  • I don’t wanna get into a fight over this, but they do regulate dilution. At least where I’m from.

    It can only be called “juice” if it has got at least x% of juice in it. If it’s made from concentrate, it says so on the front.

    Companies mustn’t lie about the percentage of juice content and all ingredients are listed on the back in order of content.

    In the UK, there’s a sugar tax, so that’s another form of regulation.

    Customers may decide whether they want to buy 25% or 100% juice, but this competition only works because of the rules I listed.





  • That’s the wrong way of looking at an å.

    It’s not just an a with decoration. It actually has different pronunciation and is typically replaced with aa if no å is available. (I’m neither Swedish nor Norwegian, so not 100% sure, but it’s what happened to Erling Haaland).

    Similarly, you would replace a German ä with ae. So if my name was Bäcker, it would be wrong to spell it Backer on a ticket. Baecker would be the way.
