>* When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest? So you "squeeze" for freshness or softness. Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week? Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day they use a different color twist-tie. They are Monday - Blue, Tuesday - Green, Thursday - Red, Friday - White, Saturday - Yellow. So if today was Thursday, you would look for a red twist-tie - not a white, which is Friday's (almost a week old)! The colors run alphabetically by color: blue - green - red - white and yellow - Monday through Saturday. Very easy
>to remember. Check the grocery store yourself, and you'll see that the bread wrappers DO have different-colored twist ties and even the loaves with the plastic clips have different colors.

the scary thing about coca cola is that cops carry a large spray container of it in their trunks to clean up after nasty car wrecks. it dissolves blood and grease. its extremely acidic.

people put that in their bodies as well. that is very scary.

My Father told me about this around 1984. I tried it and it works better than anything on the market... wink2.gif
It's a great dried paint cleaner too.
