Peanut butter in a squeeze tube....

[SoCalDem]

I went care package shopping today, and boy there are some neat-o products now.. I was sure I wanted to send peanut butter, but the jars weigh so much, and are bulky.. and there it was.. Like a giant tube of toothpaste..

Now if only they had a lightweight version of water:(

1. Could they use

water purifying equip? Just wondering.

edit: Yeah, the PB tubes are great. Wish Jif would get with it.

2. Actually, they do.

Regular water has a 2:1 hydrogen oxygen ratio. Then there's what chemists call "heavy water", or D3 and D4 which have a 3:1 and 4:1 ratio of hydrogen to oxygen making it slightly heavier per volume than regular water. So, in short, there is a lightweight version of water. The bad news is that it's the kind we use already.

3. I was going to market freeze-dried water

But then... Well... There was a little problem with the concept.

I DO love those PB in a tube things... My fave midnight snack!!! Right outta the tube!!!

4. I found applesauce in tubes, too.....

and I found Excederin tablets that are like rolaids....you just chew them without water.

5. I did too

Found dry pre-sweetened Gatorade and Burt's Bees makes a rosemary bar shampoo that is supposed to repel head lice.

Good news, my sis's bro-in-law will be back from Afghanistan this week! He let her know that phone cards/bug repellant are high on the request lists.

We can request free phone cards for the troops here -
