This post got me researching a product that was discontinued (available 1986–1988), which I just found out was revived this January as a “healthy” soda, Slice (Apple). Has anyone tried these and the original? Curious if they are similar, and if the new one is better, or worse? #TIL

Es tikko uzzināju, ka maziem bērniem var būt elpas aizturēšanas lēkmes (breath holding spell). Tas ir- bērns var būt tik uztraukts, ka viņš pārstāj elpot! Un tas dažkārt var novest līdz tam, ka atslēdzas bezsamaņā?

La joven que representa a Zaragoza en el certamen Miss Belleza España: "Voy a desarrollar un proyecto social" Sulamita Martínez busca conquistar el Legado Nacional de Belleza, uno de los certámenes más relevantes del territorio nacional.

오늘 알게 된 건데, 설탕이 음식에서 하는 일이 '단맛'만이 아니래요 🤯

빵의 바삭함, 고기 구울 때 갈변 반응, 잼이 오래 가는 방부 효과까지 전부 설탕이 하는 일이라서, 대체 감미료로 100% 바꾸는 게 아직 어렵다고.

설탕은 식품계의 jQuery 같은 존재였어요 😂

Jack Russell Terrier JRTCA: History of the Jack Russell Terrier Jack Russell Terriers are a type, or strain, of working terrier; they are not pure bred in the sense that they have a broad genetic make-up, a broad standard, and do not breed true to type.

I did enjoy The Martian when I read it, back in 2018, but thought it was a little unrealistic because the President was kind-of rational and didn't make the occasion all about himself.
