because it's night time
if nothing sticks to teflon, how does teflon stick to pans
ALSO:: just a little fyi:
why are cotton swabs called Q- tips
What does the "Q" in Q-tips stand for?
Believe it or not, the "Q" is supposed to stand for "quality." As in "quality tips." At least that's what it says in the History section on the Q-tips web site, www.qtips.com. Because this company-line explanation, lame as it is, sounds less than convincing, even to someone as naïve as myself, a little further explanation might be in order.
The product we now know as the Q-tip started in 1923, when its inventor, Leo Gersenzang, first saw his wife sticking wads of cotton to the ends of toothpicks, then stuffing them in their baby's ears, fingers, toes, and other crevices for cleaning. Understandably concerned for his baby's health -- the swabs were just hanging on the sharp end of a toothpick, after all -- Leo decided that a ready-to-use cotton swab might be just the kind of product new mothers would want. So later that year, he founded the Gerstenzang Infant Novelty Co., specializing in baby care accessories.
