Yes, it has an incredible amount of sugar. I have never been diagnosed with Diabetes and I am probably only five pounds overweight. Besides, as most know I value my time and enjoyment today much more than my future.

I would not necessarily classify myself as a very successful gambler. I was a part-time AP who always had a full paying career. I mainly beat video poker opportunities with big bets and small edges. Most of my winnings were due to beating poorly constructed promotions.
I lived in Vegas for 30+ years and moved away about 18 months ago. I rarely gamble now because it is not convenient for me here in Florida. In Vegas there were so many opportunities.

Obviously ice cream trucks drive slowly to get the most business. However, there was one ice cream man in my neighborhood that drove fast (well, near the speed limit). I figured he just wasn't very smart. My Mom was convinced he was smuggling drugs or something nefarious, and the truck was just cover.

Never saw one ice cream truck when I was a kid in the 1950s. All we had was guys on bicycles that had a trailer that had the ice cream in it. And they moved really really slow and they sold a lot of ice cream. Maybe it was just my neighborhood but I never saw one motorized ice cream truck.

Oh, was there a remake in 1995? I thought I saw some photo of me at an ice cream truck in 1964 and somebody captioned it Children of The Damned. This would be Village Of The Damned in 1995.

When I was about 9 years old would have been 1958 my friend and I found a small paper bag on the side of the road that probably had 300 22 caliber bullets in it. How it got there God knows but instead of turning it into our parents which frankly never even occurred to us cuz you didn't do that in the fifties, we instead threw the entire bag into my friend's burn barrel in the backyard and started a bunch of trash on fire. When it was over the barrel looked like Swiss cheese and for years I thought how close to death we must have come. I didn't find out till much later that bullet's not shot out of a gun are not dangerous unless it hit you in the eye perhaps. They have no velocity behind them unless they're shot from a gun. But I told that story many times and everybody I told it to thought we should have died. LOL

of course way before my time, but anyway, Jack Johnson was the first black heavyweight champion
although, blacks fought whites in the ring, they were not allowed to compete for the Championship, until Johnson chased Tommy Burns all over the globe to get his shot - Johnson crushed Burns
married to a white woman, his boldness infuriated white America
after he became Champion the great writer, Jack London, wrote an article calling for a "Great White Hope" to step up and win back the pride of the white race
London wrote - "Jim Jeffries must now emerge from his Alfalfa farm and remove the golden smile from Jack Johnson's face. Jeff, it's up to you. The White Man must be rescued."
even the New York Times got into the act - they wrote - " if the black man wins thousands and thousands of his ignorant brothers will justify claims of much more than physical equality with their white neighbors"
in what was billed as "The Fight of the Century" Jeffries was knocked down twice in the 15th round and his corner threw in the towel
the aftermath of the fight triggered race riots all over the country - many whites felt humiliated by the defeat of Jeffries
ironically, Johnson grew up in the South with a gang of white boys as his friends - he said " I grew up with white boys as my friends. I ate with them, played with them and slept at their homes. Their mothers game me cookies and I ate at their tables. No one ever taught me that white men were superior to me.

I guess it depends on if you agree with this statement conclusion. I would contend that less precise definitions are designed to confuse the public for sales purposes not logical purposes.
Quote:Thus far FDA enforcement on the labeling of “milk” products has not been consistent with the legal definition. The FDA allowed non-cow animal and plant based products to use the descriptor milk for their products. The cow-milk industry has petitioned FDA for several decades to more strictly enforce the definition. The dairy industry contends cow-based milk has a distinct nutritional profile when compared to plant-based milks; on this, they are technically correct as no plant-based substitute contains the exact same nutritional contents as cow milk. The dairy industry purports that the use of the word “milk” is confusing to consumers and that all milks need to have a standardized nutritional profile and those not adhering to this profile should be called imitation milk.

in 1900, before many of the ingredients that are used today in food were available the average lifespan of a male was about 46.6 years
the average lifespan of a male now is about 74.5 years
the increased lifespan is not due to using these ingredients, but it doesn't appear that they are tremendously harmful

Average lifespans in the past are very heavily skewed due to infant mortality. Once you factor that in, then we aren't living too much longer than we did in, say, the Middle Ages.
EDIT: Okay, I just looked on Wikipedia, and if you take out infant mortality, the average human lifespan from the 12th to 19th centuries was about 55 years old.

My understanding is that human lifespan hasn’t increased one bit in “modern” times. Read the biographies of ancient Greek philosophers and it’s surprising how many lived to be 70 and 80.
The much lower life expectancy is due to infant mortality, wars, famines and lack of modern medicine (routine things today like pneumonia or flesh wounds were often fatal back then).

Auto deaths peaked in the late 70s at around 50,000 a year and have declined since. DWI enforcement, raising the drinking age, airbags, better road and car design, and young drivers honing their skills on video games are all given credit.
