OMG Bev you have missed your calling as a classic Madison Ave. marketeer! Ugh!

Just out of curiosity was one of those long latin sounding ingredients words actually the same as modern 3M super glue?

Tetrasodium etidronate. That can't be good.

Also when these ephemeral ingredients quietly go away only to be replaced by some other impossibly concocted word in latin or chem speak, and for maybe a couple of months no one on planet earth notices this change, then, you just know something was discovered about the last ingredient that went horribly wrong and that that ingredient was spirited off the ingredients list as maybe it started extra new things growing strangely all over our bodies. "Oh, WTF is that?" or "Hey! my navel base is growing something that looks like a wild turnip!", and so on.

So good.

What movie is the cover art from again? I know I've seen it.

Marathon Man. I love the “Is it safe?” scene.

Yes! I wanted to say Parallax View but knew that wasn't right. Marathon Man is a great film. They really don't make them like they used to.

I was thinking that the other day. There are no films anymore. There are only live-action comic books.
