People can get pretty creative when it comes to food, especially snacks.

There's just something about the quick, utilitarian nature of snacking—which often involves whatever you can find around the kitchen—that leads to some really individualism.


Redditor ThrewTheDoor asked:

"What’s a weird little snack you like making for yourself?"

Blue Milk

"A glass of whole milk(skim, low fat etc... don't work) and an ungodly amount of frozen blueberries in a tall glass."

"The milk like freezes to the blueberries In a cool way and it sounds wierd but I've been doing this since I was like 10."

"Also I eat it with a spoon, I don't just drink it."

- Rock_Pond

"Put frozen blueberries in a bowl. Pour half and half or cream on top, it solidifies almost as good as those hard-shell ice cream toppings!"

"Sprinkle a bit of sugar on top and it's a freakin' delicious dessert."

- TangoDeltaFoxtrot

Mmmmmmaple

"Vanilla ice cream, maple syrup and cinnamon."

"I call it French Toast Ice cream. Soo good."

- Tiefighter21

Crumbs

"When there are only a few tortilla chips and crumbs at the bottom of the bag, I crush them all really well and pour them into a small bowl. Then I add a couple spoonfuls of salsa, stir, and begin shoveling."

- Greigh_flanuhl

"This is essentailly chilaquiles. Some time try it for brunch with an egg."

- stuck_in_traffic

"My dad used to call it Mexican cereal."

- corpsreviver

Po-Ta-Toes

"Mashed potato pizza."

"I spread some mashed potatoes on a pizza tray and bake them at 400 degrees until they are golden brown on top, then add pizza sauce, mozzarella and whatever leftovers I've got laying around. Then bake in the oven for another 15min at 400."

"It's kind of like a Shepherd's Pie Pizza."

- GoliathPrime

"Croutons. Just croutons. Maybe I'll dip them in some ranch if I'm feeling fancy."

- CatLadyGrip

"And other salad toppings: wonton strips, tortilla strips, crispy jalapeños..."

- 3plantsonthewall

"I’ll have all the sesame sticks, thank you very much."

- Crunchy__Frog

"Funny story, when my brother and I were kids (in the early 80’s) salad bars were starting to become a big thing. My brother always wanted the salad bar when we went out to eat."

"He would only get shredded cheese, croutons and bacon bits. That’s it. No lettuce. Just a bowl of cheese, croutons and bacon bits."

- DogsCatsKids_helpMe

"The Italian War Crime"

"Take a tortilla"

"Put pizza sauce on it, add Italian seasoning, apply 6 pepperoni"

"Roll a cheese stick in all of that"

"Throw it in the microwave for 25-30 seconds"

"Enjoy"

- placeholderNull

Dip In

"I dip nacho cheese Doritos in cottage cheese."

- SSDestiel

"ME TOO!!!! Sour cream too."

"Cottage cheese is an underrated thing to mix other stuff with; it also actually melts decently well. I sometimes put it in burritos and melt it."

It's a teacher's job to leave a lasting impression and set a good example for their students.

With this in mind, particularly in this age of viral videos and social media, teachers have to be very careful of what they say during class hours.

Even so, there are very few teachers who haven't said something they've regretted when teaching a class.

Sometimes to control unruly students, other times when they've simply had enough.

Then too, sometimes teachers leave their students baffled and perplexed by what they say in their classroom, well aware of what they were saying.

Always making for a memorable story.

As a kid, I never raised alarm bells even when I started to feel sick. My mom got stressed easily and was busy taking care of my younger brother, so I never wanted to be a burden by making her take me to the doctor only to find out nothing was wrong.

However, in fifth grade, my ears started to hurt and I knew something was wrong. I told my mom, she took me to the doctor, and I found out I had an ear infection.

Now, an ear infection isn't serious at all, and it was easily treatable. Still, I learned something from that experience: no one knows your body better than you. You know if and when you're sick and how serious it is, even if you don't now exactly what is wrong.

Redditors can corroborate this. Many of them have experienced symptoms that told them they were sick in some way -- usually with a very serious illness -- and are ready to share those experiences.

When in the beginning stages of dating, it's important to know as much as humanly possible.

The element of surprise is no longer a fun aspect of romance.

Ask the small questions. Ask the hard questions.

Interrogate. Grill. Investigate.

Of course, you should do it with a subtle hand instead of an interrogation lamp.

The truth is all we have.

Ask everything.

As much as we always hop for our dating efforts to be worth it and for every relationship to work out, we all know that some relationships are not destined to work out.

But sometimes relationships end for totally valid reasons, and sometimes the reasons are painful, if not devastating.
