In response to the VC++ bug report, a friend at Microsoft forwarded this
log from the Excel bugs database, concerning the fact that the labels on
the milk cartons in the fridge were wrong. ("Darigold" is a Seattle-area
dairy.)

Proof... that the Excel team is reaching the breaking point...

: Go to the kitchen
: Grab a Darigold chocolate milk carton
: Read the ingredients list
--! Either Darigold has discovered a chocolate cow, or something's
missing from the ingredients list. It only lists milk, vitamin A, and
vitamin D. So where does the chocolate/sugar flavor come from?
-------------------- ACTIVE - 05/12/94 - T:ANDREN -----------------------
Moo info:
: Grab a Darigold 2% milk carton (NOT chocolate)
: Read the ingredients
--! Says it contains Cocoa, Sugar, Guar gum... Looks like the
Chocolate and 2% ingredient lists have been swapped.

looks like an internals problem?
--------------- ASSIGNED to D:ROSSC - 05/12/94 - D:ROSSC ----------------
UI Problem. I'll take it.

They don't make milk at the Issaquah Darigold. Calling Ranier Ave.
--------------- ASSIGNED to D:ROSSC - 05/12/94 - D:JOHNO ----------------
I can't repro. Do you have the wrong MILKINTL.DLL?
--------------- ASSIGNED to D:ROSSC - 05/12/94 - T:AARONBRE -------------
By design? I think new US health labeling went in to effect this month.
--------------- ASSIGNED to D:ROSSC - 05/12/94 - D:ROSSC ----------------
Wrong Department. Transferred from Distribution to Production. Left
voicemail for "Frank".
--------------- ASSIGNED to D:ROSSC - 05/12/94 - D:ROSSC ----------------
Reproduces in the Development Kitchen. Need a native build of the
Kitchen...

This is a feature. IntelliSense labeling knew that you didn't want to
feel guilty about the chocolate in the milk, so it didn't list it on the
box.
--------------- ASSIGNED to D:ROSSC - 05/12/94 - D:MATTB ----------------
Recommend postpone. Reading the ingredients is not a common user
scenario.
--------------- ASSIGNED to EXCEL - 05/12/94 - D:ROSSC ------------------
By Design. However, there's another bug that should be entered:
They got the calories correct on the chocolate milk (190). I still
feel guilty.
--------------- ASSIGNED to EXCEL - 05/12/94 - D:CHINTANM ---------------
I think postpone for after mac release. Also keep the buggy samples
fully intact with debug symbols and map file till this one gets
reactivated for the next release.

Please make sure a copy of the above is stored on \\cashcow for future
reference.
--------------- RESOLVED - WON'T FIX - 05/12/94 - P:IVESC ---------------
Fixing the package is just a band-aid. We need to come up with a
solution that addresses the real problem in 96. My recommendation is
chocolate cows.
Please close and assign to DARIGOLD.

I thought the latest drop of ole2 manager supports insitu ingredient srvr?
