    As an outsider to the scientific community, I wanted to know more about whatever the heck Parafilm is. I’ve definitely been educated 😆

    I recently saw the THE as an abbreviation. Yes, THE. Terrible to read but made for funny sentences.

      My mom used to work for a company whose acronym was ASS. Also her boss was cheap and didn’t want to pay for a sign that had the full name.

      Yeap.

    There was an empty box of these in my childhood home until my parents moved in the mid-00s.

      South park had an episode about a guy who advocated to give people aides to help them with getting fit and organize their life. Except it sounded like the dude went around saying he wants to give aids to children

        That guy was Jared, the Subway spokesperson. That episode aged poorly, or really presciently, depending on your perspective.
