Valentine's candy is too... cherry-filled for my tastes.

A nostalgic game liveblog.

Ditto.

Honestly the best Valentine's day I ever had was in college when me and the other single dudes in the dorm had "Singles Appreciation Day". We played Guitar Hero and then went out for buffalo wings. But yeah, otherwise it's basically "FOREVER ALONE: THE HOLIDAY" for me. I can count the number of actual dates I've had on one hand.

I never understood the allure of fruit-filled chocolate. Chocolates should be filled with either nougat, caramel, nuts, or some combination thereof.

I love Maraschino cherries!

I F***ING HATE CHERRIES!!!

And I LOVE chocolate, no matter the quality! ..........minus if its rotten, thrown away, and/or inedible in any way.

How do you hate... You know what? I'm not getting involved in a flame war over cherries.

Now, bananas, on the other hoof, I will defend with my life and the lives of thousands of others.

I never got the point of bananas. Why do they even exist?

They are basically flavorless. Now, I heard that fresh bananas straight out of the tree are actually quite tasty — can be, I wouldn't know that.

But the ones you get from the supermarket are the sorriest excuse for a fruit I ever heard. Perhaps they are a bit like persimmons — excellent when fresh, but utterly pathetic when plucked unripe and stored...

But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.

BLASPHEMY!

Actually, I've never had bananas off the ~~tree~~ stalk, either so I wouldn't know what a true banana tastes like.

They're pretty good in cereal.

I never had cereal since I was seven years old or so. I just don't get the point — it tastes like cardboard after a hobo discarded it...

Depends what kind of cereal. Stuff like corn flakes or regular Cheerios are pretty boring, but Honey Nut Cheerios are actually pretty good. Then you get into the sugary stuff like Cap'n Cruch or Froot Loops...

Also, Pineapple is best fruit.

I dunno. It's not bad, but it's a bit too sweet for my tastes.

I think that pear is best fruit, but that's probably just because my grandma has some pear trees, so I had occasion to eat them straight out of the tree...

I also like oranges. Pomegranates are also really good, but they're too work intensive to eat very often.

Anyway, I wonder how long it'll be before "X is best Y" ends up entering the vocabulary of the internet at large.

This is the best time of year to stock up on cinnamon candies (the small, red heart-shaped things). My family uses them once or twice a year to make cinnamon apples (IIRC, the recipe actually calls for cinnamon sticks, but we use the candies).

Strawberries are the best fruit! Along with raspberries, blackberries, oranges, and raw lemons!

Lemons are delicious.

I believe they're also horrid for your teeth, throat, and esophogus, but... details.

So...I sorta kinda broke down and watched more than one episode. Partly because I'd already seen "A Bird In The Hoof" for some reason, partly because I'd seen this.

Also: pshaw on your chocolate fruit hate. Pshaw, I say.

Valentine's Day never really worked for me.

Somepony made a dub of the After-Birthday Party scene from Party of One in which Pinkie's "friends" were voiced by Personality Spheres from Portal. Mr. Turnip was the Curiosity/Anger Core, Sir Lints-a-lot was the Space Core, Rocky was Rick the Adventure Core, and Madame LaFlour was the Fact Core.

Yes, fruits in chocolate, or worse yet chocolate glaced fruits, are just terrible. What's the point? "Fruity" and "chocolate sweet" are two completely different flavours that don't go well with each other.

As for bananas, your doing it wrong Carc

: Yeah, yellow bananas are not very tasty. You need to wait until they become dark yellow with the first brown spots. Then they have accumulated so much sugar that they're sweet and tasty, heh.

This. When they start to get speckled, that's when they've ripened to perfection.
