[Opinions] Re: Frances vs Mabel
in reply to a message by RDNZL
I have no idea what "So I says to Mabel, I says...." refers to. I've never heard that.I choose Mabel too, with no hesitation. I like it a lot. I've always been so-so on Frances. Sometimes I like it, but sometimes it sounds like frosting on a cake to me---sticky and too sweet. Well, frosting can't be too sweet, but a name can.

Until RDNZL mentioned it I didn't automatically think of "So I says to Mabel, I says...." when I heard the name Mabel. It was a line used in the Simpson's, I could have sworn it was also a Bugs Bunny line but it is not. Apparently it originally comes from a vaudeville act.

I disagree. Frosting can definitely be too sweet.

Agree.

I’ve literally thrown up because of too-sweet frosting, though, haha. But because of my overarching love for Sheldon (who watched Young Sheldon last night?), I will say you win, haha.

I almost always find frosting to be too sweet but I can't handle much sugar so I am not the norm.
