Ed... on accounta the same machinery is used to make them but less are sold. Also, the innards are the cheapest part and the innards of an AAA are far less than the overall "packaging" surrounding the innards.

Hey... bene vederi, bene esse eh? (if it looks good, it must be good) or, in English... if you say something with enough authority and conviction, SOME people might believe your wild guess.

BTW, the Latin was our motto when I did a Master's degree in Transportation Planning and Engineering as "Planning" is accompanied by reems of supporting data and such (read fancy bullshit) which don't really matter so ya gotta make it look "good" to be able to charge a shitload of $$$ for it.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I baked spuds for supper yesterday. Used spuds from the same package as last time but the skins started to turn black on the top. They were slightly (I *thought*) overcooked as I was frying salmon and it wasn't done yet so I turned the oven off but left the spuds in the oven. They tasted VERY sweet which I found sickening... like eating a tsp of sugar with each bite. YEEECCCHHHHH! Never knew that and it'll never happen again.
