I believe that those are the same size bottles that I picked up at Rainbow Grocery here in SF for about $10 less a bottle. Not bad stuff, but I didn't think that it was worth the price. there is some white honey from Hawaii (forget the brand, but can probably be found on the internet) that is super expensive, but extraordinary...

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Chris- >So I spent $52 on honey!!! Zoiks! FWIW, my mom swears by Manuka honey, though I don't know how much honey she's eating nowadays. I don't have a very high opinion of Really Raw (it ferments stuff easily whereas YS Organic doesn't at all) but I've never tried Manuka myself as I just don't use that much honey. You could return it based on the pricing error, though. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least one of those 5 or 6 abstracts I sent to the list about honey being anti-candida mentioned that Manuka ( " manuka " ? I don't think it's sold exclusively) had considerably higher activity. What's YS? Usually I use RR or Honey Gardens. > You could return it based on the pricing error, though. Not sure about that. By the time I go back, if there actually was an error, they'd have probably noticed it and fixed it and there would be no evidence, since the receipt and the price on the bottle are consistent. On the other hand, they might just take my word for it since I'm a regular customer, especially if I have it unopened for exchange. Would be nice though if I got one of those deals where its free if it scans a different price than marked! Still, I want to keep it and try it out. The color is so deep, dark, and rich. I've never seen a honey that looks anything like it. It almost looks like peanut butter. At first, I thought, " Hmm, this tastes good, but not good enough to make it worht $26! " Then I let my taste buds think about it for a minute and realized that it tasted exquisite. Of course, I'd only keep paying it if the medicinal worth proved to be all it's made out to be.

Apparently 's is closest to definition 13 (the first 10 refer to getting a boner so I'm not sure I'd call that 13 different definitions!): 13. schwing an exclamation of something awesome " I just won 100 bucks. Schwing!

LOL. > It has been used for when you really like something (a hot car, food, > etc.), a hot woman, scoring in a debate point (sort of like " gotcha " ), > big penis (kidding) , etc. Well I'm sure the latter sense is applicable to many who would find themselves in a situation where they'd encounter a big penis. Interesting, thanks.
