Is it safe to drink an unopened Starbucks Bottled Frappuccino that expired 8 days ago?
I just bought one and when I got to the library to buckle down for a study session and a caffeine kick, I realized the thing was expired. I really want to drink it, and I know usually when I buy these things the dates are way in the future, like a year or so. Therefore I'm thinking since 8 days is a very small fraction of a year, it's not too far off. I've read other people's similar questions where people told them not to drink it because it had milk. Now if this were a fresh-made Frappuccino (which they don't put expiration dates on because most people know not to drink stuff with milk that's sat out more than several hours), if this were the case I'd not drink it. But obviously it can't be like regular milk, there must be some scary irradiating, DNA-altering process that makes the milk in the bottle safe to keep unrefrigerated for months, and still be able to sit & have a happy healthy Frappuccino. Anyhow, so should I take the risk or be boring and safe?
What kind of profit margins do small, locally owned ice cream shops have?
I personally know a couple that owns 4 ice cream shops- two in sleepy little towns in Pennsylvania and two in resort areas on the Atlantic Ocean. Here's their website Home Page They make all their own stuff, either from scratch or mixes and all of their flavorings are natural. Excellent quality and great taste.Since they make their own the margins are pretty high, but they work 20 hour days, 7 days a week during the season of about 120 days. Of course, the rent paid at the shore is many times higher than the location in town so the shore places necessarily have to have higher prices and higher volume which doesn't always happen.Now, just because they make a respectable margin isn't to say that they drive around in Jaguars and live in a mansion burning hundred-dollar bills for heat. I don't think they even burn 5 dollar bills. It costs a bunch of money to keep things afloat especially in the off-season. I think they prefer their Fords and nice small ranch house anyway.
Which brand of milk is good in Bangalore?
Nandini, Karnataka cooperative milk Federation ltd , does not make unprocessed, raw full cream cow milk. All they produce is pasteurized milk with added or removed nutrients. Pasteurization is process where milk is boiled multiple times and fat or cream is removed for making other products like ghee, sweets etc. All essential vitamins like A, B12, and D, and minerals like selinium, fatty acids, are part of milk fat only. And later they fortify milk with vitamin A and vitamin D with much less values as specified by RDA. So the originality is lost. This makes it less nutrition value. Most of the Nandini milk products does not contain vitamin D and vitamin b12 which is essential and milk is only source for vegetarians. Even if it is available in any particular product, its fortified with milk solids( milk powder) and vitamin d is part of it. Most of Indians are 40 to 90℅ deficient of these two vital vitamins and can lead to multiple health problems in later stage of life. Vitamin b12 is needed by humans in small quatities only but plays an important role. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to major problem in later stage and loss can be irrecoverable.Suggest you to check other brands which supply unprocessed, untouched, full cream raw cow milk. There are many arround Bangalore. Like Erden Creamery, organic mandya, vrindavan, malnad desi cow, akshaya kalp etc. I am not recommending A2 protein milk here, just unprocessed raw full cream milk. An adult need to drink atleast 500ml of milk per day to get daily dose of vitamins from it. Its unfortunate that all milk from milk is processed more for profits and lost its nutritional value.I am attaching the nutritional value of Erden Creamery organic raw cow milk and nandini pasteurized cow milk(green). I am not marketing any product but uploading for only educational purpose. Vitamin A in Erden is 80mg and Nandini cow milk is 40mcg. Its a huge difference. I hope Erden Creamery is from grass fed cows and un processed should ideally contain vitamin b12 and vitamin d and other essential minerals. Drink good quality unprocessed milk stay Healthy. Dairy is profitable business which neither benefits farmer nor consumer, only benefits middlemen.
Why would anyone like and support Vladimir Putin?
He basically made a miracle by bringing back a dead country. Now, people want more but figures talk more than propaganda. Is there anybody in major countries who has made the same growth in a similar time frame? Or should I ask: would you like your country GDP grow 10 times in 15 years? Would you like your country to pay off crippling debts instead of passing them to your kids? Would you like your personal income to grow 10 times, currency and inflation corrected?And before anyone starts to scream about oil prices increases, let me address that. It certainly helped, but somehow no other major oil exporter has risen even close to that. Why? Do you think that Norway or Saudis, who actually rely a lot more on oil in their incomes, have a different oil? Yes, things will be a bit corrected during current sanctions and economic crisis but ultimately everyone is many times better still in every respect than in 90s before Putin. Ultimately that is the secret of Putin’s 80% approval ratings.
