A small but bright intense pink bottle, much like a bottle of nail polish with a brush on the inside of lid, found in your desk drawer and used on typeface on either electric typewriters or manual typewriters? Bright highlighting fluid (or possibly ink remover) made of some kind of solvent that stank like nail polish remover? Circa 1970s?
I'm doing research for a scene in my novel and that bright pink bottle is in the story but for the life of me I can't remember what the stuff was called or who made it.
Help please! Thanks!
It definitely wasn't white-out. This was something other than white-out. It might have been highlighter fluid before they figured out how to put it in marker form like a jiffy marker.
I think it was made by Dixon, the same company that made Taperaser, which was like white-out in a carbon paper form that you stuck between the keys and the typed paged and retyped over. Semi-clear BRIGHT pink bottle, possible containing BRIGHT pink fluid? Still not sold on the white-out answers unless someone can find me a pic of the BRIGHT pink 1970s white-out bottle because that would help a LOT.
Or maybe Avery Dennison?
Answer
Yep, it was Wite-Out, a BIC product (the BIC folks make all the pens and stuff.) A very useful product. It had several different labels, because they designed it for several uses as technology required. They had a different version for copier toner.
One day, the Facilities guys came through and removed all of the bottles from everyone's desk. It was considered a hazardous waste product that would lead to lawsuits. It was replaced with the slower-drying water-based version.

Low Carb blown with white flour?
Bethany
I've been following Neris and India's Idiot Proof Diet for two weeks and have lost 8lbs and 3 inches off my stomach. I am thrilled with the results, but I cheated last night. I was making a cheese sauce for veggies and used about a tablespoon of flour to thicken it.
Have I derailed the diet?? How many carbs are in that LITTLE bit of flour anyway?
Answer
Apparently, there are 95.39 gm of carbohydrates in 1 cup of flour.
On the assumption that there are 16 tablespoons in 1 cup (liquid measure), that would make 5.96 gm of carbohydrates in 1 T. On the better assumption that there are 12 tablespoons in 1 cup (dry measure), that makes 7.9 gm/T.
Since its inception in the 1970s as the "Drinking Man's Diet", the carbohydrate-limited diet has been notorious as a VERY BAD approach to planning ones' eating habits because:
- the most important part of a healthy diet is complex carbohydrates
- risk of malnutrition because important nutritional elements are removed from the diet (e.g. 'fibre' is essential in avoiding constipation, in the short term, and colorectal cancer in the long term. Do you know the phrase "colostomy bag"?)
- because it works by ****ing up your metabolism, any weight lost returns almost immediately when a 'normal' diet is resumed
- temporary weight loss/gain leads to permanent wrinkles and stretch marks.
- permanent kidney damage/ketosis (symptom: your breath smells like nail polish remover). Do you like the idea of being slim - - and on a dialysis machine, or trying to find a donor kidney?
PLEASE, there are many more healthful ways of keeping oneself slim. There are NO QUICK TRICKS 'DIETS' that work more effectively than eating moderate quantities of a variety of foods, and regular physical activity.
