OT: New product news

At the gathering after Dead Bird Day dinner at a friend's house,
someone mentioned that an aquaintance was testing a new (unnamed)
consumer product that was basically pancake batter in an aerosol can.

"What, Pancake Whiz?"

There was a moment of utter silence, and then we all lost it.

Some products have a name that *will* be applied, whether the
manufacturer wants it or not.

I knew a guy who had throat cancer, and had to take in all his food through
a tube. Not to make light of his condition, but he would have loved this.

Dunno 'bout you, but I prefer my pancakes fried, not as batter. And
the can requires refrigeration.

I still say it should be called Pancake Whiz.

How does it work as a tire inflater/sealant? Do you have to cook the
tire after inflation for best results?

Just be sure to use the unleavened version to avoid accidental blow off
on hot summer days.

Actually, that's a great idea! As long as they use the recipe from
IHOP those tires would be as hard as rubber and about as flexible.

Ah, yes, IHOP, the only place where I have encountered a menu on which
the majority of the items sampled tasted like pancakes...with the
exception of the pancakes, which had virtually no flavor at all.

I got a coupon for a free dinner at IHOP last year. It expired
unused. I'd rather have a Big Mac...which I loathe.

Yes, but it is a losing battle.
Whenever a chemist reminds somebody of this
he is gently reminded that he and his ilk
are the spawn of satan; responsible for all
those CHEMICALS that have turned our Earthly
paradise into toxic wasteland. Nevermind that
on a crisp cold evening I dare not go outside
lest all that natural wood smoke do its
220 grit sandpaper job on my throat, nose,
and trachea.

For future reference and to wow the hotties
organic means reduced carbon. For instance
CO2 is not an organic molecule, as the carbon
is oxidized. CH4 (methane) etc. are organic
molecules.
