CULTURAL QA 03202427
Q1 What are some of the greatest examples of presence of mind?
KR OLD WINE IN THE NEW BOTTLE. I had written this long ago.
Q4 What do you know that most people don't?
KR kiska kahani sab? Vo kahani bluff?
1 Fanta in US is orange in color but it is Yellow colored in UK.
KR London Fanta is not typically yellow. Fanta is a soft drink
brand owned by The Coca-Cola Company, and its colors can vary depending on
the flavor. For example, orange Fanta is typically orange in color, while
lemon Fanta is typically yellow. However, if there's a specific variant of
Fanta in London that is yellow, it might be a limited edition flavor or a
regional variation that was introduced after my last update. It's also
possible that there was a promotional or special edition Fanta released in
London with a yellow color. For the most accurate and up-to-date information,
I recommend checking the official Fanta website or contacting the Coca-Cola
Company directly. I do not wish to blow his nose.
2. Most of the sodas sold in Mexico comes with a warning labeled “Not for
Children” due to its high sugar and caffeine in it.
KR Another hoax as if only Mexico. In Mexico, certain products,
including beverages like Fanta, may carry a "Not for children" label if
they contain high levels of caffeine or other ingredients that are not
suitable for consumption by children. This labelling is often required by
regulatory authorities to ensure that products with potentially harmful
ingredients are not consumed by those for whom they may pose a risk. It's
important for manufacturers to comply with these regulations to ensure the
safety of consumers, particularly children. If you have specific concerns
about a particular Fanta product in Mexico or its labelling, I would
recommend checking with the manufacturer or relevant regulatory authorities
for the most accurate information.
Labelling regulations can vary significantly from one country to
another. While some countries may have regulations requiring certain
products to carry warnings or labels indicating that they are not suitable
for children, others may not have such requirements. Additionally, the
specific content and wording of such labels can also differ depending on
local regulations and cultural norms.
Each country has its own regulatory bodies responsible for overseeing
labelling requirements and ensuring that products are safe for consumption.
These bodies may establish guidelines for labeling based on factors such as
ingredients, nutritional content, potential allergens, and other safety
considerations.
Therefore, it's essential to check the labeling regulations specific to
each country if you have questions about whether certain products carry
warnings or labels indicating they are not suitable for children.
As of last update in January 2022, there isn't a specific nationwide
labelling requirement in the United States that mandates products to carry
a "Not for children" label. However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) and other regulatory bodies oversee labelling requirements for food
and beverage products to ensure they meet certain standards for safety and
transparency.
In the United States, products that contain ingredients or substances that
may be harmful to children typically have specific warnings or restrictions
outlined in their labelling. For example, products containing alcohol or
certain over-the-counter medications often carry warnings advising against
consumption by children.
Additionally, the FDA requires certain information to be included on food
and beverage labels, such as ingredient lists, nutritional information,
allergen declarations, and any required health or safety warnings.
Overall, while there isn't a blanket "Not for children" label requirement
in the U.S., products with potentially harmful ingredients or substances
are typically required to have appropriate warnings or restrictions
outlined in their labeling based on specific regulations and guidelines set
by regulatory authorities.
India does not have a specific nationwide labelling requirement for
products to carry a "Not for children" label. However, like other
countries, India has regulations and guidelines overseen by regulatory
authorities such as the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India
(FSSAI).
In India, food and beverage products are required to comply with labelling
regulations that ensure transparency and safety for consumers. These
regulations may include requirements for ingredient lists, nutritional
information, allergen declarations, and other relevant information on
product packaging.
If a product in India contains ingredients or substances that may be
harmful to children, it is typically required to have appropriate warnings
or restrictions outlined in its labelling based on specific regulations and
guidelines set by regulatory authorities.
It's important to note that regulations and labelling requirements can
evolve over time, so for the most up-to-date information on labeling
requirements in India, it's advisable to consult the FSSAI or other
relevant regulatory authorities. So labelling in Mexico is not in anyway
unique.
3. In Peru and few other soccer loving countries, you will find a TV remote
with a specific “Soccer” button on them.
KR A feature commonly found on television remotes, where you can
quickly switch to sports channels, including soccer matches, by pressing a
dedicated button labelled "soccer" or "sports."
These specialized buttons are often provided by television service
providers or TV manufacturers to make it easier for viewers to access their
favourite sports content with just one press. When pressed, the button
typically changes the channel to a pre-selected sports channel or to the
last sports channel that was watched.
