It’s unlikely to cause any kind of large black market. In the UK, energy drinks have been restricted to 16+ for a few years now. People don’t mind off brand vapes or cigarettes (for some reason), but people absolutely care about the brand of energy drink they are buying. Kids especially, I imagine most only buy them to look cool, and if no one knows you are drinking a “cool” energy drink then why bother?
PIGS do work but they also have 7 hour lunchtime and siesta and also an 8 hour designated chill time then 9 hours for sleeping
This isn’t as unbelievable as the headline would make you believe really. It says the government is buying 200 million in wine stock (almost certainly lower quality wines) and repurposing the alcohol for use in other products. It’s not like they are destroying it to keep demand for wine higher, they are buying it to try and keep the french wine industry strong.
No. Because some companies would make no profit and others would be unaffected. Who’s going to pay more, Shell or novo nordisk? Shell would simply cease to exist
No you’re good. I can see it being like a way to try and verify where the cheese you’re buying comes from but embedding it in the rind seems a bit excessive when you could just use a tag with a private key signature on it that comes with the cheese.
Out of curiosity, do you know any dishes that use a sauce made of parmegianno regianno rind that someone who is a beginner-amateur (at best) at cooking could make? Or are these dishes quite complicated generally? I have always just thrown out the rind so finding out you can use it to make sauces and it’s the most flavourful part is life changing for me.
The chip is in the rind which you don’t eat. And the chip is food safe anyway, if someone was to eat the rind.
