Listen "27: Juicy Salif, Canada's Maple Syrup Reserve, Stripey Things, Shoe Tossing"
Episode Synopsis
Alberto Alessi once called the "Juicy Salif", a citrus juicer designed by Philippe Starck, “the most controversial lemon juicer of the century”. Why was that? 📍 Canada has what’s referred to as a “Maple Syrup Reserve”. It’s also been called the “Fort Knox of Maple Syrup”. We’ll explain. 📍 The enduring popularity of "stripey things" is something that has been very relevant for REMO over the years, and the history of those striped tops is interesting, and it’s not just about the French Navy. 📍 Look, up in the sky. It’s a pair of shoes tied together by the laces. Why do people do it, and what does it mean?About REMORANDOMREMORANDOM is a printed biannual book series that celebrates Uncommon knowledge and everything interesting.Browse and order REMORANDOM books and/or subscribe to the series via the REMORANDOM.com website HERE.Subscribe to this companion “REMORANDOM” podcast wherever you listen to your podcasts … or watch in video format HERE on Spotify, HERE on YouTube or HERE on Substack.About REMOREMO was founded as a General Store in Sydney in 1988, and was famous for its mail order catalogues.
