Ah, an opportunity to segue into something that has entertained me for a
few days now:

A colleague showed me a label a few days ago, expecting, quite correctly,
that I would find it a bit of a wonderment.

It is for a product much beloved of the natural foods and cosmetics
enthusiasts, made by a manufacturer much admired in such circles. It's
a natural mouthwash, and has a list of ingredients tabulated like so:

Ingredient          Purpose                    Source
.
.
Poloxamer 335   Dispersion of flavor oils     Natural gas
.
.

Since I think much of this enthusiasm is a mite overdone, and the product
appears to be basically sensible in its context, I won't name it.

And this isn't just entertaining. There's a business opportunity for a
labeling type like me.
