Trash Panda, is that better?

hehehehe no it’s worse, way worse

A better analogy would be, why is it so easy and quick to buy a 55gal drum of oil, but it takes an hour to change your own oil?

With an update, it isn’t just raw data being downloaded. If that were the case 150MB would beat 1GB every time. Instead you are downloading data and then doing something with that data (replacing files with new ones, possibly shutting down and restarting programs, making settings changes, etc). And that “doing something” is what takes time.

The food and drinks don’t “NEED” the dyes.

There are certain foods that we know should look a certain way. And food scientists have spent a lot of effort determining what people think is appetizing. So as foods are more and more enhanced through GMOs, or high fructose corn syrup, etc. they know the color has to stay the same.

Colas for example had that brown color from caramel syrup, or sugars cooked down until they browned. Now high fructose corn syrup is used as the sweetener and coloring is used to restore the hue.

Why some food colors are harmful is a whole other concern. Sometimes a product has unintended side effects. We see that in medicines all the time.

Plumber confirmed. He’s good at laying pipe.

In General grapes are sweeter than grains (barley, oats, hops). More sugar at the beginning means more alcohol at the end.
