Sun Chips, owned by Frito Lay, announced plans to replace their packaging with a fully compostable bag by Earth Day 2010. Below is a link to the commercial, as well as their website and an article on Treehugger.

I wonder why Frito Lay wouldn’t have made a bigger statement by replacing ALL of their brands’ packaging with this new bag. Hopefully they plan to do so eventually.

During a recent trip to San Diego I was introduced to what is probably the first innovation in ice since the icemaker. It’s called Glace. It’s a sphere of crystal clear, zero impurity ice, machined out of the same blocks used to make high end ice sculptures. Each sphere comes in it’s own vacuum sealed pouch and if you leave it out of the freezer for 2 minutes to cure and then drop in your Jameson’s and it disappears. It keeps your drink cold without excessive melting . Although the whole concept of luxury ice seems excessive, it was a unique drinking experience.
