My brain can't comprehend this. Checkmate, science.

The effect of ads is usually not directly linked to a specific product.

If, for example, you need a new box of laundry detergent, you'll go to the supermarket. There you might find brand A, which you've never heard of, or brand B, which had an ad you've seen or heard somewhere. Studies have shown you'll be more likely to buy brand B, because you'll find it more trustworthy, which is because you've heard about it somewhere.

So, a lot of ads aren't solely about a specific product, but also about making their brand perform better in the long run. Therefore, even if an ad is just making noise on the background, it may still have an effect on you. And, since it's a subliminal process, it's extremely difficult to make a concious decision to not buy products you've seen or heard ads of.

I only go there for the free pencils and make my furniture out of the pencils. Checkmate

A lot of people haven't played HL:Alyx because of the VR requirement... But my goodness it was amazing.

Valve will never release a HL-title before it's absolutely groundbreaking.

Well, either my dirt or my cheese smells wrong then, because they never smell similar to me.

Gouda, first of all, is not a type of cheese that should be moldy.

Also, cheeses that are made to be moldy, don't just become moldy on their own. The mold is added in the production process, and is a type of mold that usually wouldn't have appeared on the cheese anyhow.

After this comment I am exactly 27.3% more suspicious of OP being a bot after all.

Luckily they can't do this in the EU. As an EU-citizen, I have the right to subscribe in Romania, for example, and pay no more than a Romanian would.

With the difference being that you don't go around bullying people who do eat mayo, and you don't try to ban people from eating mayo.

Or well, actually, maybe you do, I wouldn't know.

You definitely shouldn't be allowed to hide it like that, no. Unfortunately, they can (Dutch source).

The nutritional information does however state that there's sugar. Even though the ingredient list does not.

Added sugar, that is. A lot of tea bags contain 'aroma', according to the ingredient list. However, this 'aroma' can be 60-70% sugar.

I can't really find a source for it, but I remember the EU banning plastic in tea bags quite recently, a few years ago at most. Here in the Netherlands, a lot of tea bags contain(ed) plastic as some kind of sealant.

Also, a lot of tea contains sugar, for no good reason whatsoever.
