Lemonheads Inferior or Cheaper
Category: food
Lemonheads are still only $.25 after the 20 some odd years since my childhood.

Does anyone else think its weird. Well, Holly, my smartest frined just figured out the missing link in this mystery. Remember, as a kid how lemonheads were made out beeswax and it was really weird that you were eating and thinking that bugs made it.

I am sure some of my friends thought about that. At least my brother, right? Anyways, They are now, no longer made of beewax but carnuba wax. Sound like a real price dropper. But what is carnuba wax afterall?


Well the google #1 search return for it is this:

••Carnuba Wax in Automotive Care•• Compare Prices & ...

Car Wash Chemicals: Liquid Carnuba Wax (1 gal)

Here is the actual definition from Soap and More:

The exudate from the leaves of the Brazilian wax palm treet used as a texturizer in foundation makeup, mascara, cream rouge, lipsticks and deadorant sticks.

Here is the official site of Ferrara Pan, the makers of Lemonheads and other tasty cleaning product substitutes.



Notice they changed many of the names of the products. What used to be Johnny Appleseeds are now Appleheads, and Alexander the Grape is now Grapehead. Maybe Michael will know how longs that has been affect, I sense a buyout. He is by the way the specialist on old Candy items and the only owner a an original Milk container gum pack from Fay's ->Eckert.

What does this mean for food? Is it, that for a good price, we will even feed our children cleaning products ingredients! I hope America has not come to this. Maybe we should just start feeding them pertoleum. It would be great for Haliburton.

Visiting UB
Well I am off to Ub for some unfinished business. Then I am going to spend the evening chillaxing (j. Ho 1998) and visiting Maria.

I ending up making a seahorse. I like it cause the tail curls on demand, as a good seahorse tail should.

Here is the seahorse Daddy teaching the baby seahorses to smoke cigarettes. This should not be mistaken for a pro-smoking advertsiement for children. It is only intended for seahorses. Which, of course cannot smoke underwater anyways. Unless maybe they are smoking those new eclipse cigarette, because I would bet money they could smoke underwater.

Check out eclipses cigarette, they are really scary.

Working
This is part of what I am working on. I am trying to make avatars for a virtual reality program. In the program the user only has control over the hands and the head. The mask/face rotates are the neck. The hands rotate from the shoulder.

I actually had to scan in my clothes for this one.

I am at jim's steakout thinking how cool it is that I am in contact with rachel again via the site and that I can contact the site via the sidekick. Its like living with psychic powers. I hope everyone else has as much fun with the site as I do. Here is a pic of Tery at Jim's Steakout, one of our elmwood favorites. Well not really but it was closer than Pano's, truly one of our elmwood favorites. It took the pic with the sidekick Camera, which seems to do really well in bright light, like the circus lighting at Jim's.

Maybe we should do an audio based, aerial projected restaurant review page. What do you'l think. I think its time for more people to join. Invite your friends.
