They lay eggs in the crud inside drains. Killing these dumb (slow reflexed ;) bugs one at a time didn't seem to do the trick... read more »

They're made just north of San Francisco, so as an SF-dweller I can feel good about eating this local product, as opposed to most similar dishes that are made in Thailand... read more »
]]> www.sustainlane.com:r/8001 2008-03-18T20:32:44Z Review of B-5 Design Gel: Natural hair gel with great hold 5 stars I found this product on my search for a hair gel with minimal chemical ingredients, particularly nothing ending in -paraben or -cone. It is commonly sold in health food stores. I used to alternate between several hair styling products, but when I got this one it became my new favorite. It does a... read more »

They are great because they pack up into a teeny little packet to carry along with you, and then when you need to wash them they don't wrinkle up like some cheap cotton bags do. I am docking them one star for being made of nylon, not as ecofriendly as some other... read more »

I've never had this problem before. If you have any allergies, I suggest you don't use their products- at least the laundry detergent. Since I haven't used their other products I didn't want to give too low a rating... read more »

When I drank half a bottle of this stuff I was left unable to physically focus on a point for more than a second or 2, and I was at work. Not a good combo. This lasted for a couple of hours. When I wrote the company they had ZERO compassion for... read more »
