MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What’s the difference between Jam and Jelly?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What’s the difference between Jam and Jelly?

Whether you’re having toast for breakfast with some nice jam or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, both are very tasty. But what’s the difference between Jam and Jelly?

Jam is made by mashing up fruit into chunks and the into the “jam”. Jelly is actually made with fruit juice instead of the fruits themselves. Which is why it’s a little more liquid than jam.

Now I’m really craving a peanut butter and jelly.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why are there no windows in grocery stores?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why are there no windows in grocery stores?

Next time you’re shopping for milk and eggs take a look around the store. No windows! But why?

It’s part of the retail shopping psychology. The strategy being to create a shopping environment where people feel comfortable to spend both a lot of time and money. Same idea as a casino.

Having no windows creates a feeling of endless time and make people forget about bad weather outside or if it’s getting dark out. After all, the longer you shop, the more you spend usually.

There’s a few practical reasons too. Having Large windows with sunlight beaming in all day might cause fading on packages, making them seem old or worn. There’s also the issue of space. Every window you put up takes away precious wall space for product.

So next time you’re pushing your cart around the store just be aware it was no accident that you can’t see out to the sky.
