No, but only because it's the cot-caught merger, not the cat-cot merger.

In some areas, yes. A/O crossover is a part of several American accents.

This is all I know about the proper pronunciation of twat:

Bill Bryson posted:

The poet Robert Browning caused considerable consternation by including the word twat in one of his poems, thinking it an innocent term. The work was Pippa Passes, written in 1841 and now remembered for the line "God's in His heaven, all's right with the world." But it also contains this disconcerting passage:

Then owls and bats
Cowls and twats
Monks and nuns in a cloister's moods,
Adjourn to the oak-stump pantry!

Browning had apparently somewhere come across the word twat--which meant precisely the same then as it does now--but pronounced it with a flat a and somehow took it to mean a piece of headgear for nuns. The verse became a source of twittering amusement for generations of schoolboys and a perennial embarrassment to their elders, but the word was never altered and Browning was allowed to live out his life in wholesome ignorance because no one could think of a suitably delicate way of explaining his mistake to him.

In other words, absolutely nothing apparently

I didn't read any of it because I spotted "Bill Bryson" quickly enough, but it's probably 100% untrue like most things Bill Bryson has ever written about language.

Bryson is extremely unreliable yeah, but I really wanted it to be true, and it seems like it really really is, and even funnier when you read where Browning got it from:

quote:

"Twat" was and remains vulgar slang for a woman's external genitalia. But in 1886, Frederick James Furnivall, a contributor to the Oxford English Dictionary, asked the poet for his source, and Browning replied "that he got the word from the Royalist rhymes entitled 'Vanity of Vanities,' on Sir Harry Vane's picture"[22] in which Vane is lampooned thus:

They talk't of his having a Cardinalls Hat,
They'd send him as soon an old Nun's Twat[23]

Browning added, "The word struck me as a distinctive part of a nun's attire that might fitly pair off with the cowl appropriated to a monk."[22] The blunder was pointed out by H. W. Fay in 1888.[24]

The poem was published in 1841, the error publicly pointed out in 1888, Browning died in 1889.

Coincidence or complications from extreme embarrassment?

Preservatives? Lawsuits?

They're lumps of dry sugar maybe with some stable fat. They've got the same preservatives as the 5 year old bag of sugar in your pantry: it's sugar.

The best before date is to create a mechanism for stores to keep buying new stock without selling through their old. One weird trick manufacturers figured out thanks to some consumer feedback that forces retail to buy consistent and constant restocks. They are determined with 0 safety or liability in mind.

There's segments where a best before date is useful to know that "hey maybe I check a little closer for mold" but mass market candy is basically pre-staled. Maybe the chocolate is bloomed or amorphous but I dare you to put on a blindfold and notice.

as a coneseur of expired candy this is mostly true but alot of reeses candy bars esp since they have gone insane and started jamming reeses peices into every candy get gross and you can tell something is wrong when you open the wrapper because its reverting back into corn syurp before your eyes. the rest though its fine

It�s just reidentifying the hodge podge of Air Force, Army, Navy, and DoD folks who already worked on missiles and spy satellites and silos and poo poo as a single agency. Air Force Space Command was bigger than all of NASA.
