One of CMOT Dibbler's enterprises?

Good grief - that's even sillier than the Origami Boulder site (which sold crumpled pieces of paper, with or without a haiku inside them)!

Dehydrated water? What do you add to it?

Perhaps I'll set up a website myself freshice.com retailing in fresh ice and none of that frozen stuff.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

I wonder if it's a subsidiary of Goliath...

Sarah, is that where you found Wilfred?

Maybe one of us would like to try out the "free sample' of dehydrated water available and then let us all know how you re-hydrate it? They don't give much technical info do they? LOL

Wilfred was a present from a friend, and I don't know where he found him! I've never seen another one like him, but I have heard unconfirmed reports of shelves full of Wilfred lookalikes in other parts of the country.

Must find that origami boulder site... it's such a hoot...

I asked them how you rehydrate it. The answer will be intersting to see.

It's in the FAQ section, which is well worth checking out - it's hilarious!

Thanks Sarah. Have now read the FAQ's and truly believe that the company are honest as the day is long and provide a valuable product!!

Reading that brings a new dimension to my understanding of flippancy and gratuitous sarcasm. :-)

I saw 'Invisible Man' action figures on sale once - it was just packaging. It was designed as a spoof - 'Suitable for children under 36 months - no small parts!' - and was very cleverly carried off.

'Invisible Man' action figures ! I want one. And if I point to a space on the mantlepiece and say there's one there, who can tell different ?
