I don’t remember that part of the tour. I do remember that I was there when they were testing out the brand new equipment for the ice creams with a flavor core or whatever they call it. That was pretty cool.

I am not at all high and I had the same question. Since no one actually answered I looked it up. It can make financial sense because it is shipped in such volume. The actual shipping is in cargo containers that have freezer or refrigeration equipment, and can keep products frozen or cold on ships, trains, and trucks. The single carton of ice cream from Europe bought near the US factory could possibly be explained by supply chain stuff or how they have decided to split flavors for more efficient manufacturing. It might be more efficient in the long run to manufacture 10 flavors in this plant and 5 flavors in that plant and ship them where they need to go rather than all 15 flavors in each plant.

No, it is not law. He can attempt to have some language included in the parenting plan about meeting new partners, or not having the child meet a new partner until the relationship has lasted x amount of time, but there is no guarantee of that.

This is spot on. Still recall when I thought I needed a simple electrical repair in an older home- the guy came out of the room and told me the wiring was home made DIY and looked 'like a bowl of spaghetti' up in the ceiling. It was not a simple repair.

When you get a Reddit Cares message, don't give them the satisfaction of mentioning it and showing it bothers you. I blocked that account once I got one and realized it is just a way to harass people.

Not sure what Scared_Cardiologist meant, but I have a cat who loves to chew paper and cardboard, and would definitely enjoy biting this book.

I sincerely enjoyed your answer. Factoring in conversion loss was a nice touch! But it is not, technically, correct. I do wonder if any of the components of the ice cream were shipped from Vermont to the Netherlands first, though.
