I grew up in the days of purple ketchup so I honestly can’t tell if this is real of if somebody put a label on some molybdenum grease or something.

    It's not real, in case you're actually wondering.

    Mmmmm ...antiseize...

    Antiseize on one side, and red bearing grease on the other.

    Completely random question: Do you have dab a bit of antiseize between a hub and rotor? I suppose any grease would work to reduce corrosion "sticking" the parts together, but I was always taught antiseize works best, for whatever reason.

    I always use antiseize between wheel hub and rotor hub. Its a grease with graphite powder or something right?

    When I was younger we often used to decorate cakes with these little silver balls, and I sometimes wonder what was in them that was so bad that they don't seem to make them any more...

    got me curious so i looked it up and they were called dragées apparently

    since 1906, U.S. regulations have prohibited the manufacture or sale of any food that uses any metal or mineral substance—including silver—as a food coloring, coating, or additive.[8] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration considers the silver and gold metallic-finish sugar dragées to be inedible, and they may be sold only when accompanied with a notice that they are to be used for decorative purposes only.[8] Almonds that have been coated the same way are not permitted at all.[8] Although metallic-finish dragées can be purchased in 49 U.S. states, they are no longer sold in California.[9]
