Many/most other vendors tweak the ratio on the machine for better costs. It violates the contract between Coke and their customer but since so many do it, Coke rarely enforces it unless it's egregious.

My information is like 25+ years old now. I worked at McDonalds when I was like 16 in 1997, and then other restaurants until about 2002 I do remember we would check the soda machines, or check the "brix" at McDonalds like every day to make sure things were right. Other restaurants we almost never checked them unless the local vendor was doing it for us, but it was a big deal at McDonalds. I was told that the increased syrup to water ratio was a McDonalds thing where they made the sodas stronger to account for ice melting and things like that. The one I worked at also ran the soda lines through a plate at the bottom of the ice well to pre-chill the incoming syrup and water so it was dispensed cold. Some places don't do that. The increased syrup and pre-chilled ingredients give the McD's soda that "spicy" kick that everyone loves since cold water holds the carbonation better. I remember using these brix cups way back when to check the soda systems. https://www.chicompany.net/syrup-separators-brix-cups-c-361_83/ The McDonald's labeled one has the 4.5:1 on one side and 5.5:1 on the other. I forget what was special about the 5.5:1, but something came in a stronger concentration. I only remember the regular Coca Cola ratio. The regular brix cups are setup for 5:1 and 5.5:1 ratios So are you saying everywhere should be mixing at 4.5:1? Cause thats  if so.

You've got all the correct information!

Costco.com has $100 in Domino's Gift Cards for $75 for a few more hours, fat sack of poo poo that I am I picked those up since they can further stack with the piles of coupons that Dominos gives. They're not horrible pizzas if you check the box to leave off that hideous garlic oil they put on the crust. And at least they'll make you a combo slice!

I was worried about the organic frozen strawberry recall but looking at the FDA page it looks like nothing involved is from my state. Seems like mostly CA/HI. Lately I have been having some bouts of gale force farts, and while with the current state of my GI system it could be literally anything, I suspect it might be the Simply Protein soy protein keto bars that are on sale? Doing some process of elimination to try and figure out the culprit. It’ll be unfortunate if they are, they’ve got good protein/calories and taste okay making them a good ‘I am too lazy for a proper meal’ option.

They have 25% of your fiber RDA in one bar. Stepping up your fiber will do that until you get used to it. More fiber is almost always good, but it takes a little while to adjust

Quixzlizx posted:Do they have fake sugar in them to keep the sugar/carbs down? That would do it for a lot of people. The nutrition breakdown says there’s some sugar alcohols but the ingredients don’t say which. Could be it. I was glad there was no erythritol with the recent news, but the choice may be heart or fart. Could also be the fiber, but due to said GI issues I try to eat tons of fiber in my weird diet so 25% RDA would be less of a huge jump than for most.

I should know this but are whey protein products still wildly off the mark when it comes to stated content? Also, free samples seem suspicious. There has to be a catch.

The lobster bisque isn’t great even when non expired. There’s no such thing as cheap lobster stuff that tastes good.

If toxins are present as a byproduct of bacterial growth, 4-6 hours. If live bacteria were still present in the bisque, 24-48 hours.
