of your life, and that is independantly verified
Cake mix is $5.
Then you do it, and your body punishes you for it this time, instead of your parents.
I remember one time as a young adult eating a cake for dinner, paired with a large beer.
I realized in the midst of my severe tummy ache that perhaps there are reasons why my parents didn’t let me do such things 😆
Yeah, your body will only accept so much sugar before everything gets out of whack
There really is one for everything huh
But can you consume the cake without suffering consequences?
The me with cake in me is a better me than the me without cake in me. There is no suffering from cake.
One time I was promised cake if I just did a series of tests on a prototype, though the tests seemed more like they were testing my problem solving skills rather than the prototype itself.
Anyways, the cake was great, so delicious and moist.
It was overall a very rewarding experience that I recommend everyone sign up for.
This is a lie
I actually installed it this week to give it another go, this timing is golden haha
I’m trying to nudge my daughter into playing it, but I guess I shared too many other interesting looking games with the family. A Game About Digging A Hole caught her eye first lol.
My son had beaten both Portal & Portal 2: before his fourth birthday. He’s 16 now and I guess he likes cats.
Lol at that age I remember my daughter thinking Mario Kart was like a movie where you picked your character and their vehicle, then watched them race (because auto steer and accelerate were on, which is good enough to finish middle of the pack, at least for 50cc).
These days she spends most of her gaming time on Minecraft.
My son still plays Roblox at 16. And other games, but he has some friends who like to play Roblox together.
Are you a lab mouse?
Aperture Science doesn’t test on animals, all tests are ethically done on humans, of which I am one who is definitely still alive after finishing all the tests and full of cake.
As an adult I’ve had enough stomach aches, and gained enough belly fat, and developed enough of a palette, to viscerally dislike eating lots of cake.
The child in me screams for cake
The stomach in my adult body screams for pepto
What’s pepto?
Pepto-Bismol.
Using science to fight bad decisions. It’s the American way.
buying poison and buying medicine to maximise profit
Bismuth subsalicylate, or pink bismuth.
Yep, if I really want cake I’ll pay the ridiculous price for a single slice. Yes it’s expensive, but it’s cheaper than buying a whole cake, and I know after that one piece I won’t want anymore for a long time.
Tried this once while watching Matilda when I got to that scene. Paused it and went to the store and bought a gallon of milk, then stopped by portillos and got a chocolate cake.
Later that night I had big regrets
I can do it without a car.
The death of innocence is reaching the point where you could do that, but it wouldn’t even make you happy because of health reasons.
Nice try cake making industry.
Pouring one out for all the folks out there who have to get in a car to go to a bakery
Yeah! I get baked at home!
what’s the relevance of the car. who is selling cakes in their car? do they eat the cake in the car? is this an american thing?
option C)
Instead of “I will do such-n-such”, they have to say “I will get in my car and do such-n-such”
Ah but you see I bike there, which means that it is healthy! Fitness is my passion.
I run often, and unfortunately it’s a lot harder to stay thin as I’m pushing 40 than it was when I was pushing 20. And by stay thin I mean stay average.
Kurzgesagt had a good video on exercise that basically talked about how, if you exercise regularly, your body basically doesn’t burn the calories the same. If you’re a couch potato and then you start to exercise, you will get a benefit, but then there’s diminishing returns from continuing to exercise, to the point your body now says “hey, this is my new normal,” and essentially burns the same calories whether you’re on the couch or exercising. There’s a lot more nuance to it in the video.
It seems we’re all doomed to just get old.
Can also bake one.
On top of probably tasting better, it’s also more fun.
As an adult, I can’t stand cake and refuse to eat it no matter whose birthday or wedding or whatever it is, and I don’t care who I piss off.
Of all the opinions I’ve ever heard, this is certainly one of them.
I can kind of get it when overly generous people bring in food and want everyone to eat and join in the good vibes. Some can be rather pushy. But definitely too extreme.
Why would I be pissed that you don’t eat cake? That’s more cake for me.
People get oddly offended about that sort of thing.
I hate this about growing up. Once you can do the thing, you no longer wanna. :(
