plastic and helium

Today I learned that you can get a whole list of kitchen utensils on Froogle by searching for "melamine and plastic utensil." I would have expected the pet food disaster to have impacted sales, even if people are unlikely to eat their utensils.

Also, the price of helium has doubled in recent years, so most people who worry about such things are worried about helium balloons. Nerds like me just think that at some point dilution refrigerators will go the way of the dinosaur, so it makes you wonder what the superconductor nerds are going to do with themselves.
