Louis arrives to the supermarket and he reads the first item in his shopping list: olive oil.
He spots the oil section next to the bakery.
A worker almost drops one of the oils bottles while opening a door(click:"a door")[ with a hot bread tray].
Louis...

Ten minutes driving there is another big chain.
[[Louis changes the supermarket.->level2]]
<h3>(text-style: "bold")[LEVEL 2]</h3>
Louis is in the olive oil shelve of the new supermarket. He needs oil for the whole family.
He takes...
[[5.5lt bottle->5]]
[[2lt bottle->2]]
(text-style: "bold")[GAME OVER]
Wrong quantity. (click-replace:"Wrong quantity.")[The legal maximum size to be sold in supermarket is 5lt.
Is it the supermarket trustworthy?]
[[START|Start]]The other option was not legal.(click-append:"legal.")[ The maximum size allowed to be sold in supermarket is 5lt.]
Louis puts his bottle (click-replace:"bottle")[transparent bottle] into the shopping cart.
There is something that makes him particularly convinced of his choice. What?(click-append:"What?")[ The colour green.](click-append:"green.")[ But he is wrong.]
(click: "wrong")[The colour is not a factor of the quality of the olive oil. In fact, experts used opaque glasses not to be biased.
Why this colour?](click-append:"Why this colour?")[ It depends on the variety, the production mode and the level of ripeness.]
He...
[[pays|pay]].
[[checks the expiration date|expiration]].
[[changes the bottle|change1]].(text-style: "bold")[GAME OVER]
The [light]<tag| is another enemy of the olive oil.
(click: ?tag)[It can lose its vitamins and antioxidants substances.

[[START|Start]]
There is no expiration date(click-append:"expiration date")[. It does not turn toxic. There is, however, an advisable date of consumption](click:"date of consumption.")[ Beyond that point, the olive oil can start losing its beneficial properties for our health].
Louis...
[[pays|pay]]
[[changes the bottle|change1]]Transparent bottles are not a good idea.
(click-replace:"Transparent bottles are not a good idea.")[Opaque containers preserve better the oil and prevent the loss of its vitamins and antioxidant substances.]
If using a transparent one, keep it in a dark places or boxes.

[[Louis picks therefore an opaque bottle.->level3]]<h3>(text-style: "bold")[LEVEL 3]</h3>
The label of the new option says "pure olive oil".
He...
[[puts it into the shopping cart and moves on|names]].
[[changes again the product|change2]].
[[continues checking the label|label1]].(text-style: "bold")[GAME OVER]
Your task was buying extra virgin.

Louis checks the ingredients, although this would be senseless(click-append:"senseless")[. If it is said “extra virgin”, “virgin” or “olive oil” is only made of olives].
However, it is a way of prevent fake oils mixed with non-olive oils (click-replace:"non-olive oils")[others vegetable oils, what must be stated in the label].
Something catches Louis' attention.
Must the label say where the oil comes from?
He thinks...
"No(click-append:"No")[, it would be [[unfair competition]]]."
"Yes(click-append:"Yes")[, the origin is a way of [[differentiate qualities|change3]]]."
Some(click-replace:"Some")[Only extra virgin and virgin] olive oils must say where the oil comes from (click-append:"comes from")[, because the geographical origin is linked to the quality and the taste].
Louis picks another bottle with a label (text-style: "italic")["blends of olive oils of European origins”].
(click:"blends of olive oils of European origins")[When the oil is made of olives from different countries, the label must indicates that. As well as if the olives are from outside teh EU.]
