I meant horses having incredibly weak legs....OP said that elephants have sturdy legs because they have to carry a lot of weight and mice have small legs because they don't. Horses are a counter to that statement.

I remember that and thought it was hilarious.

Often the "leading brand" is actually just the generic version and not the top name brand. It makes it easier to use a worse version of the same product without lying, which is illegal. In your example of Miller Lite and Michelob "more taste" is a subjective statement, so it can't be a lie and Miller Lite does have fewer calories than Michelob so that's not a lie either.

Because they actually make money on the snacks. They make a few cents per gallon, and that all depends on how many other gas stations are around.

It's a psychological effect. Just like the drinking water provides "immediate" relief even though it really doesn't. It's your brain rewarding itself for doing something it decided it needed to do to survive. The brain is funny like that.

Yes. If you're ever really hot, run cold water on the inside of your wrists. Those veins are near the surface and lead directly to your heart. It'll cool you down so fast it's crazy.

It's not money pissed away to them. It's an investment for when their oil runs out. They want to be the world's playground, the place rich people go for fun over the top vacations year round. Want to go to the beach and go skiing in the same day? SA's got you. That's their plan for when they run out of oil.
