There's so much going on in Talk week to week that we almost can't keep up. If you're in the same boat, here's a small selection of topics and responses that have piqued our interest this week.

Where Were You When the Doritos Locos Taco Was Released?

"I was clipping my toenails and having my third cup of coffee when I read the news, it hit me like a ton of bricks, I dropped my toenail clippers on the hardwood floor and I think the chrome finish on them might be permanently marred." —redfish

I can't believe I ate the WHOLE THING... :-(

"After a decade sans Krispy Kreme doughnuts, I bought a dozen and ate them all in an hour. By myself.

Then I spread out on the floor and tried to decide if I was having a heart attack or not. I had the heartbeat of a hummingbird with all that sugar coursing though my body.

Is it weird that I'm kind of hungry remembering that?" —BrunswickStew

From Behind the Bar: In the Weeds

"I have a recurring nightmare I'm in the weeds expediting dressed in a giant pickle suit. I also know that when I wake up in the middle of the night because I had a nightmare where I didn't place a product order then wake up and can't go back to sleep b/c I cant remember if I did place a produce order....breath...that it's time to find a new job!" —IfYouCookIt

"My weeds nightmare involves running out of Pernod and a search for powdered Ouzo." —King Dufus

"I still remember the jingle (sung in 3/4 time):

My beer is Rheingold, the dry beer.
Think of Rheingold whenever you buy beer.
It's refreshing, not sweet.
It's the extra-dry treat.
Won't you try extra-dry Rheingold Beer?" —GardenStater