This feature is especially popular in regions where soccer (football) is a
widely followed sport, such as Europe, South America, and parts of Asia.
So not only Peru as written; US TVs have tennis remote button. Indian
remote have Netflix amazon etc
4. Chicken lay not only white and brown eggs but they also lay green eggs.
KR Another half know how; "Green eggs" is a term popularized by the
children's book "Green Eggs and Ham" written by Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss
Geisel). In the story, the character Sam-I-Am tries to convince another
character to try green eggs and ham, despite the other character's initial
reluctance. The phrase "green eggs" refers to eggs that are coloured green,
which is an unusual and fantastical concept in the book.
In reality, green eggs can occur naturally in some breeds of chickens,
particularly those with specific genetics. Araucana, Ameraucana, and Easter
Egger chickens are known for laying eggs with blue or green shells due to a
pigment called biliverdin. NOT ALL. The presence of this pigment can result
in eggs that appear green or blue. However, the colour of the eggshell does
not affect the taste or nutritional value of the egg.
While green eggs are not commonly found in most supermarkets, they can
sometimes be obtained from specialty farms or farmers' markets where such
chicken breeds are raised. Additionally, some people enjoy dyeing eggs
green for festive occasions such as St. Patrick's Day or Easter, using food
colouring or natural dyes.
5. The largest waterfall in the world is under water in Denmark.
KR: Another unverified report of big water falls underwater in
Denmark. Underwater waterfalls are a fascinating natural phenomenon that
occurs in certain parts of the world where the topography and currents
create the *illusion of a waterfall* beneath the surface of the water.
These "waterfalls" are not actually caused by water flowing over a cliff or
rock formation but are instead optical illusions resulting from the
interaction of underwater currents.
One notable example of an underwater waterfall illusion occurs off the
coast of Mauritius, an island nation in the Indian Ocean. Here, the
movement of sand and sediment creates a visually striking effect that
resembles a waterfall plunging into the depths of the ocean. However, in
reality, it is the movement of sand and silt being carried by underwater
currents that gives the impression of a waterfall.
Similar underwater waterfall illusions can be found in other locations
around the world, but they are relatively rare and typically require
specific geological and oceanographic conditions to occur. These phenomena
are often popular attractions for divers and tourists seeking unique
natural wonders to explore.
Denmark is not known for having natural waterfalls in the traditional
sense, where water cascades over cliffs or rocks. The landscape of Denmark
is generally characterized by low elevation and gentle slopes, which
doesn't lend itself to the formation of large waterfalls.However, Denmark
does have some man-made waterfalls or cascades, primarily in parks or
recreational areas where water features have been created for aesthetic or
recreational purposes. These artificial waterfalls are often part of
landscaped gardens or park designs and are not formed by natural geological
processes like those found in other countries with more rugged terrain. In
summary, while Denmark may have artificial waterfalls in certain locations,
it is not known for natural waterfalls formed by natural processes such as
erosion or the flow of rivers over rocky terrain.
*Denmark does not have any known underwater waterfalls like those found
in some other parts of the world, such as Mauritius. The* underwater
waterfall phenomenon typically occurs in regions with specific geological
and oceanographic conditions, where the movement of sand and sediment
creates the illusion of a waterfall beneath the surface of the water.
Denmark’s coastal geography consists mainly of low-lying land, gentle
slopes, and sandy beaches, rather than the dramatic underwater topography
required to produce an underwater waterfall illusion. While Denmark has
beautiful coastlines and marine environments, the specific conditions
necessary for the formation of underwater waterfalls are not present in
this region. Therefore*, underwater waterfalls are not a natural phenomenon
associated with Denmark*.
7. T-shirts were originally marketed to unmarried men who didn’t know how
to sew buttons back on collared shirts. Icon for Indian History
KR Another shot false @falls.
The origin of T-shirts can be traced back to the late 19th century.
Originally, they were used as undergarments worn by labourers, sailors, and
miners due to their practicality and comfort. The T-shirt's simple design,
with a short-sleeved, collarless style, made it ideal for work in hot
environments.
The name "T-shirt" comes from the garment's shape, resembling the letter
"T" when laid flat. The design was relatively basic, consisting of a simple
rectangular piece of fabric with sleeves attached.
The T-shirt gained wider popularity during World War I when the U.S. Navy
issued them as undergarments to be worn beneath uniforms. After the war,
veterans continued to wear them as casual clothing, contributing to their
growing popularity.
