No, that's not a weird phonetic spelling of "internet" :o)

I was at the local Whole Foods store earlier. I'd gone there for bread. It suddenly occurred to me while I was there that I should pick up some teabags as well. I was wrong - I got back and discovered a nearly-full box. But I'm glad I made the mistake.

For, whilst I was browsing the shelves for tea, I saw a strange-looking thing pictured on the side of a box. A neti pot, according to the label.

A nasal cleanser.

With a picture illustrating its use on the side of the box.

The knowledge that I was living in a country inhabited by people willing to pay sixteen bucks (plus another couple for the neti salt) for a small ceramic watering can that they use to pour salt water down their nose brightened up my day considerably. I was grinning the whole way home.
