The original and best

A thought occurs.

Go have a drink of something, or a bowl of cereal (dunno why it’s more noticeable in these, but hey).

Now have another one.

Why does the first always taste much better than the second?

Hmmmmm.

Maybe because your full after one bowl of cereal. :slight_smile:

it is the power of the first, the first time you have something you get that wonderful sense of satisfaction that you have fulfilled your need, yet if you have it again that magic has worn off and it doesn’t have that ‘first time’ magic

simple answer…

its the law of deminishing returns.

You know, this thread was much better the first time I read it…

Re: The original and best

Because after the first glass, you’re too drunk to taste the second.

Re: simple answer…

Does it apply to alcohol?

Re: Re: The original and best

…In which case the question of why the first glass tastes better comes second place to why I’m getting drunk from fruit juice… :slight_smile:

Indeed, I think it all went downhill after the first post…

Re: Re: simple answer…

yes, when you lurch forward and heave. those returns are quite deminishing

Re: Re: simple answer…

I think alcohol actually tastes better the more you drink…

It’s never as good on the way up as it is on the way down

Re: Re: Re: simple answer…

wow :roll_eyes: im flattered

Re: Re: The original and best

Yes, it did. But I meant that reading this thread the second time was like my second bowl of cereal – it wasn’t as good. I was just trying to be witty.
