Kind of like when things that obviously had no caffeine started getting labeled âcaffeine-free.â

No thanks; Iâll take the regular. 
This one I can sort of understand, given how many products makers are artificially loading with caffeine. Maybe it helps consumers make a quicker decision without having to read the label.
OTOH, Iâm sure those who do carefully read labels are a minority of shoppers/consumers.

Fuck google to the moon. Iâve been trying to verify my small business unsuccessfully forever, and the latest attempt with a video call didnât work out either. Call was dropped. Gotta do it allllllllll again.

Besides the 3 listed in the one-box (WY/MT/AR), are there others where a lot of residents wrongly think theyâre Midwesterners?
(Article paywalled, for me at least)

Most of the traditional food in Montana, Wyoming and the Prairies tastes and looks more Midwestern than Western imo.

Above was about 4 weeks ago. Heâs still improving and has been to 2 training classes so far. Iâm not learning a whole lot in the classes except the trainerâs technique to get the dogs to walk with a loose leash seems it would be better than mine, except this pup isnât very treat motivated.
Heâs still a very aggressive chewer and weâve been buying Kevlar-reinforced âtoughest you can getâ chew toys which last him about 24 hours.
The trainer suggested âextra largeâ elk antler chews as the best for super aggressive chewers and last a long time. Yeah, right. Six (6) hours and he had it broken into splinters.
These things are $20-$25 each - why so expensive? Maybe theyâre harder to come by than I think theyâd be.
He still slips up about once a week - 10 days and finds a pair of shoes or soccer cleats to eat, especially on rainy days when my old dog doesnât want to be outside. The new pup is still taking cues from, and deferent to, old dog, but that wonât last more than another 2-3 months based on my prior experience of dog pairs. Anyway we have a lot of old shoes kept in cubbies for when we go kayaking and what not. Higher value stuff weâve got secured away outside of the dogsâ permitted roaming zone.
Or so I thought.
This is (was) one of my favorite hats. Iâve got at least 2 of these from each Florida RJ location that sells them with the badge and bill front (in small lettering) denoting the RJ (Disney apparently wonât let RJ make âRJ - Disneyâ location apparel). And they donât seem to make them anymore (just ugly black ones). My other Key West RJ hat itself is also is pretty ugly after using it for 12 years mowing.
I took out the trash and recycle bins, being gone not more than about 3 minutes, stupidly forgetting the hat hanging on the back of my chair.

Thanks much. Probably the most interesting thing, to me, is that fewer than 80% of The Worthless Nuts recognize that they are a Midwestern state. Followed by 20% of Keystoners thinking that they are MW, then so many (60% or more) in OK thinking they are. Very strange.
And FWIW, although intellectually I know the Daks are counted as Midwestern, in my gut theyâll always be Plains states.
ETA - Googleâs up top summary box âfrom sources around the webâ actually has the Daks, KS, MN, IA, NE in BOTH regions. Not that the summary box is right all the time, but checking wikipedia, I see it splits a lot of states in half like @pilgrim mentions.

In the view of folks up here, northern California is south to about Redding, Chico and Eureka or so.
Below that is evil California.

Or is it the country of Oregon sprawls to Redding, and then we have Northern California that starts at the Bay Area, with southern Ca starting about San Luis Obispo? lol

Then we have the complication of west of the Coast Range vs inland.
