I'm sure it wasn't all relaxing and fun. Gotta be a nervous moment when you get out the dart gun for the "Tag and Release" to track the migration patterns.

"Yes, that is a $20, but could you please press firmly until you hear a click and the GPS is engaged?"

Not that it's the case here, but there are foods that can only be made the same way if they're made in a particular location. Parmesan reggiano is like this; there's a bacteria used to make the cheese that's only found in one place so everything else is imitation parmesan. Then there's the whole Champaigne vs sparkling wine thing which is mostly branding IIRC.

You don't have to be faster than the bear, only faster than your friend.

As someone mentioned, it’s become something of a national trademark.

You can in the third world for sure but this is something US actually puts into trade agreements and sues for in the WTO.

>I think bourbon is only allowed to be called that if it's made in the US for example, so thus all the bourbon money goes to the us

Except US laws don't apply outside the US.

You can make all the Bourbon you want, and sell it outside the US all you want, and you could even call it Bourbon.

America need sentencing like this

Could be that GTA strip clubs look a lot like the real thing.

So he has a girlfriend now?

Yeah she would come over and fuck her ex and write all over our camp that she loves him. She’d tell him that she wasn’t together with my ex, and then bring my ex to our campsite with her. She’s on a power trip fersure. It’s a shame my ex didn’t see it.

Not the spicy details unfortunately, but apparently they found some sort of "normal" because all three (husband of 3rd grade and then 1st grade teacher was also a high school teacher) stayed with the school district and in the same schools. For all I know, there was some sort of true wife swap that was amicable to all parties (doubtful, but we're talking small town Missouri so not out of the question lol).

No, but there's also nothing stopping you for mimicking the same conditions, or just importing the goods. Like Napa Valley wine is quality because of the grapes. The barreling and fermentation can be done anywhere since its imported wood, fermented in a sterile environment.

There's probably a bit of a difference in the hops and such but you can make whiskey that tastes mighty close to bourbon. At the end of the day is a trademark thing that ensures income more than naything else.

Well documented research?

Sounds like a real Swiss Miss

While you aren't wrong, I'm not sure bourbon was the best example?

A lot of brewing and distilling is affected by things like the features of the soil used to grow barley, hops, and the like.

I know the land changes the taste of Scotch, especially peated, so I assume the same for bourbon?

Apologies if I'm talkin' out my ass.

The usa does not recognize some european trademarks. Champagne and similar trademarks are not protected.

Mangy flea ridden bulldogs

I read what you wrote, have you heard of the moron in a hurry benchmark? I.e. that not everyone will read the labels for stuff and will go buy off oflook/picture alone? It's an actual legal test.

But lets be real, all these things are just cynical ploys for more money. I'm sure the Swiss would totally be ok with Toblerone using that mountain outline if they came to a licensing arrangement or something.

Did you even read what I wrote in these 2 comments? A third time just for you: It's completely understandable that companies can't write "Swiss chocolate" on chocolate made somewhere else. But Switzerland shouldn't be able to forbid the usage of a picture that resembles a mountain that happens to be in their territory.

I hate these lights as much as anyone. But now I'm reading this and understanding why they are so bright. It's so they don't get hit by these old blind drunks.

How does the catholic church condone domestic violence? You are thinking of Mormons and baptists. The preacher will straight up tell women in "therapy" that they need to submit to their husbands even when he's being a legit POS. I've never heard that from my priest.... (half of us are liberal btw, things will change when the olds die off)

Unlike protestant churches, catholics believe that you need to be a part of a church with a valid line of sacraments going back to the apostles. So anyone who takes that seriously feels like they can't leave.

Protestants have problems with sex abuse and certainly have a patriarchal hierarchy. (unless you mean the Unitarians, they are extra cool)
