You know, I'd like to make a "ship in a bottle" one day. I think it would require some pretty steady hands, but raising the sails in the bottle would be rewarding.
I LOVE the illustrations in this book... quite cute how all the tiny people demonstrate the making of bubblegum, etc...
I was hoping they would put the Caramilk secret in this book (Just how DO "they" get the caramel in the Caramilk bar??) Hmmmm.
I love the pictures too! I never thought that chewing gum was made like that. I'll be reminded of it for as long as I have teeth enough to chew it!
