That's not frosting on the cinnamon buns!
Since tetradecimal took the bullet for me, AND my finals are over, I bring you beautiful, wonderful, lovely Cinnabon wank.

Over on Bad Service unbrokenwings posts a recent story about running into a debit card minimum at Cinnabon while purchasing a drink. She works under hot lights and gets thirsty, and Cinnabon has the biggest, cheapest drinks. unbrokenwings usually only purchases drinks there because she has a wheat allergy and cinnamon buns make her want to hurl. Fair enough, right?

Well, sjaustin is not going to let that stand! How dare unbrokenwings go into a place that sells products she finds nauseating to buy other products she likes! Even after unbrokenwings says she finds most other places that sell food to have the same effect on her, sjaustin is still unrepentant!

I'm arguing with you because you're contradicting yourself all over the place. Slow day? No, it's called "lunch." Most people who work those cushy office jobs get a whole hour in the middle of the day to do with as we please.

Gosh, you would think the food at every place being nauseating would be more motivation for you to bring your own drinks. Maybe you're exaggerating just a bit?

darsynia tries to use logic, but it is of no use!

Dear God this is so beautiful, I think I might cry.

And then, to add a beautiful wank topping to the wank-cake, the wank is posted to SF_Drama and sjaustin shows up in the comments!

And then I dance around in circles because I know a wank like this mean CINNAMON BUN RECIPES IN THE COMMENTS AND ALSO I GOT 20 OUT OF 19 ON MY ENGLISH FINAL YAY!!!!

I am bizarrely immune to this, which is in a way good, because I'm prone to randomly vomiting without much or any provocation_{(in fact, when I should vomit - oh, Forensics classes - I'm usually just fine)}. If I've eaten it more than once, I've probably hurled it. Now, if it gives me heartburn, on the other hand, I probably won't eat it again for a good long while... (Bacon, looking at you).

	Me, too! I blame being vomit-y a lot as a kid. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Oh good, I thought I was the only one, and a freak. I wasn't even especially vomity when young or anything. The strange thing is that I can vividly *remember* instances of certain foods being involved in a vomiting experience... but it hasn't particularly put me off those foods.

I do kind of wonder, though, if this is the root of my Tomato Phobia. I don't like raw tomatoes (unless they have been carefully degooped, deseeded and deskinned; then I can mostly deal), and just the *thought* that a dish was prepared in a way that would involve careless chunks of tomato and seeds is enough to make me steer well clear of it. So I can deal with heavily-processed tomato (pizza is fine if it's not the kind that takes pride in its "rustic" sauce) -- but a slice of tomato on a sandwich? Oh hell no.

The thing is that I have always known this was psychological... and always wondered where it came from. I do have an overall psychological Thing about "tiny hard seeds" (raspberries and strawberries = no; seeds that are tiny but not that hard, like sesame = fine), and tomatoes may feed into that, but it's also the whole package. Yet I don't have any specific memory of getting very sick from a raw tomato. I *do* have a specific "memory" (I wonder if it's real) of my grandmother thinking, "the child likes salt, if we just give her a big ol' slice of Jersey beef tomato with plenty of salt on it, she'll like it"... I was REALLY little, and... NO. Maybe that was the origin of it, because my memory is of this thing being shoved at me and it being scary somehow, but... I don't remember sickness being associated with it.

I can top that: I've eaten something for breakfast (mayonnaise toast, for example), thrown it up, and then eaten the same object for lunch. It just does't make me want to stop eating something if find it tasty.

And sometimes things can just be somehow inherently gross with no apparent cause. I'm an extraordinarily unpicky eater and readily eat bizarre combinations, but there are a few things where just the thought of putting it in my mouth is gross. Boiled eggs, mostly. Nothing specifically ever put me off of them; I just really don't like them.

If I stopped eating a food after throwing up/getting sick after it, I wouldn't be eating or drinking anything at all. I once suffered a nasty bout of food poisoning from a few spoonfuls of noodles, and I'm eating the same dish within a month (though not in the same restaurant \o_O/).

But I guess I'm weird in that tendency to refuse to be scared to eat certain foods because they made me ill before (<--does that even make sense)? So I'll eat it again just to prove nothing's actually wrong, the vomiting was a fluke, etc etc, then it's all well and good again.

	My reactions seem to go away after a few years if the trauma is entirely digestion-based. Now, anything covered in soy sauce thick enough to smell... nng. That brings back bad memories. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Same here. One time I was out at a restaurant, excused myself to go throw up, then came back to the table and finished my dinner. My friends are perhaps a little too used to my canary-like-constitution. (Reply to this)(Parent)
