We’ve worked our contacts to let the production people know that we’re ready to provide any assistance they might need. Our message was along the lines of: “You’re making a movie about an imminent toxic spill, we have the world’s largest selection of products for managing liquid messes. If you need anything, give us a squeal!”
I feel sorry for his girlfriend. I feel a little better if I picture his specially-purchased bottle of bacon-scented perfume tipping over and everything running out, lost forever except for delicious fumes that don’t last too long.
This is a good time to mention that we’ve taken calls here in New Pig Tech about shipping perfume. We’ve had customers who need an absorbent for the master cartons. We recommend PIG® BubbleZorb® Absorbent Mat (which has cushioning bubbles) in rolls or pads, or PIG® Universal Absorbent Mat. In case there’s a spill, the Mats will save the day.
Nowadays, everybody has a mascot. New Pig has Sparky, and the Little Fiber Guy is a wanna-be. The Phillies have the Fanatic. And the Health Partners health clinic in the Twin Cities have Petey. Petey P. Cup to be precise.
Now, being an FOS (friend of Sparky), I understand the need for people to identify with a lovable, personable character, a face to go with the brand. I also understand that a health clinic doesn’t have a whole lot of options.
So out of necessity, Petey was born. I must admit, he is popular. He has his own Facebook page with over a 1,000 fans! Not bad for a plastic waste container.
Well, maybe the clinic was short on ideas, but people are buzzing about Petey. He’s on Youtube.
How can someone with the flu infect someone else?
Infected people may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 7 or more days after becoming sick. That means that you may be able to pass on the flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick.

Name change?
There are signs that the U.S. government will now refer to “H1N1 flu: rather than “swine flu,” to discourage the false idea that the virus can be caught by eating pork.
What are the signs and symptoms of swine flu in people?
The symptoms of swine flu in people are similar to the symptoms of regular human flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people have reported diarrhea and vomiting associated with swine flu. In the past, severe illness (pneumonia and respiratory failure) and deaths have been reported with swine flu infection in people. Like seasonal flu, swine flu may cause a worsening of underlying chronic medical conditions.
