Did you know that a foot powder once won the election for mayor of a town?

A bizarre incident involving a fictitious write-in candidacy occurred in the small town of Picoazá, Ecuador  in 1967. A company ran a series of campaign-themed advertisements for a foot powder called Pulvapies. Some of the slogans used included "Vote for any candidate, but if you want well-being and hygiene, vote for Pulvapies", and "For Mayor: Honorable Pulvapies." The foot powder Pulvapies ended up receiving the most votes in the election.

DYKT Dylan Thomas's last words were:

I've had eighteen straight whiskies, I think that's the record.

Back home, we call that warming up....

DYKT the first known contraceptive was crocodile dung, used by Egyptians in 2000 B.C.

Used how? Did they roll in it? 

[Pachyderm]

No idea. But I would imagine smearing yourself in reptile faeces would work.

"How about it, O Flower of the Nile, for I am feeling frisky. What's that you say, crocodile dung? So you smell of shit and are covered in fish bones? Never mind....."

Did you know that Eisberg/Iceberg is a popular name for girls in Brasil?

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Goes to prove that cold hearts can live in hot places.

_{(in truth all Brazilian women I've meet have been on the warmer side).}

maybe it's referring to the salad

Did you know I'm a member of SAVED?  That's the Society for the Abolition of Vegetables from the English Diet.  Admittedly, I'm the only member since the other one died.

Do you object to the abominations those vegetables are subjected to before consumption, are you inimical to vegetables or do you actually worship them and have therefore doctrinal objections to consume them since they are worthier than thou?

Go to any kindergarten and I'm certain you'll recruit more members than you'll ever need.

I'm sure there'd be more vegetarians if all meat was routinely boiled until nearly mush and consumed practically unseasoned.

Veggies are delicious if not treated as second-class foodstuffs. I heartily support the Vegetable Equal Rights to Yumminess! (VERY)

It's treated largely as a terrorist group by natives in England, who lean heavily on the MATV taste-suppresion method.

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Vegetables can be tasty, the problem is the craving for animal protein.

[Aggie]

Yes, but that's no reason to abolish veggies - the tastiest foods (IMHO) combine the two of them. It's hard, although not impossible, to get umami without some animal protein.

It's veggies as a standalone necessary evil that makes them unpopular.

Did they die of vegetables?
