I would say underrated because my,

one of my best memories of my grandmother

was giving my brother a Van Halen mixed tape

and it made him so happy and they rocked out so hard.

It was like the power of Van Halen

that brought them together.

Totally overrated.

I'm from Jersey and they got Dunkin' Donuts everywhere.

And I will say 7-Eleven's gone downhill

since I was a kid.

I mean I remember their slushees being pretty amazing

and now they like, they used to have like six options

and now there's like one or two.

And it's definitely more ice than flavor these days.

And the coffee there is definitely

not as good as Dunkin' Donuts.

Oral sex snorkels.

I've never heard of this so I'll say underrated

because I want to know more about it.

It sounds like something that will come in handy

for people that definitely need to go longer.

Overrated.

It is one of the most depressing things ever

when you catch everybody walking around

the convenience store like zombies.

Not even hungry just like poking at the Hostesses

and like just avoiding the sweets

but you keep circling around and you're like

do I get the chips or do I get the nuts.

Or do I just go for a water or do I go for a coffee?

It's like three in the afternoon.

It's that weird time.

It's yeah, definitely overrated.

Underrated.

I'm living the nostalgia every day of my life.

I mean I was born in '81 so that was my whole childhood

and still a lot of it rings true.

And I feel like there's such a 90s comeback right now

in Sonics and

in dressing even that it actually makes me feel at home.

Makes me feel like I understand

the climate right now a little bit more.

In some ways.

I would say overrated.

Because I just feel like I'm on acid

when I'm taking edibles and there's no way to really know.

And I don't like being out of control

and I feel like for kids,

this is how they're basing their,

their tolerance levels on

and it's actually really dangerous.

As an adult that has experience in trying

to be safe I have had times where

I wasn't sure if that's what

I was actually taking it was so strong.

And I get nervous for kids that

are just popping them like crazy.

That's just not good for your body.

I'm such a nerd, sorry.

Always know your dealer.
