But back to dumb moves in marketing... I like how the beef industry has tricked stupid Americans into eating rare or medium rare steaks so they can't detect the declining quality of the beef that only comes out when cooked well done.

...but well done steak takes out all of the flavor of the meat. At that point all you're eating is spices and sauces.

Nothing American about that, steak snobs in Europe will laugh in your face if you order your steak well done.

There was a restaurant in Amsterdam that secretly sold horse steaks as cow steaks, and everyone commented on how good the steaks were.

Until there was a scandal where a large meat processing company got caught doing the same thing. No-one ever noticed it from the flavour.

It was at that time the restaurant decided to come clean about what it was they were serving, and now they're doing better than ever. I think because it's simply a tastier kind of meat, but the idea of eating a horse more offensive is offensive to some than eating cow.

I don't like and therefore don't eat either so I wouldn't know :can:

Another food-related "scam" is where supermarkets sell these apples that look lovely but have disappointing taste and texture. The uglier looking apples tend to taste nicer. But when they're on display in the supermarket there's no way to really tell the flavour. Try one that isn't perfectly spherical and of a solid colour. Just don't eat the ones that are soft, wet and hairy with mould.

THe way I always heard it was that a horse was more taboo because it was a work animal. Cows have always been for meat and milk but if you had to eat your horse you had fallen on such a hard time there was no recovery from it, like a last resort.

Enough derails, back to dumb moves in marketing.

Circumcision was always marketed by doctors as a regular routine after birth , but popularity has dropped off precipitously in a single generation. Which is fine because it has no medical justification.

Pod coffee sales are higher in Western Europe than America. Haha those stupid lazy americans though right?

I don't use one because the cost/benefit never worked out for me, but how does someone not get the appeal of a Keurig/Nespresso/Whatever single-serving coffee maker? No prep, no cleanup, and nearly as cost effective if you're just making a single cup. Also solves every problem with a coffee maker in a shared space; no more passive-aggressive notes for someone to clean the coffee maker or stop using so much of the communal coffee.

Yeah, gently caress that rear end in a top hat who doesn't make a new pot after drinking the last cup!

I've never been able to participate in coffee chat because my body chemistry makes weird tolerances. Caffeine does literally nothing noticeable to me. So I never grew to tolerate the stuff, because coffee really isn't very good tasting ever, it's popularity springs from its usefulness (which is lost on me) causing you to not only get used to the flavor but enjoy it over time.

I like the taste. Get better coffee and grind fresh to order.
