I love the discussion here as to possible reasons why the labeling is different.
That said, there’s a very good chance it’s just because the initial version had 3, got translated, then someone added a 4th item and it never got translated.
I know someone responsible for these labels and descriptions for a fairly large company, can absolutely confirm this will happen a lot. The product has to go out to the stores and there is just no time to get these translation anymore. I also know of products that shipped to large stores with false information on the label, knowingly because changing it would take too much time and money.
The Wee Beasty is also very very good. My local shop has a couple of $100+ releases from Laphroaig that seem more trendy than anything else, but I’m still tempted. My wife would probably leave me if she knew I was willing to go into triple digits MSRP for a bottle… which is probably how we ended up with this thread.
I used to think Laphroaig was the poor man’s Lagavulin, but now I don’t believe there’s a single poor man’s thing about the brand.
My favorite thing about budget breakdowns in the US is how often pundits list defense spending as a percentage of GNP (gross national product) rather than as a percentage of the annual budget. Nothing else in the budget ever gets this kind of favorable treatment (which makes it appear smaller than it actually is) except sometimes debt service.
I don’t think that’s favorable treatment. Defense is 3%. Social Security is 5%. Medicaid and Medicare is also 5%.
We can afford our defense budget and make the country better for the common person by utilizing our funds more efficiently and/or moving to universal healthcare.
Do they not have editors anymore, or are they just worked to death? I swear I see minor but annoying errors like this in a huge portion of online news media now.
Nitpicking aside, I wonder if similar studies have been done on feral boar in the southwest US, where there has also been historical nuclear weapons testing?
So relieved to see someone else mention this, was starting to question whether I’m just being neurotic when little errors like this have me concerned about whether the underlying content is being thoroughly reviewed
They looked up “ARC”, and grabbed the first logo they found, not noticing that it was for a completely different company/product instead of the proper one for the HDMI feature.
Outside used to have the best graphics, but the development team really dropped the ball with the new asset streaming solution. Textures I would understand (looking at you, RAGE megatextures), but waiting until the camera is up close to load the LOD0 mesh is unacceptable.
Lol what. If people weren't buying it, they wouldn't ship it out this early and stock it this early. Anybody with basic business sense would think, what if we put out xmas a week earlier than last year? And then it sells, so they do it again and again until the sales of xmas items don't cover the cost of liquidating the the summer items.
Why would they not want to maximize sales? If there's a demand, it's in their best interest to supply.
