“Remember when Jimmy Carter tried to convert the country to the metric system...I predict it will be like that. A flop.”
If Nancy Pelosi heard that, she’d say, “You’re just lucky we don’t legislate candles in all houses!”.
I do not use CFL curly lights in my house and they have all been replaced with incandescent Thomas Edison traditional light bulbs. The color temperature of the CFL was unpleasant and they had short light spans-—yes, I threw them out into the burn pit on my back 40 as farm animals don’t care (this is terribly politically incorrect but I live in Montana and don’t give a sh-t) and no I did not call the haze mat teams for disposal. I did use LED Christmas tree lights and felt comfortable with leaving them on for an extended time. My grandparents used wax candles on their trees. Once LED’s have improved and delivering as much light as an incadescant bulb I will use them.
The GE's have always lasted many years because they burn for a miniscule amount of time per day. They don't get turned on during the day and we have LED nightlights all around the house which allows us to navigate the house at night without turning on a switch.
Smuggling incandescent light bulbs to California is going to be a huge way to make money pretty soon.
Actually it was my parents in their childhood that used wax candles on Christmas trees My grandparents were recovering from the destruction of the Civil War.
Can’t wait until they introduce reusable toliet paper....more sh*t for these libs to think of.
What about the influx of so much mercury?
Only for a year as the rest of the country will have the bulbs banned starting next year (unless sanity returns).
Be aware that those have been on backorder. I ordered some on January 2; they’re supposed ship this week.
The new prohibition!
Got to think up a good name for my crime family.
The Incandescents?
The Lumens?
The things you don’t know eh ~ it’s packed by Heinz!
No. That was my point. There is no “fake beef flavor” in Heinz ketchup. Or any ketchup.
There is a coating on the french fries that has an allergen warning.
Here's the deal ~ McDonalds uses a lot of artificial and "natural" flavor enhancers. Those are listed as Natural Beef Flavor or Artificial Beef Flavor. The "artificial" item has wheat. The "beef" may have wheat.
Their site showing details on micro ingredients is not working this evening ~ but just a couple of weeks ago it was up and showing "stuff", so maybe it's down for adjustment. They warn you about that ~ there are NO guarantees that there are gluten free products at McDonald's ~ and there are NO guarantees that there are beef free products at McDonald's so beware.
I usually know within 1/2 hour if they've changed something previously gluten free into its poisonous counterpart!
Whatever you’re smoking ~ I’d start selling that stuff ~ make a gazillion megabucks Fur Shur.
Hey it is not just me!! However, I think I helped start the theory many years ago in Silicon Valley over a few pitchers of Anchor Steam.

What that means is wherever you are you get what they want to give you, and you don't know what it is unless you already know.
ALL ketchups I reviewed for ingredients referred to "flavors".
Whether it says "natural" or "fake" a "flavor" can be made from any sort of thing, and it'll say "natural" if its made from a plant or animal. If it's made from "dirt" it won't say that. If it's made at US Flavors it'll say "artificial".
That "coating" isn't always what you imagine it to be. McDonald's has been advertising "grated" hashbrowns for a year or so ~ before that they noted they were just "hashbrowns" . I presume that grating replaces the trick of adding flour to make them fry fuzzy! Or, maybe it cut costs to remove the flour so they could cook them in the french fryer.
Whatever, I can eat their hashbrowns now and haven't been doing that for quite some time because I'd be sick in 1/2 hour.
I suspect McDonalds is not officially interested in keeping up with gluten free currents but they actually are making an effort to pull back from the flour trick so that we can stop there and eat stuff.
And that stuff McDonald’s used to sell that they called “coffee”. What the heck was that stuff?
The new McD’s coffee is pretty good. But that old stuff was worse than day-old campfire coffee.
I think the pots were the problem. Not the water. But I have had McDonald’s coffee where water was the problem.
