They were delivering butter... to Pennsylvania? TIL: California is the nation's leading milk producer, New York is fourth, Pennsylvania is 7th.

Yeah that doesn't make much sense to me. Local brands of butter made with local dairy are popular in Pennsylvania. It's alarming to think how environmentally inefficient shipping butter two thousand miles must be.

  It's a good argument for a carbon tax.

    And a damage-proportionate road tax.

      Isn't that why fuel taxes are for?
      - loeg 7y ago
        No. Road damage isn't linear with gas use.

  One can not forget the genius product that is Fiji Water[1]. Thinking about what happened to get that bottle into the fridge of my bodega makes me shudder. 1: https://www.fijiwater.com/faqs.html https://www.fijiwater.com/faqs.html "IS FIJI WATER FROM FIJI? One hundred percent of FIJI Water is from a single source in the pristine, tropical Fiji Islands, an archipelago of over 300 islands nestled in the South Pacific, more than 1600 miles from the nearest industrialized country."

    I hope you don't buy it. I've seen it for sale in Europe, which is as far from Fiji as one can be. They must have a very effective marketing team. It seems every US TV show has Fiji water in the fridge.
