Say What?

The other day I stopped in the local grocery store for a few things. One of the items I was looking for was wood chips for my smoker. I can usually find them there.

When I found the wood chips I grabbed a couple of bags of Hickory Chips and one of Mesquite. I tossed them in the cart and went about my shopping.

It was only when I got home that I looked at the bags of wood chips and started laughing.

They were labeled as Organic Wood Chips. What is an organic wood chip? On the same note what would be an inorganic wood chip?

What's next? Free Range Wood Chips?

Vegan wood chips!

Hmm....shouldn't that be meat wood chips rather than vegetarian?

Organic Wood Chips: What happened to the old movie-house organ.

Inorganic Wood Chips: Petrified.

Stay tuned for: Certified no antibiotics and no animal testing wood chips.

Is that what they mean by having a "woody"?

It's called Greenwashing.

You would want your wood chips to come from a sustainably harvested forest and you would want their milling and shipping impact reduced. They clearly don't do that so they tell you their product is organic which is most likely true of their competitors, too.

I've seen pourable, liquid products that proudly proclaim on their packages that they are CFC free.

What does that mean?

Nothing.

CFC are propellants. Their most common commercial use is in aeorsol cans to propel the spray. It is a solvent but is never used that way in home cleaning products. You would have a very difficult time finding cfcs in a pourable, liquid product.

It's like when a hard candy procalims it is fat free. It's true but it's always true. If it had fat in it, it wouldn't be hard, would it? With hard candy, you would worry about the sugar content, wouldn't you?

CFCs are also blamed for holes in the ozone layer and have been banned in the USA for a few decades (and had actually stopped being used a few years before that).
