    True. I earned better than my younger siblings. I also had more education, and experience, which are factors.

    Older siblings make money working more because they get started sooner.

    Not much worth commenting on today especially when the Spanish archaeologists discovered wine in Spain!

    That’s all I’d need is more Doritos flavors! I’ve been on Keto for my health for five years, no more Doritos.

    While there are many great things about having a sibling, one of the best is having somebody else to pin the blame on.

    I’m not at all disappointed that we don’t get those Doritos flavors here.

    My oldest sibling was a notorious spendthrift. Now she’ls almost a pauper.

    That Dorito sentence needs an Oxford comma for clarity. Does the butter go with the yuzu or the soy sauce? Or both?

    Lots of interesting and different flavours in Japan that you cannot get unless you visit or have local source like a local “Japantown.” I used to frequent the Japantown shops in San Jose and San Francisco and now visit Vancouver. Real wasabi, not the dyed horseradish, and other stuff.

    And Spain has ham-flavored Doritos! See how Ripley’s cleverly integrates combinations?

    Someone offered me a Kit-Kat bar from Japan that was kelp-flavored.

    I was like “What the hell is that?!”

    To find out what kind of liquid accompanied the deceased during the last 2,000 years, the experts resorted to chemical analysis. Ruiz Arrebola’s team suspected from the outset that it might have been wine—the drink had great spiritual significance in the ancient world and was closely linked to religious rites and burials. It was clear from the start, however, that after 2,000 years, the liquid would have little in common with the original wine. The research group therefore analyzed chemical traces—the salts and trace elements contained in the grapes and possible traces of alcohol. Finally, Ruiz Arrebola and his colleagues looked for a class of substances that is typical of wine: polyphenols.…

    Every Doritos flavor in existence, plus a whole lot of other chip flavors and other stuff you probably don’t really care about…

    The older sibling makes the money off the younger sibling … My older brother used to charge me a dime to read his 10-cent comic book. He kept the comic book, and he would use *my dime to buy another comic book!

    I should have bought one myself, but I did not have transportation to the store. Grrrrrr!

    Yuzu is a great flavor! If you like Meyer lemon, you won’t hate yuzu at all.

    My big brother made a few millions in real estate, but later died in poverty. I’ve always worked for a paycheck, and am living quite comfortably in retirement. Those who fly higher, fall much farther when the wind blows the wrong way.

    Not in my family. My older brother was the first born and served as the prototype. I learned how to make better decisions by his bad choices in life. Choices have consequences.

    Doritos pair well with wine.
