Hmmm, interesting. Wikipedia and a bunch of books on the history of Apple all have it wrong I guess.

Hmmmm, I had read before that he choose the name "Apple" because he was on some fruit-focused diet and had recently returned from an apple orchard, but none of those are the same as that claim, I suppose C: He always treasured apple picking Washington apples with his grandmother comes the closest, so that's the one I'll go with...

I seem to recall that Pepsi was the original exclusive soft drink at Disneyland. Disney wouldn't make a switch unless getting a sweetheart deal, so I don't think Free signage would do it - Coke puts up branded signs, awnings, thermometers, tables, menu boards and gobs of other stuff either free or at a reduced price. I don't recall many exclusive flavors only at Disney Parks, So it's between C and D. A one-cent royalty? Who pays for the syrup then? That sounds off, so I'm gonna guess that Coke provides their syrup free of charge (which is how Disney makes a butt-load of profit selling a large coke for $5.99 or whatever.) So I''ll go with C: A Supply of unlimited soda syrup for the parks So we pay a premium price for old avocados??? I wonder if you keep an egg inside of a chicken will it still be good 7+ months later when the prices go down?

Looks very nice! Will take some getting used to of course, but I like it. Happy for the dark theme too!

I never heard of this! Can't be too long or the prices for avocados in the States wouldn't be so high. I'm gonna guess B: 2-4 months, only because 1 month seems too short and the others seem too long... Here in Brazil we have enormous avocados - more than a foot long. Taste about the same, but here they are treated more as a fruit (which I believe they are anyways...), so they eat them sprinkled with sugar, in a smoothy mixed with sweetened condensed milk, as ice cream... The green coloring I can't quite get over myself. Once in a great while I'll make guacamole if making something Mexican, luckily they also have the smaller avocados like we have in the States or I'd be eating guac for a week...

Hmmmm...tough one. But I'm gonna guess C: General Foods Corporation labs in in Battle Creek, MI just because I have the feeling that "Hidden Valley Ranch" was just made up by their advertising department. I could be wrong, but I'll stick to that answer.

Hmmm...a difficult one! I don't think it's dandelions, both because as JB pointed out - they are bitter and could affect the taste of the milk...plus I don't recall ever seeing large fields of dandelions waiting to be harvested for cattle food (not counting my old next-door neighbors back yard...). Growing up near farms I'm thinking carrots (as were potatoes) can be a choking hazard for cows, especially since they repeatedly burp them up and re-chew what is a hard texture unless they are finely ground up.. Baby formula is possible, although it has a lot of proteins. It is made largely with milk byproducts, which baby cows certainly consume. But I seem to recall a news story some years back where excess or damaged candy (it might have been Skittles, I don't recall...) was hauled to feedlots to give to cattle. Seemed strange but I think they mentioned it was because of the sugars and starch found in the candy, which would also be found in the corn. I don't think it's a widespread thing, just cattle near a candy factory I'd think. I may be going out on a limb here... But my guess is A: Skittles

Community Chat Discussion 13: 2025 Projects
We have one last bench to finish on the Wonderful Wizard of Oz PC1 project with Citytrader. It's already partly done. Because the WWoO bench didn't have much room on that side, I took a copy of the Emerald City bench, and then moved part of the Emerald City, and the surrounding areas further down on the bench, recreated the waterways, and then deleted the originals...which took a while. Then I started the transition from the Emerald City to the last area of the park The Northern Kingdom. Built a few things and then turned it over to Ctytrader to work his magic. Since I'm mainly done with WWoO and am waiting for PC2 to be improved, I decided to pick up on another project Citytrader and I had discussed a long time ago, and that was Walt Disney's original idea for a Mickey Mouse Park near the Disney Studios, which wasn't approved and Walt moved on to the far bigger Disneyland. Citytrader had a good start to a version of that park based on the planned layout that he's worked on on and off which is really nice But I stumbled upon an image showing an even earlier version of the MM Park, designed for the same plot of land, but laid out differently. So I've been working on that. As usual I tend to build BIG, which I've done this time as well...now comes the process of shrinking down the overall footprint. Right now it consists mainly of the Main Street area and part of an Old Town area along with a Fairgrounds. While I'm using a lot of Workshop blueprints, it takes time to find the ones that are scaled correctly to what I use, and then many have wholesale tweaking to fit my purposes - everything from removing multiple stories to adding on wider facades. Not a bit of TMTK made for this one...so far.

The Wonderful World of OZ
I've been busy with other things so these screenshots are some of the first views of the Yellow Brick Country bench! I mostly love how this area really lives up to it's theme...it's not dark like the Haunted Forest, it's not huge and busy like the Emerald City, it's probably the closest to Dorothy's Kansas...just with talking TinMen, Lions and Scarecrows! (I don't think Kansas has those...do they?) Anyways, this bench really adheres to Baum's version of Oz I think. Well done!

What was the first charge card called? I think I read this somewhere...I really should ask Citytrader as he around back then...but I'm going to say A: Diner Club See JB...you (finally...) got one right!!! Yay!

Oh JB...you know you would have gotten it wrong anyways... 🤣 LOL However, even though your record here is dismal at best, I'm going to join you in choosing D: The employee that created the candy So if anybody leads anybody astray I won't be ME getting blamed this time! (I blame the nerd who came up with "Mickey" rather than the name that made actual sense on that last one!).

Computer Specs
Nope, no updates just for this new game. It's quite a few years old, but for the most part still serves it's purpose. I think I would have been ticked if I had upgraded just for PC2 only to then discover it's problems! XPS 8930 i7-9700 CPU @ 3.00GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.0GHz 16384MB RAM NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 14063 MB
