Reply to comment by DavoTB in TIL If Coca-Cola's inventor had decided to file a patent application in 1892 instead of keeping the recipe a secret, patent protection would have expired long before Pepsi ever came onto the market in 1965. Patent protection lasts 20 years at most. Trade secrets can last forever. by ethereal3xp

1965 was when Pepsi-Cola Company merged with Frito Lay and formed PepsiCo Inc. Pepsi-Cola was first formulated in 1898 by Caleb Bradham.

Reply to comment by LoserCowGoMoo in [TIL] Early in his career, Colonel Sanders, the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken, had a habit of getting into fights. He once had a shootout with a competitor, Matt Stewart. After Stewart shot and killed one of Sanders' employees, Stewart was convicted of murder, eliminating Sanders' competition. by OvidPerl

Well, let me just quote the late great Colonel Sanders who said "I'm too drunk to taste this chicken".

Reply to TIFU by nearly burning the house down while making a grilled cheese sandwich by MeggieAC

Get a flat pan and cook them on your stovetop, not the oven. Put the burner on medium to medium/low. Butter the bread and cook the sandwiches until the bread toasts. By that point the cheese should be melted. If it toasts too fast you can easily control the heat.

Here’s a link to some grilled cheese and tomato basil soup that I make for the wife and kids. The bread is sourdough and I used cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
