For a belated Valentine's theme, the sluts decided to rank a solid handful of romantic literary tropes - from the ones inflicting psychic damage, to those they simply must slurp up every time. Featuring some special Omelette the Cat moments, as well as very specific tangent on different grocery stores. Mild content warning for some slurping mouth noises ahead.
Theme music by seven-time state bird.
