Public Service Announcement

Did you know that prunes are "full of natural sugar and vitamins that act as skin soothers - especially well suited for stressed or sensitive skin?" This is according to Janet Cox at the Dole Nutrition Institute, which I'm sure is an excellent source as Dole has an entirely objective, unbiased opinion about prunes since they don't, you know, sell them or anything.

Did you also know that in addition to being excellent for the skin, prunes make this great noise when you spit them out of your mouth? And they make fantastic shampoo and furniture paint as well!

Thank goodness we have Connor to enlighten us on these matters. In these tough economic times, it's important to get as much out of our resources as possible, and he's determined to find as many uses for prunes as he can. As long as those uses don't involve actually eating them. Because that would be gross.
