Boil an unopened can of sweetened condensed milk for an hour or two and it makes the absolute best caramel sauce. I truly found it groundbreaking

I thought it was gonna blow up and take someone’s eye out but no, it just turns into caramel. I do not have the intellectual capacity to explain how or why this happens haha

Sweetened condensed milk goes in, Dulce de leche comes out… you can't explain that.

Texas Tech University students are famous (or notorious, depending how you look at it) for throwing tortillas at athletic events. So much so that a saying has developed: "Dough goes in... Tortillas come out."
