[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am finally getting to the end of my stash of incandescent light bulbs. What —exactly— do I get now?

I have an internal hallway with ceiling fixtures. When I bought some bulbs that claimed to replace 60 watt bulbs, I ended up with dim, yellowish almost brownish light.  I have lamps in the bedroom that use 3-way bulbs, and large round globe bulbs around the vintage mirror in the bathrooms. My biggest issue at the moment though is the hallway. I used to just grab 4 packs of GE lightbulbs, and all was well.  Now I have no idea what brands are reliable and which ones aren’t, or what really replaces the old regular 60 watt bulbs.

Please help. An Amazon or other link with specifics would be great.  Thank you! 
Yes, this is a real plea. The hallway really is that bad now. [/quote]

I am in the same boat.

I keep hoping that Trump will do the one executive order almost everyone can get behind, almost as popular as the banning of paper straws, the return of incandescent lightbulbs.

It would really mess with me, but I would actually thank Trump for the return of incandescent lightbulbs and the easy availability of Coke made with cane sugar.  Wince. [/quote]

Heard about the Coke thing! That's awesome, though I'm not as big on Cokes as parents generation or cousins in old country.

Is this "coke" as in all sodas, or just Coca Cola? Or just Coca-Cola products and the sodas they control?

It's so hard to find real cane sugar in the USA, just the white bleached stuff, not the brown cane sugar like in other countries. Brown sugar is about the closest one can get here. [/quote]

I’m guessing that it will be just for the Classic Coke — not all sodas or even all sodas made by the Coca Cola company.  Cane sugar costs more, and it’s possible that younger customers — used to corn syrup— might not even like the taste. 
Coke is made with cane sugar in Mexico and is sold in the US during Passover in a limited number of stores.  They might just do a limited edition for Trump.

As to the real cane sugar, I buy turbinado sugar— easily found at Whole Foods and other stores. I’ve only used “brown” sugars for baking. I’m not sure what you’re looking for exactly, but try the turbinado sugar — which is light brown, supposedly minimally processed cane sugar. [/quote]
