I just wish they'd bring back milk delivery, like in the old days, but 24/7.

I ran out of cream for my coffee at 3AM in Amsterdam. But of course there's a 24/7 nitrous oxide delivery company in Amsterdam:

I'm not a customer, but I would only consider it if they'd actually deliver fresh cream without any nitrous oxide at 3AM, to keep up the pretense that the N2O was actually intended for making late-night whipped cream.

But no, they brashly deliver incriminating accessories like balloons and "Slagroomspuit" dispensers. But no cream! Fuck that.

Somebody should start a 24/7 milk and cream delivery service. DeliverMOO!

I think you could make a killing delivering 24/7 fresh milk, cream, and dairy accessories like breakfast cereal and chocolate mix.

Amsterdam does not strike me as the kind of place that needs to put up a polite fiction in front of drug usage.

Are you kidding? Doing exactly that is like 30% of their tourism industry.

Maybe the sex industry can take up the slack. I don't care what costume the delivery person wears or how well they dance, I just want my fresh cream delivered 24/7!

Really? They have legalized prostitution there as well as legal drugs. The whole area seems the least "polite fiction" that I've ever seen.
