Onken Mousse Mystery

[Street Preacher]

I sat down to eat a mousse made by Onken and on the bottom was a little silver sticker that said "pull me!".Now naturally I did as i was told and pulled it off thinking it was some sort of competition but there was nothing underneath.

So I started to eat it when I noticed that it was dripping out of the pot and onto my jeans.

Now there might be a simple explanation as to why there was a hole in the bottom of the mousse pot but I can't think of one.

Was it a disgruntled employee who thought he'd do something funny on his last day at the Onken factory or something more sinister?

Onken Mousse's are actually made from baby Moose bums and the silver thing just covers the bum hole. Unlucky dude, not only did you eat poo but you got it on your jeans.

[Street Preacher]

Well I guess the covering for baby moose bum holes is as good an explanation as any I suppose.

Now does anybody know how to get baby moose shit out of denim?

[The-Sir]

Moose piss?

Im not sure but make sure you dont stare at one from a plane or the Canadian Mounties will arest you.

Should have been on my 'I've always wondered' thread but the answer is you are supposed to take the lid off the top, carefully place a small plate/saucer on top and turn it upside down. The little sticker should then be removed so that the vacuum or capillary action or something like that causes it to cling to the pot is counteracted thus having a nicely moulded desert on your plate

Genius that Remmie.

 

Just like to point out that its not really capillary action but basically the continuity eqn (based on conservation of mass). For the fluid to move out, air must take up the space left behind much like how if you fill a straw up with fluid and hold your finger over one end, it won't flow out of the other end.

Onken must think very highly of its customer's!

[Stouffer]

Do Onken still have those mousses that come in little lego type pots?
