London has a huge burlesque scene, and I agree they made up the bulk of WM's audience. As awesome as steampunk is, it couldn't fill the Scala.

I'm with #2.

All you whiskey connoisseurs are missing the point: this is supposed to result in slower-melting ice, so the drink doesn't become watery. But the water is an inescapable product of cooling the whiskey. If the ice melts slower, your drink will be warmer.

This is just an example of trying to sex-up a product with science, instead of relying on its real draw: it looks neat.

If it causes ill health in the doses supplied, it's toxic. Diabetes, heart disease, metabolic syndrome. These substances in these quantities meet the definition for toxicity

I think you're confusing public health with toxicity. Diabetes is a complex illness with many factors, and I don't think you can say that by virtue of being cheap, something is toxic.

I'm not getting into the complexities of public health, but Cory calling Pinkberry 'toxic gunk' is just plain wrong.

OMG chemicals!

(Like you don't seek out a solution of 1,3,7-trimethyl-1H-purine-2,6(3H,7H)-dione every morning)

Everything substance on Earth is a chemical, with associated nomenclature. It doesn't indicate toxicity...

Whoa there Cory!

While I accept that Pinkberry may have been caught mis-selling their wares, how did you get from there to 'toxic'???

The idea that a food additive is somehow 'crap' is just plain silly. E300? Vitamin C. E260? Vinegar.

Shame on Pinkberry for their dishonesty, but please don't further the stereotype that all additives are inherently dangerous.

I agree with the others who've said: 'big deal'. It's just a little bug spray, and quite routine.

I grew up in the South Pacific, and the mosquito population was kept in check with van-dispersed DDT. Much preferable to breath a wisp of that once a year than to get malaria.

In fairness to Heathrow, I passed through T5 today and had no problems whatsoever. I cleared border security and baggage reclaim in less than an hour, which is certainly better than I've ever achieved at T4.

So there's good news among the bad.
