Why did Jared get a billion from the Saudi's Donny, right around the time of the Mar A Lago raid? :thunk:

This is a gross mischaracterization of events and a slipshod generalization that I can't let pass.

Jared got two billion from the Saudis.

Before knowing this, one of my least proud moment (I was young, ok) was being served a glass of a concord-based wine and reacting poorly at what I thought was clear-cut fake grape flavoring. Lesson learned.

Check Trader Joe’s in August, they should have a hybrid called Thomcord grapes. Same Concord flavor, no seeds.

I looked it up, because I was sure I remembered reading an article about it. You are correct. The Concord is the basis for the American grape flavor because they were native to America and what Americans were used to before we got our European grapes established here.

I was thinking of fake banana flavor.

I'm glad to hear it.

Could you show me some articles about it.

I'm quite curious on what ones that said and faked it.

Just to help nip this whole line of thinking in the bud, here's what you asked for. You don't even have to read the whole thing, just read the headline (wherein a CEO admits they were full of poo poo) and the last three paragraphs, which link out to investigations that proved it was horseshit.

The news happily cherry-picked examples and blew it out of proportion, which then let them point to those other reports and continue to make it seem like it was an epidemic. As others linked to, Cody's Showdy did a whole video about it with a ton more examples of how it was overblown and what was actually happening.

I know the discussion sort of morphed from short-staffing as part of stores' death spiral into a squabble about self check-out, but countering the narrative that people were just loading up on poo poo everywhere and that it hit the companies' bottom line in any meaningful way is important. They made that poo poo up, and scapegoated the news' sensationalistic reports as the reason.

Aren't you thinking of bananas and I think that's essentially an urban legend anyway because cavandish bananas still have the same chemical that provides the main banana flavor even if the previous variety happened to have more of it

Gros Michel bananas are rare but do still exist. Apparently they only develop that banana candy flavor when cooked.

for some reason when you cook down fruit and concentrate it it tends to taste closer to flavoring that contains the main chemical providing the flavor in that fruit. it's very mysterious

I don't believe Trump is required to be in NY court today. He's choosing to go.

So his "Election Interference" claims, and if he brings up his dead MIL, are all BS. As usual of course, but specific in this case.

So is the actual end of the trial, or will the Judge then take a few weeks to render his final decision?
