Current Events-nothing Trump
Quote: beachbumbabsActually, I'm hearing reports that it's due to substitution in the local market of homemade booze, either poured into bar drinks and/or stocked in the minibar, and that numerous resorts are or have been buying garbage cheaply either knowingly or unknowingly. The adulterant or contamination may well be pesticides, but could also be chemicals used in distillation or illicit ingredients.
I could be wrong of course.
Several people complained about employees spraying pesticides under their windows and the smell getting into the ventilation system. I'm thinking the pesticides are in the ice, not the liquor.

Not sure which soon-to-be dead guy in the cartel is responsible, but he's probably not sleeping well.

Did you hear about the one hundred dollar bolt of cotton that was seized by the government? The cloth could have been made into a Dior gown, so the press release said "Fifty Thousand Dollar Seizure.
Good thinking particularly if its a microbial contamination, but not too likely if its a limited amount of a contaminant. Ice machines are checked by epidemiologists because victims usually forget to report ice consumption and if tourists choose to avoid the local water, they seem to often forget where ice comes from.Quote: billryanI'm thinking the pesticides are in the ice, not the liquor.

I worked in quite a few restaurants back in the day
None ever cleaned the ice machine
A very common situation, but think of it as a constant dilution of the insecticide.Quote: terapinedNone ever cleaned the ice machine

I remember this one time playing youth baseball as a kid, the umpire got hurt during the game, and one of the parents volunteered to ump the rest of the game. Just so happens he was the father of the other team's pitcher.
So, I'm up to bat, 2 outs, 2 strikes, bottom of the last and we're behind. The pitcher throws one at my head, so I hit the deck to get out of the way. While I'm on the ground, I hear "Strike three!" form the ump! There was some grumbling, but everyone just went home. I do remember my coach saying that it was a "$h!++y call." I think that was the first time I heard the word "$h!++y."
Chick-Fil-A passes Burger King, Wendy’s, Subway and Taco Bell to move up to #3 in Fast Food Sales.
The boycott worked out well for the liberals, didn’t it. Imagine if they were actually open on Sundays.

And they did it with far fewer stores plus a smaller menu. Good food trumps overcomes the hate of the left.
Don't want some folks to get upset at that word in this thread.

I don't think anybody on the left here on this board was boycotting
I don't eat there but it has nothing to do politics
I simply think the food is disgusting , over priced and doesn't taste good
I want a chicken, I'm going to Costco, 4.99 for a whole chicken and its delicious
