My parents clean the tops of their cans with rubbing alcohol for this very reason. Sometimes my very  dad cleans produce with rubbing alcohol as well.

What drives me (and my health inspector boyfriend) crazy is that this person couldn't have summed it up nicely, they had to write out this big long scary paragraph including threats of death. I work in a vet clinic, I see Leptospirosis all the time. Yes, it is dangerous, but you don't get people to vaccinate their dogs for it by bullying them into it. This is all this poster needs to say: - Lepto has been found on the edge of cans from x factory (This article never specifies) - Other cans from other companies may carry this risk also - You can prevent picking it up from cans/bottles by wiping off the top before drinking - Lepto is a major zoonotic risk, and you can pick it up from mice and their droppings, as well as from dogs and small wild mammals - Seek treatment for Leptospirosis from your doctor as soon as you notice it in yourself or your anima; - Report it to your local public health if it's something not endemic/a threat to your area. (For example, Southern Ontario probably doesn't care, but if you don't report Lyme Disease you're in deep poo poo as a doctor)

Having worked in warehouses including ones that handle food and beverages I can say with good authority that they are all extremely anal about hygiene and pest control.

A guy I used to hang out with long ago posted this today, a dumb list of "I am a foreigner and I'm telling you how fat and stupid your country is" bullshit. Many eye rolls to be had. http://m.tickld.com/x/20-weird-things-about-america My favorites are the inability to do basic math when working with sales tax, the inability to look up tip etiquette in the country your visiting, bathroom insecurity, the persecution of jaywalkers, and "What's the deal with bread in America? I mean, who needs it that sweet? Are we eating dessert or a sandwich here? I mean, come on? What's the deal?"

Many eye rolls to be had. What the hell? In America, your athletes are celebrities! What a country. Where I come from, athletes are not famous at all. Instead if you play a sport people frown at you and call you a nerd. I am a bad person because I read every one of these in the voice of Jakov Smirnoff and added "What a country." to the end. In America, your bread is so sweet, In soviet Russia we wait in line four weeks for one loaf of bread and it taste like dust. What a country! ah-ah-ah. That's topical humor.

EDIT: Not that the article isn't dumb observational "humour", but those things certainly aren't true of the UK, which is where the author says he's from. Apart from refillable soda. Most fast food and chain restaurants will have that.

Brocktoon posted:I will defend #17 to the death. Those European toilets where your feces sit on a dry shelf centimeters from your rear end are loving disgusting. 3 gallons (I am basing this off the one toilet I remember looking at and seeing the amount of water in a single flush) is a lot of water. I am sure lots of places have low-flow ones these days though. US shitters on the whole are definitely too low.

I cannot possibly get mad at this list, since none of the items are "Your women have let this whole 'feminism' thing really go to their head!" which is one I hear way too often.

Pickles are weird? Sweet bread is weird? Toilet bowls with water are weird? Crappy public restroom stalls are weird? Loud people are weird? The UK has cheese whiz too, and has something very similar to our pledge. I mean come. I can definitely see how some things on the list might be unusual, but a large part of the list are just stupid things that really aren't unusual in many parts of the world.

Tax can vary greatly state to state, and sometimes even county to county or city to city. I would like it for sales tax to be included in the sticker price, but it's not really very feasible with our tax system.

Question Mark Mound posted:The point was more about college football. Coming from the UK/Ireland at least, people are celebrities when they play for the big professional leagues - school sports are only watched by the families of the people playing, usually. College sports teams have gigantic followings, usually based on "My family has been rooting for this team for years" or "That's my Alma mater." Some states have zero big time professional leagues (Alabama, Arkansas, Nebraska, Kentucky, etc.), so the college teams make up for that. The large universities are huge money making entities. Basically, the "student-athletes" are professional athletes, but all of their money goes directly to the school and NCAA, instead of in their own pockets...for now.

POS systems already have the proper sales tax programmed in, so that when an item is rung up it is properly applied. There is no reason the other computer system that prints the price stickers (which is usually done at the store, not at the shipping location) can't do the same. EDIT: The proper answer, is so that they can advertise products for "under $5" when priced at $4.99. Orgophlax has a new favorite as of 15:39 on Apr 17, 2014 |

Even US home-made recipes call for like 4-5x the sugar.

I don't really see why it isn't feasible, especially in states with uniform sales taxes across the state. Smaller countries like Switzerland or Luxembourg manage just fine, I don't see why a place like Texas or California couldn't. And about that list, I'm an American living in France and pretty much everything on that list except number 7 and number 6 to would be at least a bit strange to a Frenchman. Number 2 isn't weird in the part of France I live in but they're not French flags, they're regional flags. I don't think I've ever seen a French flag flying from a privately owned building, at least outside of Paris.

Simple reason is, it's against the law. You cannot post the post tax price in the USA. You can say, "this item is $100 after tax it is $106" but you cannot say "This items is $106". Why is it a law? beats the hell out of me.

The culture shock about 'american flags, everywhere!!!' is less about the buildings, and more about people that affix flags to their cars, their bikes, their mail boxes, their trees, etc etc etc. Seriously, flags are everywhere there, here, there are 2 official buildings with flags (town hall and local working men's club), and a handful of houses (belonging to known racists) with st george crosses taped to the windows.
