Its really amazing

how a small scientific approach
to make a product more healthy
ruined the taste of 100 year old fave

basically contamination of that nemesis rye
causes the gluten
Catcher in the Rye
Rye hallucinations
I want my old Ry-Krisp back

Right on Dave

Not to make to much of it
But for the last 4 or 5 boxes
Over the course of a good year
I noticed the change
I been eating the darn things for millenniums
it was really bothering me
I figure I just got stale batch a couple time
But it was consistent bad taste to my buds

So that put me on the search
Finally I called General Mills today
they were very pleasant
and answered my direct question
about whether they changed the recipe ?

the lady said the product gone gluten free
I had no idea
I suppose it’s a good thing

Then i did the further research
And find out oats don’t contain gluten
So I was more bewildered
Then I found the video

I told them I wouldn’t eat their product anymore
It just really taste stale
But they’re going to send me a coupon

I might raffle it ha ha

I not very picky person
Heck I have iron stomach
But lately I been calling more companies

Frozen spaghetti I bought
Had bad vacuum seals
I ate them any way
What else could I do ?

This was on every product I bought
So I called to tell them about it- after so many
The guy fesses up and said they were getting complaints

they sent me coupons
And their product have been corrected!

Now the frozen Cheese enchilada that made me ill
The company Won’t answer my e-mail
That pisses me off
They make it difficult to contact them

So I’m about ready to scream bloody murder

to grocery store manger …

So sorry mohs What a life you lead.

The worst my taste buds have suffered was last year. a box of graham crackers that tasted like bull manure - not cow manure mind you, Bull Manure. I tossed it and haven't bought any since.

Roundup Ready fake food.

Consider the Earth’s history as the old measure of the English yard,
the distance from the King’s nose to the tip of his outstretched hand.
One stroke of a nail file on his middle finger
erases human history.

Ha ha the broken heart syndrome
Sometimes its best not fix them

Plus Ed blows up my theory
That it takes collaborative labor of mankind’s
Blood, sweat, tears, and slurry
To build amazing stone monuments

There always one...mostly

The date was 31 December 1899.

Pacific Yachting
·

GREAT SEA STORY
The passenger steamer SS Warrimoo was quietly knifing its way through the waters of the mid-Pacific on its way from Vancouver to Australia. The navigator had just finished working out a star fix and brought Captain John DS. Phillips, the result. The Warrimoo's position was LAT 0º 31' N and LONG 179 30' W. The date was 31 December 1899. "Know what this means?" First Mate Payton broke in, "We're only a few miles from the intersection of the Equator and the International Date Line". Captain Phillips was prankish enough to take full advantage of the opportunity for achieving the navigational freak of a lifetime.

He called his navigators to the bridge to check & double check the ship's position. He changed course slightly so as to bear directly on his mark. Then he adjusted the engine speed.

The calm weather & clear night worked in his favor. At mid-night the SS Warrimoo lay on the Equator at exactly the point where it crossed the International Date Line! The consequences of this bizarre position were many:
The forward part (bow) of the ship was in the Southern Hemisphere & in the middle of summer.
The rear (stern) was in the Northern Hemisphere & in the middle of winter.
The date in the aft part of the ship was 31 December 1899.
In the bow (forward) part it was 1 January 1900.

This ship was therefore not only in:
Two different days,
Two different months,
Two different years,
Two different seasons
But in two different centuries - all at the same time!

Fascinating. However, the 19th Century technically did not end until midnight December 31, 1900 (the 20th Century began immediately after 12:00 am on January 1, 1901), so someone might have properly laid claim to the vessel being in "two different centuries" only had they duplicated the same feat a year later.
