Hi, I just saw this. All I could find when I looked is that some batches were mislabeled as to contents. Seems like an over-reaction by the stores that eliminated all their H.G., if that's all it was. All I know is, it's harder to find their ice cream. There's a drugstore chain that carries a few of their flavors, and I think that's all there is in town. Whole Foods dropped it, among others.

and spill the moderately poisonous mercury.
Mercury thermometers have largely been replaced by electronic digital thermometers,
or, more rarely, thermometers based on liquids other than mercury
(such as galinstan, coloured alcohols and heat-sensitive liquid crystals)."

The late '70s or so? Mom gave it to me. I haven't used it in years, I just haven't gotten rid of it.

I grew up in a house with lead paint and asbestos wrapped pipes, too, so I'm beginning to think I'm invincible.

Mom always said that you have to eat a peck of dirt before you die. She didn't tell me there'd be lead in it.

Young folks don't know the fun they missed.

Haha. There's a word for that:
"Geophagy"
