    Honestly though, I actually enjoyed watching Trap Kitchen’s part, that is a hell of a lot of passion!!! Honestly it feels so good to see some sort of camaraderie among rap culture. And I normally associate rap culture with rather the opposite, but this puts a smile on my face to see them doing something that matters and is useful is so satisfying!

    I gotta agree with the old lady at the end. Good food is good food.
    Also, why does everyone think it's strange when you mix certain things together? It's like people fear new flavors. When I go to Mexican restaurants I mix the jamaica with the limonada and they always look crazy and ask "are you sure???". It's basically a Mexican Arnold Palmer and it's tasty af, you'll love it.
