After a few weeks I thought the cylinder looked full, and while trying to find the “detach to empty” latch I pressed the “open the bottom lid in place” button instead, and had the pile of refuse on my floor.”

A few days after I posted this, I saw this posting on Facebook:
Usual John sends this in:
You don’t have to be Bill Bickel not to understand this cat cartoon.
On a similar theme – perhaps – but NOT a CIDU, is this one:
The servers at the Subpoena Cafe have extra skills.

It’s just this: Does she pronounce it as “chitterlings” or treat that as a fancy spelling for spoken “chitlins”?”

The joke is clear, if hackneyed by now, but what would the kids tip? A 20% trick?
This execution of the same joke is a bit clearer, since it’s the kid asking for money.
Not so much a CIDU as “way too much work”. Post individual clue solutions in the comments. FYI, complete solution is here.
This one tripped me up, because I assumed a Pumpkin Spice Latte only had the spices used in pumpkin pie. This used to be true: introduced in 2003, Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte contained only the spices, and no pumpkin. That made sense. Who thinks steak sauce has steak in it? or shrimp sauce has shrimp in it? Or awlspice has an awl in it? But, in response to complaints, in 2015 they reformulated to add some pumpkin puree. That was really unnecessary, because a bit of pumpkin puree adds little taste. But this does mean Blazek’s joke actually works.
Not a CIDU, but definitely an Ewww.
Not a CIDU, either, but cute.
And one last nod to Peanuts:
And, finally, an OY
