Corn Packing Peanuts

So, we had a ton of Macy's gift cards from our wedding that we never used, so last Saturday, I ordered some cookie pans, and two aluminum pie pans (aluminum is the secret to good pies, but I have never owned any of my own), and they arrived yesterday. This morning, when I unpacked them, there was a card in there. Among other things, I noted that it said this:

"We would like you to know two key benefits about this new material:
1. It's 100% biodegradable - Made from pure corn and potato starch, the material breaks down in water within nine minutes. It won't harm the earth or animals."

Cool, I thought - cause I like the earth okay... BUT on the side bar, it says:

"There are easy options for disposing of this natural material:
-Dissolve in water and pour in the garden, yard, sink or toilet.

HOLY SHIT. Maybe this isn't news to anyone else, but it was to me. I ran over to the kitchen sink with a GIGANTIC box of packing nuts, poured them in, and turned on the faucet. NINE MINUTES? Try fucking thirty-five seconds, dude. Gone. Totally.

So awesome.
