Lake Pus - Aldi "Vanilla" rice pudding

28 Sep 2012 145
If only I hadn't stirred! Oh, this is rice pudding btw. - at least that's what's printed on the container. The pre-stir pudding looked pretty good and it tasted pretty good too. The vanilla note was a bit on the low side, but it was OK. When I hit the bottom of the container, things started to go bad. I think this is what you get when 'aroma' is made by people who usually deal with plastic, polymers, additives and synthetic lubricants. Vanilla aroma made by Chem.-Giants. YUCK! And it doesn't even taste like Vanilla. There is a sickening smell of ultra-cheap baking aroma (pseudo-rum) or similar stuff. Next time just do it without the yellow CRAP and it will be edible. The sad thing is that today's youngsters will probably prefer this abomination over real Vanilla ("what's all this black dirt doing in there?").

BAD IEC plug

The power supply itself seems quite decent, but the cable / plug... not so.

16A... sure...

You need ad least 1.5mm² to handle 16A safely. 0.5mm² is simply not enough! But does the actually have 0.5mm² of copper inside? Let's check!

Supposedly 0.5mm² of copper

Hmmmm. Each wire has about 20 strands. Diameter 80µm. There's just NO WAY that adds up to 0.5mm². Depending on how I calculate the cross section (multiply strand cross section vs. measure wire diameter with air gaps), I end up with values between 0.005mm² and 0.15mm² - NOT ENOUGH.
