ALF Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Lawsuit claims that Skittles are 'unfit for human consumption' A consumer lawsuit claims that Skittles' contain a 'known toxin' that is 'unfit for human consumption' A class action lawsuit filed on Thursday in Oakland, California by San Leandro resident Jenile Thames alleged that Skittles are unsafe for consumers because they contain "heightened levels" of titanium dioxide. The lawsuit also said titanium dioxide will be banned in the European Union next month after a food safety regulator there deemed it unsafe because of "genotoxicity," or the ability to change DNA. According to the lawsuit, titanium dioxide is used in paint, adhesives, plastics and roofing materials, and can cause DNA, brain and organ damage, and well as lesions in the liver and kidneys. https://www.foxbusiness.com/retail/lawsuit-claims-skittles-unfit-human-consumption Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royale with Cheese Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I've had the same bottle of cologne for 22 years. It still smells the same. Is there a shelf life for cologne? It's alcohol, it continues to ferment right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Perfume Expire? Yes, perfume and cologne do go bad. However, how long they last depends on the scent’s chemical composition. Many perfumes, especially from well-respected brand names like Chanel or Marc Jacobs, don’t have a hard-and-fast expiration date. Some will begin to expire in less than a year and others will last upwards of 10 years. However, three to five years is the average shelf life of a fragrance. According to experts, perfumes with heavier base notes will last the longest. Some people compare these perfumes to a fine wine—they get better with age. Examples of scents with heavier base notes include oriental scents, such as those with patchouli and amber. When the lighter base notes are prominent in a fragrance, the solution is often more volatile. Citrus, green and floral perfumes, for instance, often don’t last as long.

This is a bottle of Coolwater that I got on my 18th birthday from my brother. I keep it in the fridge because I like when the cool liquid hits my skin.
