WTF is a "smuckers"?

I'm told a "JIF" is peanut butter, but why are they making them both into a flavour of popcorn?

@ElwoodBlues Yes -- not really sure just what the exact differences are.

@ViciDraco jelly here is what you yanks call "jello" from what I understand.

@ChipmunkErnie jam is the same here pretty much. Whole fruits rendered down with sugar.

@KiwiDan "Jell-O" is a brand name for a gelatin dessert.

"Smucker" is a family name and "Smucker's" is a brand name famous for making jellies and jams.

@ChipmunkErnie right. That sounds like a bit of an unfortunate name. It sounds like a euphemism for something.

What’s the difference between jam and marmalade?

KiwiDan · 31-35, M

@DrawntoaDistance I actually don't know. They all taste similar to me

@DrawntoaDistance i ... think and i suppose i should google that marmalade is a process tomhandle higher levels of acidity from things like citrus fruits, jams use a higher portion of the actual fruit, and the American form of jelly is typically based on fruit juice and pectin as a solidifying agent.

ViciDraco · 41-45, M

@DrawntoaDistance marmalaid is specifically for citrus-y fruits. Whereas Jam typically has crushed and pureed fruit in it, marmalaid will also include thin slices of the peel to provide a touch of bitterness.

Variety is the life of any company. 🫤
As well as how you become a monopoly.

Look at the investments of any international corporation. Take Alphabet for example. Or even Meta.

Both are massively diversified.

Think why Bayer a German company bought out Monsanto, a USA company? 🤷🏻‍♂

Think why Trump wants Chinese auto manufacturers in the USA, and why they would gladly accept? Massive mistake however by Trump! 🤬
