Ralston Purina was one source of the famous 3' hard boiled egg. The big
feature was no shells and every slice looks like a perfect egg slice. Sold
in a tube for salad bars, easily sliced. They also sold wheat chex, rice
chex, and corn chex. They are also famous for selling monkey chow, whale
chow, shark chow, rat chow and the ever popular dog chow. I have a friend
who is/was the Ralston touring animal handler. She raises pigs in her
bathroom and shows them to grade school kids. I don't know if they can be
house trained. It could/would be "funny" to say that your roommate is a pig
and not be joking. Ralston used to own the St. Louis Blues hockey team and
the "Checkerdome".
Trivially yours
