I remember this kid had flavored reeds for his clarinet or whatever and he kept slobbering all over them.

Well one day he opens his case and they were all green. Green like their minty fresh flavor right? No. Green with something fuzzy growing on it.

Kids are so fucking gross. They’re some of the funniest people you’ll ever meet, they're great I love em, but they can be so fucking gross sometimes.

probably tastes about the same as the candies my grandma used to give us when we were kids .. horehounds and other terrible "candies"

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 16 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Granny candies!

Every other thing was licorice flavored and everything that wasn't tasted like a shoe

I'm looking at you, "root beer" barrels

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 5 points 6 months ago

forgot all about the root beer barrels.. oof

You can send all of those candies to me, I’ll happily take them. Yes, even the strawberry bon bons

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 10 points 6 months ago

horehound

I had to google that. And the moment I saw the candies I could taste them. Bleh!

I still have my rosin for my bass bow somewhere, the neat thing with the bass one is it's not in a little wooden case like this one so you can sort of put it into sunlight and melt it back into place if it breaks. Prob has a lot of my finger oils on it tho

Bass Rosin will slowly seep if it’s left on its side

[–] Wmill@hexbear.net 6 points 6 months ago

Yeah the little case it was in kept it mostly in one place for me, I promised myself one day I'd get a bass and I'd use my rosin again...

[–] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 11 points 6 months ago

Mmmm, Rosin

I've never played a string instrument in my life, I take it that's some sort of string wax or something?

[–] Posadas@hexbear.net 16 points 6 months ago

Close, it's tree resin. You rub the bow on it so it can get more friction on the strings.

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 13 points 6 months ago

it's rosin, gives the bow more friction against the strings

Mmmmm musical soldering flux

[–] roux@hexbear.net 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Doesn't taste as good as the rosin core solder, ngl.

[–] vovchik_ilich@hexbear.net 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Solder just doesn't hit the same ever since they made it lead-free smh

Hello, fellow child of the 80s che-smile

[–] vovchik_ilich@hexbear.net 4 points 6 months ago

I'm actually late 90s, but I was lucky enough to enjoy the good solder that dad passed on. Solder joints have never been shinier
