Ärende: Re: dairy & costs 835
=============================
-=> Quoting MICHAEL LOO to NANCY BACKUS on 06 Jul 13  19:17:00 <=-

 ML>> stuff could have been Velveeta for all one could tell, and
 ML>> the bits of "sweet picante peppers" had approximately zero
 ML>> flavor at all. I felt supremely taken by this - it cost $7.99
 ML>> and I think it was hardly worth 2.99.
 NB>> Well, yeah... the price was predicated on the brand, not the food. 
 ML> My purchase was based on the brand as well, but fool me
 ML> twice, forget it.

One more thing to be able to resist temptation for... ;)

 NB>> "Pasterized process" always trumps anything else.  "Aged Cheddar"
 NB>> might have a taste difference from "american" but I wouldn't count on
 NB>> much.
 ML> To be completely honest, it tasted like a very young
 ML> Gouda, with almost no backbone at all.

Odd.  Not quite your usual processed cheese, then...

 NB>> Too bad the peppadews didn't make it through the process... they
 NB>> are a nice picante taste which would have gone nicely with aged
 NB>> cheddar... 
 ML> They could as well have been pimientos. Altogether a
 ML> disappointment.

Sigh.
 
 ML>> So I got it down pretty right and had people over for lo-carb pizza
 ML>> The crust ended up crisp on the outside and just chewy on the
 ML>> interior - quite successful.
 NB>> Nice.  And how was it received by the masses...?  ;)  A new twist to
 NB>> cheese crust... ;)
 ML> Free food is always appreciated by the masses, but I like to
 ML> think that in this case the pleasure shown was genuine.

Huzzahs to the chef... :)   So the cheese was stiff enough done that way
to handle toppings without drooping...?

 ML>> Both. Grocers often price things by the 100 grams in an
 ML>> effort to reduce the perceived sting, but consumers cite
 ML>> prices per kilo.
 NB>> Ah.  OK.  That is still pretty steep, I suppose, then... $8.90/100g
 NB>> would be, hmmmmm, about $36-40/lb...  
 ML> I see you do the same kind of estimation that I do.
 
Round it up, round it around...?  Decent ballpark figure...?   ;)

 ML>> There also was presumably a vast middle that was not newsworthy
 ML>> at all. Consumer Union members could find that list.
 NB>> Ah... so presumably, there could have been BJ's and/or Sam's as well,
 NB>> which were considered neither wonderful nor nasty...  
 ML> Quite so. And remember that the wonderful and the nasty
 ML> were separated by not too many points.

There is that, too.   Once upon a time, I was a member, but that's been
quite some years now... :)  And I do almost nothing online...

 ML> Which was apparently a self-selected body so almost
 ML> guaranteed to be biased. When United was the largest
 ML> airline in the world, it tended to appear both at the
 ML> bottom and the top of such surveys, depending on who
 ML> was filling them out. Of course neither was true, and
 ML> it was mostly just your average (or if you factored in
 ML> third-world companies somewhat above average) carrier.

Surveys/polls always do seem to have some sort of bias incorporated...
one of my somewhat pastimes is to try to figure out the likely bias as
I'm doing one such on the telephone...  generally by the end of the
survey there's been at least one question, often more, that give it
away.  I find it especially interesting if I guessed right from the
earliest part of the conversation... ;)

 NB>> Of course, there are some obvious concessions for the toll roads,
 NB>> with their tollbooths either at intervals or at the exits...

 ML> There was some issue with tolls when the system was
 ML> designed. First, it was deemed inappropriate (and I
 ML> agree) that highways built with federal funds should
 ML> be money generators for the states, and next there
 ML> was some question about interval tollbooths and the
 ML> other important purpose of the system, to provide
 ML> clear routes for the military in times of strife.

I'd imagine that if the military felt the need, the roads would be
closed off from civilian traffic, and the tollbooths unmanned...

 ML> The nature of the system calls for compromises and
 ML> fudging, but I think that in this arena the purest
 ML> interpretations were the best, and some of the
 ML> compromises will come back to bite us in the butt
 ML> at some future date.

Quite probable.   Toll roads are my least favorite to drive... only use
them if indeed there is not an equally viable alternative, finding most
freeways (and blue routes) highly preferable generally...

ttyl        neb

... Try this. I haven't tested it, but I think it will work.
