We sent samples to silverorange Stuff Website for a product review and they responded with this photo of their in-progress, rigorous testing process. We got a good laugh from that unexpected use.

The Insider, the P-I business staff’s weekly compendium of quips, quotes, observations, asides, tidbits, weird facts and gossip, picked up our news release today and ran it with the headline, “Beyond Potato Chips.”

New customers, including a weapons-containment firm, a furniture maker, and a chemical company, continue to put Clip-n-Seals to unexpected use. We write about custom Clip-n-Seals and the new markets they represent in a press release sent out today. We don’t write many press releases, one so far, but thought this story may appeal to a broader audience. The headline is, “Weapons disposal firm uses Clip-n-Seal food storage device to contain hazardous material.”

While our product is typically used to keep food fresh, we continue to learn from our customers that it can also be much more than a fresh-chip thing.

It should be noted, that while we love our industrial customers we'd much prefer a world where weapons disposal wasn't necessary.

Unfortunately, that's not the world we live in - at least, not yet. In the interim, we're glad that our invention can help in the containment of these dangerous materials.

Rick Bruner posts a great product review on his blog today and states that, “Your cookies and cat food will thank you for it.” Thanks and we agree. Rick was one of the blogstakes winners.

We received notice from the USPTO that Clip-n-Seal^® has been approved as a registered trademark. Over the weekend, little, circle-rs have been sprinkled throughout the site.

The site has been updated with new comments and unexpected uses.

The last wave of shipments from last week should be arriving and we're pleased that more customers than ever will have fresher food. Later this week, we'll post all of the comments we've been receiving and a few more unexpected uses.
