I've been through a couple of factories down south. My recollection is depending on the current cost is whether or not they get exported. Sometimes it's not worth it, then it gets ground into fertilizer or whatever.

"Ewwwww, I'll take a crab juice!"

A lot of the organ meat goes into pet food. I think some gets exported depending on the current export bans and such.

Dear Marge,
Thanks for the fab painting of yours truly! I hung it on me wall! You're quite an artist. In answer to your question, yes we do have Hamburgers and Fries in England, but we call French Fries "chips"
Love, Ringo.
PS. Forgive the lateness of my reply.

I'm exhausted

So that message I got from HR telling me to rape my coworker was a typo then? Phew!!

People's tastes absolutely come into it, especially for something as iconic as Coca Cola. Will they cheapen stuff if they can - absolutely, but if there is a statistical difference deemed big enough, they will not risk it because the backlash will be huge.

It's doubtful even in large quantities of beverages. I'd be far more worried about the non cancerous damage the sugar in regular soft drinks is doing to you.
Cancer is such a tricky thing and it's very difficult to pinpoint causes. The studies on cigarettes is rock solid - something like 17 times more likely.

Oh, I get the power of branding, hence the need for blinded tests.

Yuck, never been a fan of high intensity sweeteners. They just leave a weird aftertaste.

Yeah, I can see some - if not most - people picking out a difference, but for a significant majority to prefer the sugar one makes no sense. If this was the case, Coca Cola would not take that chance and switch.

If you were to do a double blind test of Coca Cola with sugar vs. HFCS in unmarked cups, I'd imagine just about half the people who insist how much better the sugar one is would get it wrong.

No mention of all of the "Bort" license plates in the store where Lisa got her hat?
For shame!

That movie really should have been marketed as a kids movie, but what do I know.

The cane is pretty cool… I guess, but it's not as cool as David Bowie's cocaine spoon from his exhibit.
