Do these have any nutritional value, i.e. egg white protein perhaps?

Marshmallows in cereal. fabric softener on cloths. What other strange and possibly wonderful cultural weirdness will I find tomorrow?

Well thank you for the interesting posts, must go sleep in my unscented, line-dried sheets so I can wake up and have vegemite..

Or, dry things on the line. Fresh air and sunshine, they're free... no static electricity either. Once that's out of the way, fabric softener is just bizarre; either the fabric is soft or it isn't. No need to go out and buy impregnated disposable bits of cloth in a box. More stuff, it's endless...one unnecessary product generating a perceived need for another, and another...

These strike me as one of those products where the demand was created by advertising. And now a new insecurity: Do you suffer from embarrassing dusty skirting boards? Down on your hands and knees to coat them with fabric softener! After enough of it has built up to cause yellowing or mould, or the fear thereof, just go out and buy the fabric softener remover, in handy impregnated sheets!

That'll keep you busy all right. How about just using a duster on a telescoping stick? As long as the boards are clean to start with, you don't even have to bend over to dust them, just stroll past and wiggle your wrist... works for architraves, tops of doors, picture rails, easy as. Shake it out or rinse it when you're done and hang it up for next time, no rubbish, no running out to buy refills.
