‘Cellophane lets you see’
‘potato chips taste better in plastic’
They may also taste better if slathered in crude oil. I ain’t gonna try it tho.

‘The news is what we say it is’ -(allegedly) Dave, FOX News
Video, above, from the documentary The Corporation. Watch the complete film – in segments – on YouTube.
The evil robots we were expecting haven’t taken over the world – something more psychopathic has. And these psychopaths have all the constitutional rights any other ‘person’ in the United States is afforded.
I also saw The Green Zone this weekend. So I’m already in a mood.
Medicinal cure all salt, from Alviso
‘The All-Salt process harvests two popular commodities, sea salt and recycled pharmaceuticals from water treatment plants’
The town of Alviso is located at the bottom of San Francisco Bay. It’s home to a funky old restaurant called Vahl’s, the headquarters for TiVo and salt flats contaminated by pharmaceuticals that manage to survive treatment at the local sewage facility.
In theory, Alviso-harvested All-Salt should cure just about everything, since it contains ‘valuable drug compounds . . . from antibiotics to antidepressants,’ the building blocks of all the wonderful prescriptions we see advertised on tee vee each and every night.
Details here. Informational video below:
And
Should point out, other salts harvested in the South Bay – such as those sourced by Cargill – contain pretty much the same post-pharmaceutical ingredients as All-Salt.

Low-cal sodapop, from Portland
It’s hard to find a good diet soda that doesn’t taste horrible.
But the hand-crafted artists at Thomas Kemper have kinda figured it out. Mostly adding honey to the not-quite-sugar sucralose does the trick. Mostly. The result has some calories, but no where near what one finds in a real soda. And it actually tastes a lot like a real soda. A lot.
Unfortunately, the low-cal Black Cherry (above) is no more. But their Root Beer still wows.
One more Lollipop
This one has a space theme.
