 RH> Also, remember when Coke was bottled all over the States and labeled

 RH> San Can-cisco and San Can-tonio. (G)

Cast your memory back to when the bottles were recycled
numerous times, and that one you were drinking from might
have originated from Panama or Yellowknife. Now that added
a dimension to the experience.
 
 ML> Fair enough - in many cases they're the exact same

 RH> Like pineapple--only thing different between Dole, Libby's and Del
 RH> Monte is the label on the outside.

Almost. Dole pineapples, to my knowledge, are still grown
in Hawaii; they do taste pretty identical to the Central
American ones used by the other companies.

 ML> The costs aren't all that different, and if the name

 RH> Since we've switched to a lot of milk alternatives, we don't go thru

I'm still at one a month.

 ML> Europeans, especially north Europeans, depend on dairy
 ML> more than Asians and Africans; and most of the original
 ML> Western settlers were north Europeans, with the 19th
 ML> and 20th century waves more Mediterranean, but they too
 ML> consumed a lot of milk products.
 RH> And Americans consume more than Europeans.

Maybe, on average, but the Swiss, Dutch and Scandinavians
probably leave the Norteamericanos in the dust.

 RH> Ice cream is a world wide favorite treat. (G)

Ain't it the truth.
