One of your alert readers asks “Is it bio-degradable? Is it poisonous? Is there any kind of heavy metals in it? And what about the propellant? Is it bad to inhale? Bad for the environment?” Which, after I catch my breath from reading that litany of horrors, leads me to withdraw my nomination of talcum powder as a cheap, handy, harmless (not) household product. Your alert reader’s question reminded me that talcum powder IS toxic, if only mildly. But I stick by my flour idea and I LOVE Amy’s hole-in-bag idea. An old pillowcase filled w/ flour and with a little hole in one corner. You drag it along behind you creating swirls and swishes. Luddism forever-Death to shopping!

I’m sorry that I have nothing constructive to add…I just wanted to tell you that I haven’t laughed that hard in quite a while. You are really good at conveying the frustration that we have all felt at one time or another. Elizabeth

I’ve been looking for something like this myself…but wondered, what’s in it? Is it bio-degradable? Is it poisonous? Is there any kind of heavy metals in it? And what about the propellant? Is it bad to inhale? Bad for the environment?

A bag with a corner cut off, kind of like you do when you want to pipe icing onto a cake? (or so I’ve heard)
