It's food-safe according to the FDA.

As to why you'd coat your condiment bottles with it, it would reduce food waste.

On the other hand, these people are driving the market for these types of products. If they didn't exist, Superstore (the Walmart of grocery stores, if Walmart didn't also sell groceries) wouldn't even have a "natural foods" section. So I try not to rag on them too much, because my son has a laundry list of severe allergies, and if the only people buying gluten free flour or whatever were people with legit intolerances/allergies, there would be like one specialty store, on the other side of town, and a 1lb bag would cost $15.

A lot, maybe all, LED light bulbs use blue LEDs coated with a phosphor that gives the appearance of white light.

I am kind of :spergin: about light bulbs.

Hi, light bulb guy. Am I just imagining it, or was there a time not too long ago when there were no white LEDs? I kinda remember having a little LED flashlight that had three LEDs of different colors, and when you wanted a white beam all three would be lit to combine to make white. But that sounds kind of crazy. Did I just dream that?

White LEDs now are white due to a phosphor layer. It absorbs high energy photons and emits a nice range of colours over a much broader spectrum (basically what flourescent bulbs do). However, conservation of energy means you need higher energy (blue/violet) to energise the phosphor - it can only emit lower light photons than what it absorbed. Typically the incoming photon excites the electrons in the atom by 2 or more energy levels, and as it decays, one of those energy gaps is in visible range. The exact molecule determines what that is, so a good mix produces the best light more efficiently. 'Cree' are often cited as one of the top quality phosphor makers, the cheap ebay chinese LEDs are much less efficient just from the quality of the phosphor layer. The push in 80s/90s semiconductor tech was developing higher energy LEDs. Early 90s had some reasonable blue ones, enough for giant LED TV screens (three colour LEDs) but not enough to excite a phosphor layer. Few more years later, and they cracked it.
For approximate reference, the first blue LED I came across in consumer stuff would be on the PS2 when it was all cool and new.

No, you're not crazy, it took them forever to work out the best way to make a white LED

Doesn't something get hosed when you bundle too many cables parallel like that? Like the little Internet elves get confused about which way to go or start having a little elf orgy or whatever and then you lose your connection?

You can get crosstalk but...

That's why there are twisted pairs inside the cables.

Except those are coax cables.

AC power should never be tun in parallel with data cables because the power can interfere, especially if it's high voltage AC.