In the 1950s, the T-shirt began to be worn as outerwear rather than just
underwear. This shift was influenced by popular culture, including
Hollywood stars wearing T-shirts in movies and music icons like Elvis
Presley sporting them on stage.
The T-shirt's popularity surged further in the 1960s and 1970s with the
rise of youth counterculture movements. T-shirts became a canvas for
self-expression, featuring slogans, logos, and artistic designs that
reflected political, social, and cultural viewpoints.
Today, T-shirts are ubiquitous in fashion and are available in countless
styles, colours, and designs. They remain a staple of casual wear for
people of all ages and backgrounds, symbolizing comfort, versatility, and
individual style.
Q5 What are some lesser-known facts about Draupadi?
KR That is why elders said good things must be read, and not 2 pieces
of shits only. I had written all these sometime times back and why again
griding as if scholarly? There is say-KIDS STUFF WILL NOT COME INTO THE
MARKETS. K Rajaram IRS 27324

*CULTURAL QA 03-2024-27*
*All the below QA are from QUORA DIGEST to me on 27-03-2024. *
*Selected Quora answers by scholars generally interesting are included.
Still they need not be 100% correct answers.Few jokes are included.*
* Compiled and posted by R Gopalakrishnan, 80, on 27-3-2024 *
*Q1 What are some of the greatest examples of presence of mind?*
*A1 Vipin Chandran, Worked at IBM (company) (2016–2017)Updated 6y*
*1998 second nuclear test by India.Result - Successful.*
*Western countries were furious. USA had a series of bilateral talks with
India and asked India to join CTBT and NPT but India refused. All the
western countries expressed their concern. China blamed India for the test
that we are causing arms race. Pakistan blamed India and they said they
would also test it in future. Overall there were tensions everywhere.*
*A resolution was passed in UN and economic sanctions were imposed on
India. This was a big blow to India since India just came out from economic
crisis in 1991.*
*The PM of India Vajpayee sent a telegram to US president Bill Clinton
which contained only a single line.*
*After reading the “one liner” Clinton removed the economic sanctions. When
USA removed many western countries removed.*
*That one liner was “ Nuclear tests were conducted to ensure the security
and sovereignty of India and to defend ourself from CHINA”*
*Vajpayee known for his diplomatic skills to solve problems,used “china” in
the telegram because US were always opposed to communism and this made
Clinton happy and satisfied enough to remove sanctions.*
*Though India has two potential enemies namely Pakistan and China. Had he
used Pakistan,we wouldnt have got a quicker solution since US was regularly
funding Pakistan. Vajpayee’s presence of mind worked here diplomatically.*
*Addl info:Challenges faced by India while planning to conduct the tests:*
*USA's Spy satellites were monitoring movements in pokhran.*
*US might tap down the conversations.*
*What India did?*
*Since the remote sensing satellite of US would click high precision images
and send it to them when it crosses pokhran, scientists worked mostly in
night and particularly at a time when the satellite is not present
overhead.*
*Scientists mostly used codewords.*
*Ex) "Is Sierra serving whisky in the canteen yet? Has the store arrived?"
