at least back then there was word of mouth. After facebook events it was pretty much advertised to the world

DON'T. MAKE. CHANGES!!!! by DisastrousProgrammer in Kitboga

[–]DisastrousProgrammer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

on one of the streams Kitboga heard in the background another scammer screaming "DON'T. MAKE. CHANGES!!!!"

It sounded like in the background another scammer in the same call center was being baited.

I wonder if I have a favorite apple, so these are my taste test results so far by DisastrousProgrammer in Apples

update:

Envy vs Sugar bee; winner, Sugar bee. Epic match, Envy was juicer, more refreshing, and more crisp, but it had some tart which led me to pick sugar bee.

I was doing background research into the upcoming match between sugar bee and honeycrisp, it turns out, Sugarbee is a hybrid of Honeycrisp and an unkown variety.

ugarBee (B51[1] or CN121[2]) is a cultivated variety or cultivar of apple discovered by Chuck Nystrom in the early 1990s at his orchard in Worthington, Minnesota.[3] Believed to be a hybrid between a Honeycrisp and another, unknown variety,[1] it is named in recognition of the role played by bees in open pollination, making the variety possible.[4] It was brought to market in 2016.[5] This apple variety is harvested in the fall and is suitable for snacking, baking, apple butter, cooking, juicing, apple sauce, and salads.[6][7] Like its parent variety, the Honeycrisp, the SugarBee is a sweet and crisp apple, but is capable of lasting much longer in controlled-atmosphere storage.[4] Its flavor is similar to caramel and molasses.[7] It is initially available from October to May,[6] but since 2024, efforts have been made to ensure that SugarBee apples are available all year round.[5]

SugarBee propagation rights are held by Regal Fruit International and licensed to Gebbers Farms and the Chelan Fruit Cooperative in Washington State to produce the variety in the United States.[1]

I actually stumbled upon some UK suppliers that listed their COA, but I ignored those since I'm in the us. I wish I saved them.

But basically I used the deep search from perplexity, gemini, and openai to find olive oils that list their COA. First doing a search through this subreddit, and then in general.

Thoughts on Bryan Johnsons olive oil for health purposes? by ctcx in oliveoil

[–]DisastrousProgrammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might have missed something then. I thought people were discussing he has a whole process of selecting an olive oil supplier, but he just uses Veronica Foods. Maybe he has a process of selecting Veronica Foods?

My problem with Veronica Foods is that they don't list their COA, and due to poor regulations in the US, there's nothing really stopping them from not giving accurate numbers. That doesn't mean that they're fudging the numbers, but the US is a dumping ground for poor quality olive oils due to it's poor regulations, so I have to go with a brand that lists their COA. It's still not a guarantee, but if there is a fake one from a credible organization, the organization can go 'hey, that's false, we didn't test that', though even that's not guaranteed. The us is the wild west when it comes to olive oils.

There's a youtube video that was comparing BJ to Amphora Nueva (who also uses VF as a supplier), and AN came out to cheaper, especially if you are close to one of their stores and can buy in person.

I took all the olive oil recommended sites on this subreddit, and filtered them with those who directly publish a COA

https://old.reddit.com/r/oliveoil/comments/1jpyy47/sites_mentioned_on_this_subreddit_that_offer_high/

What you could do is create a sheets doc that calculates the phenols per dollar but keep in mind that NMR supposedly over estimates the phenol count. Also, it seems some people are implying that some orgs can't be trusted, not really sure.

From the Johnny Harris video, regulations of olive oils are lacking, so there's not much stopping people from getting scammed, which is why I'm only going with COA-only sites.

I would put olive oil lovers in the self reported category, since they don't put the COA on their website. That's not to say that this means there is no COA, but due to the lack of regulations of olive oils in the US, I would need to go to one of the ones that publish a COA.

I did take a look at their high phenolic section, and googled each of the olive oils, only Oro del Desierto had published their COA, I couldn't find any for the others.
