EXCEPTION: one of the test bags I bought is a mix of dried figs, strawberries, and a couple of other things I forget, and I'm not a fan of any of those. That could be a brand/process though, though.The textures are very unlike the raisins and dried cherries I got in the same test batch.

For some reason, this makes me think less of nuclear weapons tests and more of the time the Idaho National Laboratory deliberately caused an experimental reactor to blow itself up, more or less just to see what would happen.
(Well, I say "the time," they actually did it twice. The 1950s, man...)

Heh, I was blackballed from joining the Cub Scouts in second grade when they asked me what church my family attended and I told them (I don't consider it an "admission", as such) we didn't. I had no idea religion was part of the Scouting movement; I was just interested in the woodscraft.

Back in the 19th century, it was very common for people to refer to the Democratic Party as "the Democracy" (ironically enough, despite having been the less democratic of the major parties for much of that century), similarly to the way people call the Republicans "the GOP" today.

I had a similar experience trying to get gas earlier today. The place was mobbed, lines for the pumps like stock footage of the 1973 oil embargo, and I was really confused until I saw the sign that it was "members save 40¢\gal" day.
