Thanks a lot Tom and Bart! I’ll probably just do that, fish out the pieces, and use a magnet 
. I was thinking that… I’m sure there wouldn’t be any REAL harm from little bits. But still, i’d try and pick out as much as I could :-P. All of my F&T tins are pretty much alright @GoHawks . Its really only the Old Paris that has that problem. The rest of mine are pretty much free of any particles.
I had an old tin of princes that had a mysterious white semi-irradescent smatering of tiny flakes. I wondered what they were (snuffed them as my intuition said it’s cool). Latter I saw the identical flakes on my bookshelf where I had a little spilling of essential oils. I think in some cases it might be that. Either that or they’ve been adding cocaine so that people will get hooked (that jokes for you canadians, Hope you get the Tim Hortons rumor refrence).
There is a link between Tim Hortons and Cocaine? Lol . Explain bob! I may be Canadian but I have no clue what you’re speaking of
there were rumors around that they added either cocaine or nicotine to get people hooked on their coffee. These rumors started because some people are so ignorant they don’t realize caffine is addictive.
Ahh I see. Yeah, just sounds like caffine to me , but people will say crazy things…
@ bob Having spent a couple months working at Tim Hortons in Canada I am pretty sure they add something. Those crazy Canadians are more addicted to Tim Hortons than any American I’ve ever seen. I spent 3 years working for the company in the states and it never reached the level of almost fanatical devotion some of our northern neighbors seemed to have.
@SnuffHead Magnets don’t work on aluminum (or aluminium) in the US either.
Guess you fellers don’t own a rare ‘earth MAGNET’ .Yeah…, that’s what I figured. Attracts everything from aluminum to women.
Bart has a REAL chick magnet
Its called a Corvette
it’s called having a name that starts with a B. Seriously it’s a biological fact. Which is why I can’t be held accountable.
I understand. I have a name that CAN start with a B (Robert) and my last name starts with a B. So I have TWO. The chicks don’t leave me the hell alone.
I really don’t think the alphabet has anything to do with it , but I’ll take your word for it
See what I’am talking about. The hardest part is explaining to your wife that you’re just a man and you aren’t the one that gave you the name.
Well, my initials are B.M. which is yet ANOTHER chick magnet(edit: that’s just a magnet for “loose” women)…some folks have all the luck!
LOL you are all excellent for laughs . Good show
@bart your initials are B. M. which stands for “boy magnet” You’re doomed.
You guys are lucky my initials are S.B. and all I seem to get are “super bitches”
LOL!
Back to the Nicotine in the Timmy’s… Bob. The nicotine rumor for the Timmy’s coffee is slightly true. ( although I have no absolute proof). Nicotine is used as a “organic” insecticide in some coffee bean farms. It is also easier and cheaper to use especially if your farm is near a tobacco farm. I think there was a thread on here years back about creating your own insecticide with stale snuff? It essentially give any insect that comes into contact with the spray, certain death. I’m sure there are “acceptable” residual levels of it on the beans as they are harvested like any other product that requires pesticide. For example, fruit. The most common chemicals used ( in Canada) are sulfur and copper for fungicides. ( Also classified as Organic chemicals) They also have acceptable residual levels for harvest. Yum! Sulfur tomatoes and Copper grapes!!!
