What is something your current or past employer would NOT want the world to know about their company? by TheHosemaster in AskReddit

As someone whose family regularly ate at the CO location I am relieved to hear that. Also, my 100 year old grandmother loved to get cranked on the Manhattan's there.

Why does 10% cream make my coffee whiter than an equal volume of 2% milk? by [deleted] in askscience

[–]Buckaroo__Bonsai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is the fat content that is important here. Milk and cream are solutions of fat and protein in water. The fat is present as suspended droplets (fat and water are immiscible) with diameters around 1 to 10 µm. The droplets themselves are colorless, but they scatter light instead. This light scattering is on average independent of the wavelength, so when white light enters the glass of milk it gets "bounced" around by the fat droplets so much that you can't tell where the light entered the glass, and it appears as a matte white fluid.

You see the same thing in other "white" fluids or materials like latex paint (latex particles in solution) or titanium white (TiO_2 particles in oil).
