is there anything you ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW?

How long is a product "new" for? Are there strict rules? Take "New Vanilla Coke" for example - how long till someone decides it should just be just "Vanilla Coke"? What's the trigger that tells them it's time to change the lable?

Why doesnt GLUE stick to the INSIDE of the friggin bottle.. ?!?
point of note... i haven't gone to look this up and am trying to remember stuff from 6 months ago here... so if i end up being completely wrong... i can completely accept that :)
well the answer to that may lie inside my brain... being that i have done a fair whack of fluids study in my time at uni so far.
glue is a viscous fluid - obviously... it is i believe a thixotropic fluid, which means that the viscosity increases with time. so that when you apply the fluid to a surface, over time it becomes more viscous/sticky... and sticks to the wall.
as to it not sticking to the inside of the bottle, i believe that it would have something to do with the need for the fluid (glue) to dry in the air. when it is in constant contact with all the glue in the bottle, there isn't enough air to dry it out, and in doing increase the viscosity.
there hope that sort of answered your question :)

How long is a product "new" for?
i don't know the answers, but my irrantional mind gives 2 possible answers:
i think a product is new for the period that it is in a 'trial' period. after the power that be (marketing, accounting etc.) decide that the company can make enough money to justify making the product part of it standard product line it then becomes no longer new.
it could also be as simple as the length of the marketing campaign. if the marketing budget allows for advertising for 2 months, then the product is new for 2 months. after that it's either quietly accepted into the standard product line, or production is stopped.

motorcyclists certainly do get speeding fines. cops love them because motorcyclists assume the speedlimit for bikes is the posted limit plus 20. :-)
when something is labelled 'new' people want to try it and the newness is appealing. its basically a marketing tactic. when they decide everyone knows about it they stop calling it new. time limits vary i guess depending on the product.
as to ducks can someone tell me WHY they dont echo? they are still a sound aren't they?
GREAT procrastination thread :-D

I think all that stuff about people and sitting up when they're dead is creepy.... :(
One of the many questions that goes through my mind a lot is when I'm walking or running, I often look around and ask my self, if I could gather up every single bug in a radius of say, 1km, how high would the pile of bugs be??
I don't know that you can answer this one, but it is a cool thing to think when you're out and about.
 
MY friend spent about 2 or 3 years trying to find out what the K in K-mart stood for
She sent letters to all the top dogs of the company who kept directing her somewhere else and finally one day she got a letter in the mail answerin the seemingly unanswerable
So i bet right now you are all on the edge of y'r seats begging to know what the K stands for
Krege or Kreg i've forgotten to the exact spelling but now that you know i'm sure you'll be able to sleep alittle easier at night now :)
 
No ^^^^ that's just opened routes for more questions like why Krege? (or however it's spelt) and what does Krege mean? etc etc etc
I am so going to call a funeral directors and ask them my coffin question.
 
In the track Let It Be The Night by Storm and Herman what does she say in the chorus?
I dance by the light
Under *something* night
I'm not a butterfly
But I want to fly.

i was visiting kmart.com trying to work that one out when i got the following message at the bottom of the kmart website...
"Bluelight.com® is a wholly owned subsidiary of Kmart Corporation © 2001-2002"
I KNEW IT!!!
anyhoo... here's the answer...
More than one hundred years ago, Sebastian Spering Kresge opened a modest five-and-dime store in downtown Detroit...and changed the entire landscape of retailing. The store that Kresge built has evolved into an empire of more than 1,800 stores and an Internet presence that reaches millions of customers. The Kmart name has become a symbol of Americana, standing for quality products at low prices.
When Kresge opened his first store, he sold everything for 5 and 10 cents. The low prices appealed to shoppers and allowed him to expand to 85 stores in 1912, with annual sales of more than $10 million.
:P

Elevhein and Wazza - I love you guys! The mystery of the maltesers has been bugging me for about 3 years now...I've called Mars and they refused to tell me. I called all the cheapo chocolate companies that make products along the same lines, and they wouldn't tell me. For months, i looked for a new "friend" that worked at Mrs just so i could find out, all to no avail. I looke don the web and found nothing. I've asked every single one of my friends and family members, and finally....you have shown me the light!!! I am eternally in your debt... :P
 
Well i have to say, with regard to the "New Products" & "vanilla coke" question..
Thank you for providing me with hours and hours of fun and entertainment on friday night..
After eating 7 trips, and In between asking kitty why my television(which i thought was my syereo) was furry, and managing to take a walk down my street for at least 50 meters before realising i hadnt actually put my clothes back on..
*BIG BREATH*, Kitty read me the question over the fone.
AND i LMOA. I have never laughed so hard in my life.
Ever.
I also couldnt BELIEVE that someone had actually answered my glue question.
Kudos to Sam. I laugh my man-tits off.
And fir the first time EVER, i actually 'enjoyed' acid. and i didnt feel #BLAH# after it all...
But my side ached all saturday and most of sunday cos i spent so many hours laughing hysterically.
I reached a point of brokeness such that i asked Kitty if she thought i should go and have K9 put down...
Once again thank you.. this thread was an abundant source of hallucinagenic energy.
whatever the F that is... =K9=

Let it be the night tonight I wonder
Let it be the night tonight I dream of all
Let it be the night tonight I wonder
Awake with the sun and my dreams on my mind
I dance in the light
Under plastic sky
I'm not a butterfly
But I want to fly
I look to the stars
They smile down at me
All is clear and bright
Now it's plain to see
Here tonight I feel something strange
In my soul, I look all around me
And I see that life is not only, black and white

Oi.. what happens if you put normal leaded fuel in an unleaded car..??
I ask this cos my mate just chucked $10 of leaded fuel in my new car and I'm a BIT worried..
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
 
Short term, no damage.
But how'd he manage to fit the fuel nozzle in.....they're different sizes?
 
^^^ They aren't all different sizes, I have been guilty of this in a mates car, didn't worry it at all tho

HA HA!
Ta-
I just got told that.
He reckons he put VORTEX in it, which I promptly informed him was actually indeed unleaded so he didnt have to worry.
Stupid fucker.
Also i just learned that 'leaded' fuel isnt actually 'leaded' at all anymore, SUPER is apparently 'lead replacement fuel' whatever that means.. But it sounds nifty and this is all very new to me..
WOOT!
