It's something how scientists can come up with a series of chemicals and create flavors but they can't cure Tonsil Stones.
I know which I'd prefer to spend my days researching :lol:
:lol:
They are intense. There are videos of people plucking them out. I never knew this was a thing til last night.
You definitely need to start watching some more normal YouTube 😂

I don't watch YouTube really. It was a reel on Instagram that popped up uninvited.

Yeah there is some weird stuff on there, though worth it for all the bikini photos and funny animal clips :lol:

You know what, though? True Garden State Fact. Most of the artificial flavor companies and plants are in New Jersey.

I always imagine it is in that industrial stretch of the NJ Turnpike where the Walt Whitman rest area is. I took my first wife on our first date there. It was at least two-hour drive one-way. It was my idea. I would never sit in the car for that long nowadays for that.

M&S is Marks and Spencer, is that correct? It is not the one with the tulip logo or whatever? What are the big supermarket chains in the UK again? I haven't been there for a while and I have no strong connection now that my sister-in-law has moved away.

My favorite jeans come from next. The only I started wearing them is because the airline lost my luggage and I needed a change of clothes. All my (black) jeans are next jeans. They fit me well. I only buy jeans in England.

I have never had a crisp when I was in England. It never occurred to me, and I would walk to the convenience store every day to buy the Financial Times. They didn't carry the Wall Street Journal in the part of England I was in. They were simple, country folk.

The cancer belt has so many factories and plants I don't doubt it.

Yes, though I don't recall them having that logo. Their logo is simply their name. The other main ones are Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Aldi. I tend to go to Tesco and M&S mostly.

Next are good I get most of my clothing from them. Whereabouts were you?

My sister-in-law lived in Titchfield, which I really liked. It was like walking around in a movie set, just a little old town. I fit right in talking to all the shopkeepers and popping into one of the two pubs. I really liked it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titchfield

My sister-in-law thought I wouldn't like it, since I am a very urban animal, so she took us to London for a few days one time. I didn't like it that much. I have been in a big city before, though I did like it. I could spend days in Harrod's department store.

Then, my sister-in-law moved to the aptly named Stubbington. It was okay but nothing to crow about.

Do you read the Economist? I seem to know more about the UK than most people because I read the Economist. Mrs. King buys me an annual subscription every Christmas. An issue lasts me a week.

Hampshire is nice. My Grandfather liked to visit Portsmouth, as he was in the Navy, and took me there on holiday one time. I've not been to Titchfield, though.

I tend to largely avoid all news media like the plague, unless I'm eating toast in which case I skim through the news channels to snatch a glimpse of what is happening.
