melatonin is pretty similar to melanin.  i'm not a chemist so i can't elaborate on my one sentence observation that might well be complete bullshit
melanin shields the nucleus of your skin cells from UV radiation... so the darker you are, the more protected you are from the sun.  to my knowledge, melatonin and melanin have nothing to do with one another... at least i don't recall melatonin being discussed along with melanin in my a&p class.

QuoteMelatonin is named for melanin, or skin pigment, and serotonin, a neurotransmitter found abundantly in the pineal gland. It was discovered by a Yale dermatologist who found that the extract from cow pineal glands lightened the skin of frogs. Melatonin later was identified as a hormone


well.  i guess it is bullshit after all

but wait ... i have an inside source at the Pentagon's Portland, Oregon branch (the Quadrangle) ... that says that melatonin and melanin are the main ingredient in a smoothie that the Grey aliens (see whitley strieber's bullshit) are particularly fond of.  which is the sole reason for their visiting earth and abducting idiots

This movie is believed to be an urban legend, but I saw it long ago in Dallas of all places.  This is only a  trailer.  Gleason plays an imprisoned mobster who borrows a stamp from his cellmate, a draft dodger.  The Ralph Cramden impression when the acid hits Gleason is, like, really Ralph Cramden on acid, man.  The joint Groucho Marx was smoking was unlikely his first.  The rest of the cast contains some surprising names.

Random q to throw in...
I usually listen to the art bell stream on my iPhone at night but for the last two nights I've just gotten the quicktime error "this video will not play." Has anyone else had trouble accessing it?

Vienetta Ice Cream. This product has been on my mind for over two years now, with no release. No manifestation, no presence. Just an empty longing for the texture, flavor- and perhaps also for the simpler times during which I regularly enjoyed it.


I was more or less wandering through the grocery store a few years ago, when suddenly it popped into my mind. The crispy delicate and flaky layers of chocolate, draped between elegantly structured and folded ice cream, forming such a dramatic combination of different textures that one could more easily compare it to a layered cake.


I made my way to the ice cream/frozen dessert section thinking to myself "WTF was that stuff called again?!"


I kept wanting to say some variant of "velveeta" in my head. (ugh)


Of course, it wasn't there. I went online and found myself at the website of one Unilever corp. They make everything. As of about 10 years ago or so, they no longer ship vienetta out to most of north america. Apparently, if you live in the UK you can still get it.


I still find myself browsing for it in the market from time to time regardless.


Breyers Viennetta commercial


and if reliving the experience of viewing that commercial was not enough torture for me, I also came across footage of it being produced:


How Vienetta Is Made


This was popular during Art Bell's mid 90s heyday. I wish that I could go to the store in the evening, pick up some vienetta, come in out of the rain, put on the new X-files, Sightings, or Unsolved Mysteries episode, and then after TV got shitty, turn on Art Bell. We never appreciate the good times until they are gone!


well I just can't believe that nobody else wants to talk about this shit, I loved it!

By God, you're right.  This sounds like heaven.

I do remember Vienetta- remember one incident where there were 4 of us and 4 boxes of Vienetta.  In a Mary Jane fueled moment, we had a contest for whoever ate the whole box first won something stupid,  it was a half eaten box of Honey Smacks best I recall.

I had forgotten all about that until I read this thread!

That's called maintaining the proper ratio of Vienetta to people.


Sadly, I have never done this...

dosen't it though?!




you guys I am seriously one tick away from jumping in my car right now and driving across town to the grocery outlet where my portland source tells me I can find a box of it...

my ice cream experiences were pretty ho hum prior to the late 90's.  i'm from Ohio and more than one flavor at a time just simply wasn't done.  that was something European socialists and communists did.  this might explain why this Vienetta ice cream is no longer available in the US.  it seems like it would be pretty kick ass however

Maybe it was Chuck Norris calling in.


Add all of Australia to the list of people with safe access to Vienetta.

I am going to talk to my activist friends about an offshoot of the ASA


Americans for Safe Access to Vienetta




I do plan on driving to the grocer outlet and inquiring on the status re:vienetta. TODAY.

sorry... on the positive side, I don't think you can buy any!

Don't think it is available in the Great White North anymore either.  Sure do miss the stuff.  The access to high calorie, hard core foodie stuff is unbelievable here in Paris, though.  If France and Amsterdam ever teamed up, Europe would be over run by 500 pound Bob Marley fans...

Guild-

Here's a thought. I was talking to a friend of mine today about nothing in particular and the subject of Vienetta came up. She said you can still get it in Japan. Perhaps find a place in Japan that would sell you some and have it packed in dry ice & shipped. Might take care of your fix!

yeah, that might have to be the way it goes down because I just came back from the grocery outlet and they don;t have SHIT in the way of vienetta.

good thing the prize wasn't a 1/2 box of cap'n crunch or you'd have come down from your buzz with a mouthful of blood and your roof-mouth skin dangling in shreds.

Captain Crunch is a horrible product and proof that people can't take a hint.  if you eat something and it turns the inside of your face to hamburge, stop fucking eating it.  but still ... you have Captain Crunch.  lurking in the cereal aisle. waiting for his next victim

i read the other day that pepsico has decided to phase out the Cap'n Crunch cereal, poor sales and not very healthy were the main reasons.


Looks like the cap'n is going the way of the dodo bird, dinosaur, and vienetta.

b_dubb

you'll still be able to find Cap'n Crunch in the home improvement stores.  you can never have too many ways to remove old paint and varnish from old wooden furniture

i also read about some lady who's court case was dismissed after she tried to sue kellogg or whoever because crunchberries were not real berries and she thought that she was eating fruit for years.


she also tried to sue Froot Loops for not containing any fruit. or did I mean "Froot"
