[QUOTE=Tesla bowman;43800577]On Coca-Cola advertisement?[/QUOTE]The point of advertisements is that the company being advertised pays the people putting them up.

I heard they spent [B]51 billion[/B] dollars not 12 [url]http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-01-02/the-2014-winter-olympics-in-sochi-cost-51-billion[/url]
What a supreme clusterfuck. I really wonder what poisoned the water.

Here, honeymakers usually put a bee or two in each jar so you can see that it's genuine. Also, the crystallization on the surface is another tell-tale sign of good honey. Artificial honey has a shit ton of preservatives added in to keep it chemically stable, so it doesn't crystallize.

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;43804033]what[/QUOTE] Yeah, some honeymakers go as far as putting entire pieces of honeycomb inside. The honeycomb itself doesn't have any nutrients - it's natural wax, but some people get a piece of eat and eat it with the honey. It's not harmful. Source: Grandfather was a beekeeper and honeymaker if anyone's wondering.
That's no indication of where the honey came from either.
The best honey is sourwood honey with the comb still in. If you have only ever had processed plain clear honey like you get in the little bears you are really missing out. Also it is not uncommon to find a bee in raw honey.

[QUOTE=Killuah;43804117]But a bee being in the jar is no indication of the honey being natural whatsoever?[/QUOTE] Technically it's not, it's just tradition. I don't imagine big honeymaking factories or whatever going out of their way to put bees in their honey. Like, having a bee dispenser on the factory line isn't something I can easily see happening.

It's an interesting tradition though.
[QUOTE=EddieLTU;43798147][IMG]http://puu.sh/6KXXl.jpg[/IMG] Yummy[/QUOTE] This makes me think of the time there was a little chicken in my freshly cracked egg. Perfectly natural, yet not very appetizing.
[QUOTE=tirpider;43804217]This makes me think of the time there was a little chicken in my freshly cracked egg.

The FDA allows way worse stuff in most food products anyway.
[QUOTE=Killuah;43804208]I do but you said it means that the honey is natural which it does not. It's an interesting tradition though.[/QUOTE] Ok, it is a [I]sign[/I] that honey is natural. Argue semantics if you wish.
[QUOTE=Killuah;43804208]I do but you said it means that the honey is natural which it does not. It's an interesting tradition though.[/QUOTE] As he said,a factory that makes shitty mass-produced honey wouldn't have a lot of bees to put into the product, nor would they even give enough of a fuck to do that. Compare it with a simple bee farmer that makes only a few dozen of honey jars.
Not going to argue about this anymore.
I doubt small time bee farmers make numerous small condiment dipping cups. And put a bee in every single one.
[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;43804425]I doubt small time bee farmers make numerous small condiment dipping cups. And put a bee in every single one.[/QUOTE] Exactly. So the point was that wherever this honey comes from, it's natural sources, [I]because[/I] there's a bee in it. It's 04:00 and I'm arguing about honeymaking in a Sochi Olympics thread. Only on Facepunch.

Also, $51 billion for toilets that can't handle toilet paper.
It is odd. I'll happily eat what is essentially bee puke, but it becomes disturbing when seeing a bee embalmed in it. Perhaps the western world has abstracted itself too far away from the 'natural' world. Making issues where there really aren't any.
[QUOTE=Thlis;43804533]It could also mean that where ever it's manufactured isn't sanitary considering bugs are getting into the products. Also, $51 billion for toilets that can't handle toilet paper.[/QUOTE] Yeah, that could also be the case. Yeah, I'm kind of weirded out by the fact that they supposedly spent $51 billion. I know that a lot of money was stolen, but even if 75% was, you're still left with more than 12 billion. And that's still [I]a lot[/I] of money. Also, it's [I]their[/I] money. It's not like they got EU funding to do it. It doesn't make sense.

[QUOTE=CodeMonkey3;43796207]Are you sure they're painting it? It looks like the same jug I use to kill weeds. You can also put fertilizer in them and stuff. I actually think typical paint would immediately clog the nozzle of one of those.[/QUOTE] They do make paint for grass, people like to use it when they can't water their lawns but they still want the lawn to look good. I am sure its popular in arenas and popular places to make sure the area looks nice if the grass ever starts to look bad or die.
