Yes. It has a reduced tax, thoough.

No tax on food? That’s nice, we should copy this.

Is $1.43 the complete tax? If so — how is your government financed? All countries I know of add a VAT of ~ 20 %.

What is RCS?

Depends on where you are in the world.

They should never have been consumed bitter. When they are frozen the bitter substance is destroyed. In former times this implied being harvested only after the first night frosts in autumn, never before. Nowadays there might be some more artificial ways to achieve the same result more reliable. (Perhaps by breeding, too, I’m not sure about this part.)

Taste changes with age, too. The younger, the sweeter and the older, the bitterer people prefer.

US made software rules the world.

Probably because you tipped more than expected. Tips in Germany are usually 5–10 % and not mandatory. Traditionally the bill was rounded to the next whole number, and the tip was the difference.

I doubt it. As long as there are not boobs for everyone, someone, most probable male, will start a fight. I hope and wish this is a prejudice, but am still searching for evidence that it is one.

As the red starred soldiers give up to the blue banded I’ve got an opinion on that topic.

Fahrenheit based his scale on what he thought to be absolute zero (i.e. the coldest temperature he could produce in his lab with the tools of his time) and his body temperature, which he set to 12, because 12 was a convenient number and used in a lot of scales in his pre-metric time. He did realize though that this scale was impractical, and halved his degrees until they deemed sensible to him, resulting in the final degrees to be ⅛ of the first draft. 8 * 12 = 96, hence 96° F was his second fixed point.

Which is just senseless, as we know today, as the temperature of the human body fluctuates over time. If we took the original definition seriously, everybody would have their own Fahrenheit scale that would differ over time.

Fahrenheit is not based on body temperature, it is based on the temperature of a mixture of ice and salt and the body temperature of a certain individual, both in 1714. Who was, by the way, suffering from hypothermia.
