To be fair, ketchup tastes better cold, that’s just a fact.

(Jane) #342

I never refrigerate ketchup, syrup, honey or butter and NOTHING happens to us. Never get sick.

Your ambient is colder than my fridge, however.

(Jane) #344

Your fridge is 22 C? Because that is what my butter ketchup et al sit out in.

Honey should not be refrigerated, that’s crazy talk. my Granddad kept theirs, and the homemade blueberry syrup, on top of the hot water heater to keep it easy to pour.

I always thought you had to refrigerate butter and cheese and such until someone pointed out that those were the ways people preserved milk before refridgeration. And they both taste so much better at room temp.

About that Police song. . . .

If a crew member on the ferry fails to turn on a certain red light, another crew member will send a one-word radio message: “Roxanne.”

But it’s so adorable.

In Canada we have a dollar coin called a loonie (so called because the original featured a picture of a loon). Some stores have a little box attached to the shopping cart, and you have to deposit a loonie in order to use a cart. You get the loonie back when you’re done.

I prefer not to shop at such stores, because they make me feel like I AM an animal. Do they want my business or not?

Now I find out I can buy fake loonies and key-shaped objects just for this. They even have a little hole on one side so you can put it on your keychain or lanyard.

Toronto Pearson International Airport used to have loonie-operated luggage carts. TERRIBLE if you’re arriving from another country and don’t have a loonie. Once I arrived at night and had to wait several hours for the currency exchange to open so I could get a loonie. Apparently the airport now has free luggage carts. Welcome to the human race!

I have both a loonie and a quarter “dummy” on my keychain! :wink: The only place around here that doesn’t require a deposit is Costco!

(Bob M) #358

Is this done to reduce stealing of the carts?

(Ellen) #359

Yep, most supermarkets in the UK also have some kind of tracker built in so you can only take them so far away before the wheels lock up. For extra annoyance we changed the shape of £1 coins early last year but 95% of carts still only take the old shape :confused:

The only place I’ve seen this here was at the dollar store. I had no idea how to get a darn cart. I just wanted to buy cheap melons to use as targets out in the desert. Some nice person showed me how to get one…but I didn’t have a stupid quarter :frowning:

The Target store here has these on the carts. I worked at the pizza joint at the end of the strip mall. The wheels would lock up and people would drag the cart. After awhile they would get tired of the fight and aboandon them. It was amusing to watch :slight_smile:
