      Its like the Doc who sold the fake boner pills and made disgruntled customers get documentation from a doctor that they were sexually inadequate. Like homeopathy but with a higher profit (though not profit margin...sugar is way cheap).

      Anyone want to put a business model together? I am a Scientist and can spout tech drivel quite well....

      "Super Strings Dampening Buckyball Sacks" anyone?

      You need a bigger piece if there is voltage drop.

        Replace your components standard power fuse with a heavier gauge silver fuse - having less resistance, greater conductivity and superior construction (less resonance).
        Great idea. Make the current limiter lower resistance so it can handle more current.

          No offence Bob. Quite the contrary... It's a commentary on our American buying mentality.

            No problem, Chuck, I was just kidding!

            BTW it's interesting to note that the same phenomenon happens here.....if something comes from "certain countries" it definitely HAS to be good......I guess that buying mentalities are more or less the same all around the world ( and the d@mned marketing guys unfortunately do know that ).

              SO what are we to do? The world's best pistachio nuts come from freaking Iran.

                Sure, but the bag doesn't say 'Iranian Nuts' in bold header. They're not using it as a market ploy... As we intend to.

                Maybe a good gimmic would be to use chia covering on the product line. We could use only the finest European chia seed

                  I used to buy bags of Iranian pistachios. They really were the best - large and tasty. The brand was Germack - Pride of Iran - Pistachios.

                  Then the whole US Embassy hostage thing happened. We are talking in the Jimmy Carter era now. And all of a sudden Iran was a dirty word. And quick as can be, the bags had a new label stuck over the old:
                  Germack - Pride of Germack - Pistachios

                  And not long at all after that, we couldn;t get Iranian pistachios, or Iranian anything else. Germack started selling California pistachios.

                  They are still around


                  I don;t know about the bag, but I think I have some chia items in my refrigerator. AT least that's what it looks like.
