Why is it that white chocolate is called chocolate yet it has no cacao solids in it which is a key ingredient of chocolate.

Ahh yes, but it does contain cocoa butter, which is one of the key ingredients of chocolate and also derived from the cocoa bean. I am a bit of a chocolate fiend

Even though both cacao butter and cacao solids are from the same plant they are not the same thing. And some white chocolate is made without cacao butter.

I cannot think of many things that have a texture like chocolate. Soap maybe?
I guess that is one of the things that makes chocolate, chocolate. Yum. `And some white chocolate is made without cacao butter`. Then that is definitely not chocolate. Like Ice Cream without cream is Ice Confection.

Why is it that I`ve been so busy that I`ve only started chewing through this thread. Up to page 3 now. So many good vibes here.

It is interesting to see how once a picture us planted in one's mind, that it is impossible to control where and when the mind will choose to bring it up.

Why is it that people (bogans) give their children names that are normal words spelt backwards,such as Nevaeh.It's not like a number plate where only one person can have it,so why not just call the poor child Heaven?

Why is it that the Australian judicial system is worse than useless???
The police do the hard work of investigating crimes then apprehending the criminals only for the magistrate to let them off with a fine and a good behavior bond. And don't get me started on the parole board. Just think how many people would still be alive if certain criminals had remained behind bars where they belong instead of being paroled only to re-offend. It both angers and sickens me that the Australian judicial system is so useless.

Why is it that the majority of Indian males jockeying registers at servo's in my area ( and quite possibly yours ) wear very feminine gold rings? Surely im not the only person thats noticed this?

I wouldn’t know, I’ve never been interested in looking at an Indian Male’s ring.

Why is it that some parents allow their kids to go to school in winter wearing shorts and t-shirts?

Why is it that I reach up every time I enter and leave the bedroom to flick the light switch when I know the globe blew 5 days ago?

Why is it that when I hop onto gumtree, seek or indeed, that every other apprentice or trainee position is after someone who is under 21 and must be indigenous or islander descent??? It damned well infuriates me or the cafes and restaurants looking for JUNIOR all rounders with a couple years experience!!!! Seriously what 16-17y.o has them skills? Or the fact that every unskilled position wants you to have experience! Argh they can all go screw themselves imo. /End rant

Because over 21 is classified as a mature age apprentice making under 21 half the cost to the employer also under 21 without having completed high school is cheaper still ( in Victoria, not sure about Qld ) and as we are quickly learning, finding an 'aussie' kid that can tell the difference between tin snips and a caulking gun with the drive to be worth his salt and doesnt think we owe him something for him turning up to work on time is difficult, hence we are starting a 17 yo kid with Eastern European heritage on Monday

Why is it that carsales.com.au (or the people who advertise there) can't get their car body type category to make any sense.
A Hiace van is a 'light truck', as is a Ford or Mazda ute. Aren't these meant to be under 'vans' or 'Cab / chassis'??? But wait - a Kia K2700 or K2900, nor the LWB Transit tray back that can carry 2t or more in the rear while also towing 2t is apparently not a 'light truck'.. These are 'cab chassis' of course. In fact - the little Icon for 'Light Truck' looks to be a Transit - yet if you want a Transit light truck you need to go over to the cab chassis section. If you want a transit van, you need to find them in the light truck section. Makes perfect sense... doesn't it. Almost as bad as people who list their new / near new car in the 'Collector and Vintage' section of Ebay.

The Bulk BBQ Sauce Tax (BBBQST)...
Small table sized squeeze bottles are priced the same when comparing between BBQ and Tomato sauce. Till you get to the 2L bottles and then all of a sudden the difference between the 2 can be 20-30% with BBQ sauce being far more expensive.

Why do dropkicks on Centrelink often earn more than me working full-time? I work a day a week in tax to fund their lifestyle. We should be able to choose exactly where we want our taxes to go or maybe where we don't want them to go

^ have a couple of kids and their income is way above yours mate, living in taxpayer funded rental accommodation, subsidised power, water and gas, fuel up on taxpayers drugs/alcohol then they buggerise around in tax payer funded cars on taxpayers fuel on taxpayers roads doing burnouts all hours of the day and night.
then they teach their kids to have the same lifestyle. we have a couple on our street right now.... the safety net has become a cargo net...... quote "why is it so!"
