Olive Garden is absolutely disgusting Italian food.

Unlimited bread, but in real life. Unlimited blows. No, that's ly are awesome. The pasta is good. The so is good. The pasta is probably about 20 minutes overcooked.

You would choose pizza over donuts for the rest of your life because you can't eat donuts every day

Light beer. America was like, you know what? Beer is good. I wish there was slightly less taste that you could drink 10 times as many them...

A solo hungover Chinese food order must be at least $75

If you order Chinese food by yourself, by the way, when you're hungover and you are under $75, you're doing it wrong. Because what you need to do when you're hungover and you're ordering Chinese food is you order every single thing that you might just want a little taste of.

Ice cream is the most efficient way to cool your core down during a hangover

I'm going to go with just ice cream because it's so easy. You don't have to worry about chewing it... it cools your core down when you get that hangover where you're dehydrated and you have that lava core. You're sitting on your couch sweating, but if you have the ice cream, it cools you down more efficiently than anything else could.

While cold food lowers internal temperature slightly, there's no medical evidence it's the 'most efficient' way to recover from a hangover compared to hydration or electrolytes.
