Decaf does actually still have caffeine, just normally like 97% less.
Which, I guess is like the boneless wings having 97% less bones, now in convinient needle shaped shards
Yeah, I feel like this is why it's called decaffeinated rather than caffeine-free... Caffeine has been removed but not completely.
But while the word "less" means a smaller amount, the suffix of "less" means without, i.e. childless
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/-less
Boneless doesn't mean "less" bones. The dictionary and commonly understood meaning is "without bones", and certainly without amounts of bone sufficient to cause significant injury when eating . It's certainly not a "cooking style" as uncooked chicken cuts with bones removed are sold as boneless.
Apparently these judges are "brainless"
These judges have been bought by our corporate overlords.
The depressing part is just how little they cost...
Deboned chicken would make everyone happy but I guess that’s too logical
TIL that childless does not mean cat lady.
On a bit of a tangent, I'm Finnish and recently (as in the past year or two) there's been Coke and Pepsi which literally say "caffeine-free" on the side. Not "decaffeinated", but "caffeine-free".
I think there's been some sort of innovation in decaffenation or someone's come up with a flavour/essence which replaces the ingredient with caffeine in it.
Decaf definitely has caffeine, as I've completely without caffeine at several points for several months (even avoiding chocolate mostly) and a "decaffeinated" beverage still made me clearly stimulated. A clear caffeine high.
NileRed has a nice video on him trying to decaf redbull and while he does succeed in extracting caffeine from it, he thinks it's not even half he gets out. Ofc industrial systems are more effective, but it shows how difficult the process is to perfect. https://youtu.be/oY8tz1paj6o
We've had caffeine-free Coke for years in the US. The difference is that the caffeine in Coke is added during manufacturing, so it's easy to just leave out. Whereas the caffeine in coffee is naturally occurring, so needs to be removed to make it decaf, and just like in the NileRed video, it's impossible to remove all of the caffeine.
You're not kidding. I googled it and it's been a thing since the mid 80's, lol. No idea why they only decided to sell some here in honestly the past year or two.
Well, based on the principles of homeopathy, you made the coffee more powerful by diluting the amount of caffeine.
Lol
