My first thought, too. But...little blue threads? Also, I don't know why I've never seen them before. The static electricity of the styrofoam causes it to form little doodles? I don't know, but it happens every time. I wish all of you would go and pour some little packets of salt into the bottom of a dry styrofoam cup (like a little coffee cup) and tell me what you see.

I can't find any styrofoam cups but I found a small plate and poured salt on it and nothing happened. I'm probably the victim of some sort of joke.

Flint · 12-04-2006, 04:08 PM

har har I'm fuckin' serious, y'all!

Where's Mr Wizard when you need him? I even googled this and found nothing.

So, how come nothing happened when I used a styrofoam plate?

Flint · 12-04-2006, 04:11 PM

you tell me?

LabRat · 12-04-2006, 04:14 PM

Try this with salt out of your home shaker, Flint. Same result, beats me. No threads, I wouldn't be sprinklin' no more of those little packets on my fries anymore...do you pee green?

BTW, salt belongs on the rim, silly.

Actually I don't consume it. In fact, I never add extra salt to my food. In this case, I am at work, I get some kind of food stuck in my teeth, and I go to the cafeteria, get a handful of salt packets, a little cup, and I go in the bathroom and pour them in the cup and add hot water, and then I alternate flossing and swishing hot saltwater.

But before I add the water, I always see these little blue thingees in there, and I try to pick them out.

I'd examine the salt packet itself. I bet it's from the salt packet. Maybe ink from the label?

It's poop from blue roaches.