Decoded that meant: "Has the nuclear device been lowered in the special
chamber (canteen) in the shaft called White House (Whisky was its other
name) and have the scientists (Sierra) started working on them?"*
*Scientists camouflaged as military personnels so that local villagers
wouldn't be suspicious.*
*Now there is a permanent satellite of US monitoring pokhran :p*
*Q2 What are some great jokes about countries?*
*A2 Louis Gabriel,8h*
*Let’s see how many countries I can offend in just one joke:*
*On a beautiful deserted island in the middle of nowhere, the following
people are stranded:*
*2 Italian men and 1 Italian woman; 2 French men and 1 French woman; 2
German men and 1 German woman; 2 Greek men and 1 Greek woman; 2 English men
and 1 English woman; 2 Polish men and 1 Polish woman; 2 Japanese men and 1
Japanese woman; 2 American men and 1 American woman; 2 Australian men and 1
Australian woman; 2 Irish men and 1 Irish woman*
*One month later, the following things have occurred:*
*- One Italian killed the other Italian for the woman.*
*- The two Frenchmen and the French woman are living happily together
having loads of sex.*
*- The two Englishmen are still waiting for someone to introduce them to
the English woman.*
*- The two Germans have a strict weekly schedule of when they alternate
with the German woman.*
*- The two Americans are contemplating the virtues of suicide; while the
American woman keeps on bitching about her body being her own, the true
nature of feminism, how she can do everything they can do, the necessity of
fulfillment, the equal division of household chores, how her last boyfriend
respected her opinion and treated her much nicer and how her relationship
with her mother is improving. But at least the taxes here are low and it is
not raining.*
*- The two Japanese men are waiting for instructions from Tokyo.*
*- The two Greek men are sleeping with each other, and the Greek woman is
cleaning and cooking for them.*
*- The Polish men took a long look at the endless ocean, then looked at the
Polish woman and started swimming.*
*- The two Australians are still looking for sheep.*
*- The Irish began by dividing the island into North and South and setting
up a distillery. They do not remember if sex has entered the picture
because it gets sort of foggy after the first few liters of coconut
whiskey, but they are satisfied in that at least the English aren’t getting
any.*
*Q3 What is the funniest joke you've been told that you still think
about to this day?*
*A3 Eric Bassett,9h*
*A guy was walking down the beach and stubs his toe on something in the
sand. He looks down and sees something shiny, so he clears the sand away
and reveals a genie’s lamp. He rubs the lamp, the genie pops out and says
“Master, I will grant you one wish”. The guy scoffs and says “I thought I
was supposed to get three wishes” to which the genies replies “You cannot
believe everything you see in the movies, you get one wish”*
*The guy thinks hard and says “I am a wealthy man, I can afford almost
anything money can buy. I have seen how beautiful Hawaii is on TV and I
have always wanted to visit but I am scared to fly, and I get sea sick on
boats. My wish is to have a bridge from California to Hawaii so I can drive
there.”*
*The genie gets a look of shock on his face, he says “That is not a wish
that I can fulfill, the wish is too extreme and complicated and will not be
granted, make your one wish.”*
*The man thinks and thinks and then he says “Aha, I know, I have succeeded
in almost all aspects of life, but in doing so I have never been able to
find love, I have dated many women, but for one reason or another it never
worked out, the women always left me and I cannot understand why. My wish
is to be able to understand how women think, to have the knowledge that
will allow me to fulfill all a woman’s needs.”*
*The genie replies “I see, so would you like that to be a two lane or a
four lane bridge?”*
*Q4 What do you know that most people don't?*
*A4 Vo Kahani He 20h*
* 1 Fanta in US is orange in color but it is Yellow colored in UK.*
*2. Most of the sodas sold in Mexico comes with a warning labeled “Not for
Children” due to its high sugar and caffeine in it.*
*3. In Peru and few other soccer loving countries, you will find a TV
remote with a specific “Soccer” button on them.*
*4. Chicken lay not only white and brown eggs but they also lay green eggs.*
*5. The largest waterfall in the world is under water in Denmark.*
*6. The youngest parents were of age 8 and 9 lived in China in 1910.*

*Space dedicated to Indian History : from the ancient to the modern.*
*Q5 What are some lesser known facts about Draupadi?*
*A5 Sachin Mishra,Works at Government of India (2014–present)Updated
5y*
*Well, I am not being a racist/colorist but, Draupadi didn't look like the
white skinned actresses of Mahabharata linked tv serials that we are used
to. ….*
*Yes. She was ‘krishna varna' (dark skinned) like Lord Krishna.*
*Having said that, she was considered as one of the most beautiful women of
her times. (Her swayamvar had them all!)*
*Moral of the story : Fairness creams, apart from being a deterrent against
Mahabharat-II, are b******t.*
*Edit 1 : I wasn't expecting so many views, upvotes and comments. Thanks
everyone!*
*&THANKS Prateekshaa for the edit! :—)*
*Jai has some additional information -*
* “You know even her real name was ‘Krishna’ because she was dark
skinned. When came out of the Yagna-Kund after that during her naming
ceremony she was named ‘Krishna’*
* Than she was the daughter of king Drupad she was called ‘Draupadi’ &
because she was the princess of Paanchal therefore she was called
‘Paanchali’*
* Like goddess Sita was called ‘Maithali’ because she was the princess
of kingdom ‘Mithila’ & because she was daughter of king Janak she was
called ‘Janak Nandini’*
* & original name of mata Kunti was ‘Pritha’ She was named ‘Kunti’
because she was the princess of kingdom Kuntibhoj*
* I'm sorry because I wrote extra but I just wanted to share all of
this.”*
* Since she was born out of a yagya kund, she was also called
yajnasaini.*
