Todd, I JUST saw a show about them making Cheeto's on the Food Channel...they basically airbrush them...the beige/yellowish cheeto puffs go by on a conveyer belt and are sprayed. Yes, I can't imagine that stuff is good for you - lots of dyes and artificial flavors. Ranks right up there with Kraft Mac & Cheese which my daughter eats all the time. Drives my husband the chef crazy. :-)
There's a very cool website called How Stuff Works...www.howstuffworks.com...you can find pretty much anything on there. It's fun to mess around on and read stuff if you have time to kill.

First you need a burning desire to become a sign artist. That's the easy part.
Learning the trade? That's the hard part. What do you do when you have a family and can't leave for Sign School? And where are the dozens of REAL sign shops that are willing to take in an apprentice that will eventually become a competitor?
What to do is to go to Letterhead meets, subscribe to all the magazines, study, experiment, practice, and learn to spell. Eventually you'll get there.

Back to the point...I've always wondered how they get the creme filling in Goetze's Caramel Creams. It's a fairly regional confection. And how do they make Pringles? Love...Jill

Pringles are actually made from MASHED potatoes that are molded like that!

Here's one you may(or may not) want to know:
Curly hair: What makes it curly?
Well, curly hair actually has flat shafts like a ribbon as opposed to the cylindrical shafts of a straight haired person. That goes especially for unmentioned regions of the anatomy.

Ray... We just called it a snot pipe. But I think that the anatomical term is Frenulum. Sounds kinda kinky. Love...Jill

Uh...Jilly...try googling frenulum. You might be surprised by what you find.
For the record the "snot pipe" is a philtrum.

Have ya heard the one about the fella that went to the doc with a problem.. His Penis was turning orange... The Doc asked him if he worked in some sort of chemical plant or something, he replied "No, I am retired, and I just sit around all day watching porno's and eating cheeto's"......
Now as far as Bran Flakes are concerned... They were a mistake ! C.w. Post was making his original cold cereal, Grape Nuts, and how he made them was by baking this wheet stuff in a loaf pan, and then crushing it up into grape seed size nugets... Wa La Grape Nuts..the FIRST cold Cereal... One day as he was mixing, he acidentally spilled a drop or two on top of his wood fired oven and it crinkled up into a little flake...Wa-La Grape Nut Flakes the 2 cold cereal... and then him and his employee Kellogg got into an arguement and Kellog moved across the street and started his own cereal making business...
Just a td bit on Cereal History

Just before I fall asleep I'm laying in the middle of the bed and I'm in charge. When I wake up next morning I've either got my nose flattened against the wall on one side or I'm half out of the bed the other side. In either case my cat is fast asleep DEAD CENTRE of the bed. I weigh the best part of 15 stones, she weighs less than one stone. How do they do that?
