Not-So-Foregone Conclusions

Who needs Hints from Heloise when elementary school science fairs exist? In all their tri-fold, corrugated glory, there's no more entertaining, reliable source for scientifically tested tips in abundance.

Tap water, here we come...
Also revealed: Viva and Bounty are the most absorbent options. Frozen candles burn no slower than room temperature. Dogs prefer meat-flavored snacks to vegetable or fruit.

Keeping my hopes up, along with "Everybody"...
...and that apple juice has more sugar than soda.
[FYI: The clever lad who conducted that particular pop-focused experiment justifiably requested soda for breakfast the following day in light of his discovery.]

PS - Apologies to all who kept getting "kicked off" by Internet Explorer. Apparently, the "Follower" widget is causing mayhem all over Blogger. Deleted the widget, defeated the problem.
