Tuesday, May 06, 2003 Eww. Angel Snot. I'd heard of it, but I didn't expect the product description to be so, well, earnest:
Heaven Scent In our busy world it's easy to forget that miracles really do happen. With its lovely scent and comforting texture, Angel Snot is a heavenly reminder of the magic at work in our everyday lives. We say "Bless You" when someone sneezes because medieval folk believed a sneeze was the soul escaping the body. Clearly, there is a strong connection between nasal mucus and the miraculous power of heaven's messengers. This beautiful jasmine-scented pearlescent substance is both sacred and fun to play with. Squish it, bounce it, stretch it -- just don't wipe it on the back of the couch. You get two packages of Angel Snot, each with approximately 1 ounce of precious fluid in a plastic egg.
And I bet if you look at it while thinking about rocks or elements or angels, you can sell it as an essence.
