    Is it normal to feel sweetier when you get older?

    I remember when I was a teenager or in my 20s, when I drank anything advertised to be "low sugar" I almost always felt that it wasn't sweet enough. Now, in my mid 30s, I almost always feel that those "low sugar" drinks are sweet enough, or sometimes more than enough. Is it normal or abnormal?

    What is the use of vinegar and tea in cleaning?

    Can all kinds of beef be served raw?

    Will it depend on the sources or origins of the beef? I don't normally eat raw but I don't like to cook beef fully. Is it safe for most beef to be undercooked?

    Regardless of the taste, are all canned food cooked before it is put into the can and ready to serve immediately after opening? Is there any exception? Is it better to cook them first? Will it remove or reduce chemical preservatives left if washed or cooked?

    Is non-scratch sponge actually a gimmick?

    I know that steel wool will really scratch even the one made of stainless steel. However, I don't think the green side of a sponge will scratch anything obviously.

    How do you keep your sneakers the best condition

    I find that I have been buying sneakers more and more frequently in recent years it's all because they get damaged so quickly, especially interior of them, a lot more quickly than decades ago. In late 90s or early 2000, my sneakers could last for 8-10 years without problem, and without any care...

    Will you reserve something for decades?

    Do you really use kitchen thermometer for deep frying?

    Yes, without doubt, if the oil is hot, but not hot enough, this is a real problem and your food will be totally ruined.

    Will you reserve something for decades?

    I forgot to mention another problem, that is, it is not a small amount of money, it is not affecting my life though. However, you can imagine, it's like I am now paying $10000 for a single time for all these items in return for saving about $10000 over a few decades, if not a life time. Is it...

    Will you reserve something for decades?

    When you see something for real deal, yes, it's real deal, probably once in a life time, you always know the price, and you know you are saving more than 50% of the normal price you can find. Will you buy a lot for reserve? The real problem is it is not something that can be consumed quickly...

    Is non-scratch sponge actually a gimmick?

    I have noticed that many sponges are advertised to be non-scratch. I have been using many different sponges, either non-scratch or heavy-duty for years but I never find one sponge that would cause any real scratch to my cookware or dishware. However, if you are talking about fine scratches that...
