Monster Problem

Here we go again. Lawsuit by a parent of a 14 year old that apparently was killed by consuming too much caffiene. While its sad that the kid died, now the parent sues caffiene provider. This happens to be a drink in a can called Monster. Now first of all if the product is labeled Monster do you actually need additional warnings on the can? Monster keeps advertising and kids keep buying. Although this is not the first example of Bull being sold in a can. Sometimes even if they call it Red it can be shit. If its on TV people amazingly will buy! On a separate note plastic bags used for packaging will continue to provide adequate warnings for those that can read. We have to warn consumers to not eat the plastic bag that the toys came in. You are called consumers but do not consume our plastic. As yet no one has successfully ingested and passed copious quantities of plastic bags. That if possible would give a whole new meaning to recyclable bags. We are not there yet. Please stand by for an update meantime you will pass to another dimension if you did consume them! I wonder what the golden mean of fair warning, buyer beware and common sense looks like.

Of chocolates

I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.

Columbia SC

 The Palmetto state.  One of the confederate kinds. History dating couple centuries back.  We visited the capital yet again this time to take in the SC State Museum. Occupying the former digs (literally remodeled) of an erstwhile cotton mill this structure is an amazing piece of reimagination.  Four floors of excitement for kids and young at heart alike. Located on the shores of the Congaree River formed when the Broad meets up with the Saluda River, this edifice is approx. 60 years old.  The front of the building has a more modern planetarium that was added about a decade ago.  The museum itself has different areas of interest segregated on each of its four floors. The first floor has gift shop and a diorama of some of the local geography including the swamps and the state beaches with audio guides to help understand what fauna thrives locally. The second floor is all about natural history and showcases animal kingdom that may have survived on this latitud...

Gab about Gaps

There are a number of news stories these days where conversation inevitably turns to discussing some sort of GAP - Gap between rich and poor is growing Gap is losing market share to other clothiers The Dow is Gapping Down (so is the NASDAQ) and the dollar is Gapping Up The guy who advised British public over the PA on dangers of tube travel with the phrase 'MIND THE GAP' has died There is a frightening Gap between our Debts and Savings Gap between Executive pay and Average worker salary is at an all time high All I am doing is listening to all this unfold with my mouth aGAPe. What me worry?
