365: Red; Eeeuuuuwwww! Gross!

China towns in almost any city are hosts to all sorts of weird and wonderful things. My daughter managed to find one of the weirder of those things; a product called Baby Feet. Definitely not available at your local pharmacy, but China Town? No problem. 

The goal is to achieve smooth, soft foot skin. The method is to soak the feet in an acid bath. It smells lovely and the little foot-shaped bags, into which the solution is poured, are cute and pink, and not at all dangerous-looking. Soak for 90 minutes and rinse.... nothing... no evidence of efficacy. 

However, three or four days later, layers of skin peel off in sheets! So. Gross. But fascinating!

If you're someone who likes to pick and peel, this stuff is the greatest thing ever! My spouse was grossed out beyond belief.
