That's the answer for how to turn copy the green or blue that we call Verdigris. The advice is:
Soaking copper in white vinegar and salt will create a blue or green patina. Other ways of doing this are to bury the copper in sawdust or crushed potato chips soaked in white vinegar. The longer the copper is buried, the darker the patina becomes.
Should we bury it in vinegar potato chips then? Is that what the true value of vinegar potato chips is? This brings up the topic of the newly introduced Kraft Dinner. What will be its true value in a few years...
Can you imagine anything like this? No I can't - I had to look it up to know it was real. That is, really developed and really exists.
Kraft Dinner has announced a new hue to their traditional mac and cheese, an iconic pink, just in time for Valentine’s Day.The limited edition pink pasta will also come with a unique candy-taste, according to a release from Kraft Heinz, the creators of the concoction.
“Made with the iconic cheesy taste Canadians know and love, exclusive pink Candy KD features hints of sweet, sweet candy,” says the press release.
How has the colour been achieved? Are you ready? Beet and carrot.
What was last year's special introduction? Pumpkin Spice Mac and Cheese was introduced in September 2020. That one fell flat. But no worries, Kraft has given rise to many funny jokes:
Mom cooked up some mac and cheese and calls the kids," Come get your macaroni and cheese." To which my sister replies," I said I wanted mac and cheese, NO Caroni!"
My son sent me a recording of a song he wrote. I gave him a suggestion to improve it but he didn't like it. He said it was "cheesy" So I said, "Maybe if you worked on your Kraft a little harder you might get a single."
I was in the supermarket when I got a message on my phone telling me there were 24 singles in my area I think I'm going to delete the Kraft Cheese app
Here's my personal favourite submitted on National Cheese Day: "Sweet dreams are made of cheese, who am I do dis a brie? I cheddar the world and a Feta cheese. Everybody's looking for Stilton."
