For my birthday in December I got some Badedas.
Its a lurid green bubble bath gel made from chestnuts and smells of pine forests.
Wonderful stuff!
The bright green colour does call to mind toxic waste though.
As it happens I was discussing the sweet Toxic Waste with a youngster last month. he told me that there was nothing sourer in the world and that it could actually melt your tongue!
It is Hazardously Sour Candy after all! Do you know it?
A possible prop for sci-fi B movies and model dioramas, I'll leave the sweet Waste alone and stick to bathing in my own green Badedas slime!
I love the way it almost boasts that it has 'Artificial Flavors'. Even if it is the American spelling.
ReplyDeleteNot to be messed with Mish!
ReplyDeleteToxic Waste drums are so iconic, what a way to store deadly poison! My favorite Toxic Waste drum scene in a movie is in The Horror of Party Beach, filmed in 1963 in Stamford Connecticut, just a stone's throw away from where I would soon be living. A garbage scow tosses some radioactive waste in a big metal drum into Long Island Sound, and as soon as it hits bottom, the cork pops off the top and oozes out radioactive slime, and pretty soon... The Horror of Party Beach! You can't get much simpler than that!
ReplyDeleteNever seen it alas Zigg but as a kid I did have the comic photo story book/ magazine of Party Beach. I may still have it. A film I gotta see so thanks for the reminder!
