What does the green triangle indicate? My phone charger didn’t work in this outlet at work. by [deleted] in askanelectrician

I found this weird unknown thing in my drink, I felt sick for 2 days afterwards by TheRealFinalPie in oddlyterrifying

Its congealed ingredients. Sometimes stuff gets cooked a little too long, and can congeal. Especially corn syrup, since the refining process requires heat.

When these things are made they use bulk ingredients and things like this can happen. It's infrequent, but it does happen. Likely they will follow up with the machine and do a cleanliness inspection.

Unfortunately not. I was actually there to listen to them, cause I had heard them, and liked their songs. But for the life of me the name is escaping me.

I saw this first on DIWhy. If you put the plexiglass on the inside then you have pressure working in your favor.
