  • You realize in general means not in every case? In Canada and the USA, that’s not the case, they make their own syrup and fills cans and bottles.

    Sure other countries may outweigh it, but large countries don’t operate that way.

    Source, I’ve installed blow molders for bottling plants that mix their own syrups.

    They have multiple lines, usually one for pop machine, two for plastic bottles and one for cans. Depending on the size and location they may also distribute stuff like Monster as well.

    Now if you’re talking like a small town somewhere, shipping syrup is cheaper, so in specific cases (not in NA) it can make some sense to ship syrup and then add the water.

    Pepsi-co more or less operates the same as well, they have blow molders on site for plastic bottles.













  • Kidde and first alert are kinda on par with each other, why they are sold at the big box stores.

    Anything with a metal head that’s serviceable, I have a strike first in my home, one of the cheaper “commercial” call them brands.

    If you don’t know any, condos and stores have them, look at one of their service tags and give them a call, most shouldn’t have an issue making a sale and potentially repeat service business.

    Fire code requires their service, so most commercial places should be following along, but that depends on also how much your FD and jurisdictions cares to enforce the rules.








  • I mean at the same time

    Ancient Egyptians were able to sell themselves and children into slavery in a form of bonded labor. Self-sale into servitude was not always a choice made by the individuals’ free will, but rather a result of individuals who were unable to pay off their debts.[

    Several departments in the Ancient Egyptian government were able to draft workers from the general population to work for the state with a corvée labor system. The laborers were conscripted for projects such as military expeditions, mining and quarrying, and construction projects for the state. These slaves were paid a wage, depending on their skill level and social status for their work

    They used slaves for everything and paid them, so having a paid receipt is a weird distinction to try and make something less worse than it was.
