Breaching The Web

I’ve noticed references to Fresca, by name and by sight on two television shows lately: Veronica Mars and The Daily Show. Veronica Mars is no surprise, because that show is widely known as a product placement whore — but what about The Daily Show? Do you think that is a paid placement? In light of the VM sighting, I’m finding Stewart’s gracious offering of Fresca to George Tenet suspicious. Maybe this has been going on for a long time and I never noticed, but I find it disappointing nonetheless.

This may already be known to my readers who’ve done any backpacking (I know there’s at least one of you), but for everyone else, I present: How to make condiment packs out of drinking straws.

I can see many applications of this: condiments in lunch boxes, packing make up for travel, storing beads, etc.
