It’s also less perishable than milk so it good for offices etc if you don’t have access to a fridge

[@MicheleDoenges]

@@Shannehh1337 Creamers are often non-dairy, so people who are lactose intolerant can use them. They're easier and more affordable than nut-milk creamers, and they are shelf-stable, so they don't require a fridge.

[@barbaraedmondson7333]

Milk can "thin out" a coffee. The creamer can add a richness and body to coffee. We have powdered creamers that are usually nondairy, we have refrigerated liquid creamers, we also have what's called half and half, which is half cream half milk. Real cream is created when milk is churned. If you stop before it turns to butter, it becomes a cream that can be drank and whipped into meringue or other creamy dessert toppings. Whipped cream is popular in pie here in the states.

Fun fact about the West Germany stuff: the vase is actually from the Scheurich factory that started in 1928 that still exists and still makes vases and such. West Germany is actually a kind of style of vase, they're usually made in a certain way, by a few factories, and almost always in Germany, but also one in Austria. The vintage ones very sought after by vintages lovers in Western Europe. The numbers on the bottom mean model number and then the height of the vase. If you want to determine the age of the vase, you can try to do so with the sticker that's on it. The brand used different stickers throughout the years, so with some internet digging you can probably find out if your vase is vintage or from a more recent line. The little glass bowl I actually don't really know anything about. There is some West German glass/crystal, but that more than often has cut details in it. So maybe that one's modern, but I'm not sure.

Alex: They have enormous serving sizes Me: Laughs in American

[@pilferk]

And yes, Alex, those are pretty much the regular serving size for Arizona products (mostly iced teas). MOST other single serve drinks come in smaller containers...but not MUCH smaller.

Ooooh that coffee table is such a pretty type of wood, would be such a waste to paint it in my opinion 🙈 Would've bought it for that price in a heartbeat.

[@TheHillady]

I thought so too!! I'm actually not a pastel lover but I like watching Alex's content. So I get that she wants to make it pastel, but omg that coffee table is my aesthetic please don't xD

[@Darksideof29]

Suggestion for books since it is a guest room. Poetry about friendship, journal for you friends to leave a note about their stay and something interesting to read say suspense novel. You can put book covers on them to match you colors.

[@chellleighton9413]

Those are good ideas I was also thinking a book on plants would be cool since there is so many plants in the room

[@krislucero1741]

I like the journal idea💡!!! Maybe write some prompts on the pages to inspire her friends to write some memories down.

Dan Samuel's is honestly such a funny perfume for you to wear considering you live with two men : Dan and Sam

[@emmabooth5228]

I think the living situation has changed, just picking up that Alex went over to Sams to do the spoon flip video and that she has a new 'closet/ walk in wardrobe and spare room to make her pastel mark on. They still seem super close as a trio but we all grow as people and life situations change.

That Arizona can is pretty standard for the brand, there's only a few types of drinks that use that sort of can. It's mainly Arizona, Peace Tea and then certain types of alcohol. That is not a standard sized can for most types of soda.

Thank you for this comment. I had always thought goldfish were savoury and then she said they were vanilla flavoured and I got really confused. Lol

[@alyssiamartinez782]

The prices for the plants are crazy

[@Dr3Mc3Ninja]

Yeah, the American snacks are not really a thing in UK and I would assume Australia, too. They are like novelty items because they have such weird flavours. America seems to have loads of flavours for Oreos, Ben & Jerry's etc. But here, there are very few. We had a novelty American candy shop, and the prices were all extortionate. My guess is that the sugar content means there is a hefty tax on it, along with import tax.

[@KaylatheMariee]

When Alex said, “is this what Americans do?” When eating the pickle in her car I was dying because like a week ago I literally sat in my car and ate the pickle chips in a bag called dilly bites 😭😭😭 if you’ve never had them I 10/10 recommended

Coffeemate is basically just cream that you're meant to mix with your coffee.

[@tamsenverstynen9623]

Just make sure it's hot coffee, he powdered stuff won't mix into cold coffee.

[@crusty788]

"Did i just make a cup of hazelnut flavored powdered milk?" Yes Alex, yes you did. Creamer is heavy milk in America. It's much thicker and richer than regular milk. You were supposed to put the creamer into your coffee or tea.

[@bloodirose]

We actually have it here in Australia... But they only sell it plain... And I don’t think it’s that popular as most aussies just put milk in their coffee. I’ve never had it myself, but I see it in the supermarket. I’d love to be able to try the flavoured ones.

[@kirinchimera4707]

Anyone in the comments saying someone is saying something “wrong” is just not well traveled. Ignore those ignorant comments.

[@heybearnation]

Not really. There are variations in how to pronounce certain words but there also are wrong pronunciations. Period. Just because someone has a bad accent or isn't fluid, that doesn't mean their pronunciation is correct.

[@kirinchimera4707]

If you understand what a person was trying to communicate no matter what accent they use to pronounce it, then they have communicated effectively and correctly. How do you pronounce Adidas? Phonetically or colloquially? How do you pronounce Joseph or John if your accent or language pronounces J’s as h’s or y’s? All pronunciations are correct if the people communicating have the same understanding. Even sign languages have accents.

The overwhelming urge to go to a thrift store from this series is so strong it almost hurts. But I live in Chicago and Covid is currently kicking us in the ass every day.

[@BillysMom]

I want to go thrifting too, mainly for clothes because I need a new wardrobe but there isn't any thrift stores near me. I'd have to drive like a hour to go to one and I just don't want to go that far.

[@erinrafferty5659]

Heyyyy, Chicago here too! I'm a Poshmark reseller and I've been out thrifting occasionally, trying to build up stock for the inevitable next lockdown. It's honestly not bad. Everywhere I've been has been observing all the necessary precautions, masks on everyone, reduced capacity, the whole deal. It's not any scarier than getting groceries. I appreciate that you aren't going if you don't have to, though

[@katiezellers7106]

@@erinrafferty5659 I want to go so I can find jewelry components to flip for my Etsy store. I need to find cameos in particular. I honestly haven't stepped into a store since before February (Im agoraphobic) and any trips outside are basically car rides out by Ohare to get cigarettes with my mom. Im at a point where going out is more hassle and every place having different rules and capacities gives me anxiety so I just don't go. (Im also high risk so thats fun) I really want to go to Unique or the Salvation Army though. Sooo torn.
