Depending on where you live, there may be minimum code requirements for sound isolation between residential units and their adjacencies. In the US, for example, many municipalities have adopted some or all of a version of International Building Code that has requirements for airborne and impact sound insulation around residential units. Determining whether the demising assemblies meet code requirements requires hiring an acoustical consultant and therefore can be eyewateringly expensive, but gives you some pretty solid ground on which to take action against your landlord. The risk here is that you drop the coin to test and turns out that the assembly meets the code minimums and you’re back to where you started minus several thousand dollars.

There may also be a noise ordinance that you could rely on. Best case is there are quantative limits that you could test against, slightly less preferred would be a qualitative ordinance. If your municipality actually enforces the ordinance, you should be in good shape, otherwise you may need an acoustician, a lawyer, or both.

Oh wow, yeah, might be!!

Well, anything with gelatin will have a butthole or two, but otherwise they’re sugar color and flavoring. Could be worse.

I used to house Fruit Bars when I was a shorty…I recall they had a center strip of white but the internet suggests maybe they didnt?

I also have a memory of eating orange fruit roll-ups with my mom once upon a time and still recall the flavor. Wish they still made them. Now they only have strawberry and whatever the fuck tropical tie dye is supposed to be.

I also loved licorice laces which used to be (or seemed to be) 3’+ (1 m) long and chewy but manageably so, but these days they’re barely a foot 0.3 m) and usually hard as rocks.

Were they? They still are. Get yourself some gummy bears or happy cola or twin cherries and strap in.

Try Valentina. Its “hot sauce” but very mild.

I’ve never written it.

Edit to add that if I did it would probably be with an ie as a y would imply more of a j sound.

Oh no way, had to be shitty midi covers of Beatles songs.
