What is it about wax...........

lsijohn · 03-20-2003, 03:12 PM

That smaller kids just can't resist the urge to try to sink their teeth into my beading wax?? :p

Bee's wax smells good enough to eat. My friend was teaching a class when a 10 year old boy grabbed some thread conditioner, that blue stuff, and ate the whole thing. We alsways wondered if he had an excessively smooth bowel movement after that.

Whoa! That's yucky. I'm glad my kids didn't like the taste of my wax, but they love to stick pins and needles in it.
They've even sewn thru it with a needle and thread, round and round.

My littlest guy likes to try to bite into my wax. If I turn just for a second, he's got the wax and there are a bunch of little chomp marks in the wax! :p

Maybe it's a throw back to about 35 or so years, when we could buy those little drinks that came in a wax bottle that we could chew afterwards. Or maybe those bright red, waxy lips you could play with, then chew the flavored wax?!?!?!

I used to have to hide my beading wax because my cats and dogs would love to get a hold of the unprocessed bees wax (it's darker and smells more like honey) cake and just eat it all up.

good thinking twd bear!! My wax smells just like honey cause it comes from a local beehive and is melted down into little bars.. My kid leaves it alone..it's ME that can't keep my teeth off of it LOL!!! I was one of those kids who would bite, poke, sew , stick things into and draw with mom's beeswax...hehehe...

ingrambead · 03-21-2003, 04:36 AM

I get bee's wax from the local honey producers. Its all cleaned and I melt it and pour it into ice cube trays or mini muffin tins. That way we always have a clean, portable pices of wax.

When I work on big projects I often get yellowed fingers like a heavy smoker and I don't even smoke. Its from the wax.

MissGolightly · 03-21-2003, 02:07 PM

I miss those waxed bottles with flavor in it. :Chatter

I have to hide my wax from the dogs. I left one out once and woke up to pieces of chewed wax all over the floor. It's that fresh stuff they like the best.

Nothng strange about eating Bees' wax. Afterall is it what the Bees' use to make their combes, etc.

In fact Honeycomb has been a favorite food of many cultures inlcuding Native America. I can remember when every jar of Honey had as least some Comb in it. Now only a few producers of Honey put any comb in the jar.

Just make sure the wax is clean and has not been processed with any chemicals or other stuff.

Hey you can still buy those wax bottles with flavored liquid inside. I can find them at the quick trip and sometimes at the grocerystore. As a matter of fact I was feeling nostalgic awhile back and bought me a bag of them. Good stuff!!:Chatter

eagleclan22 · 03-28-2003, 02:42 PM

Havent seen those things around in a while, I miis em too

lsijohn · 03-28-2003, 03:11 PM

That is soooo funny:Chatter

I can't even remember the last time I seen those, either!!:)

Blackbear · 03-28-2003, 10:25 PM

My favorite were the ones that looked like coke bottles and were cola flavored...like I could'nt just buy a soda LOL

Niijii'sMom · 03-29-2003, 12:30 AM

Jezze you guys!
Claires sells them.
You know the mall store with all the cute necklaces and earings.
Claires sells a lot of "old" candy. Not OLD old, but like nastolgic stuff.

There is also a place in Grand Rapids MI that sells the same kind of thing only they arent little bottle shapes they are little tubes with falvor in them. I think its a Chain Store too, but its called Horocks or something like that. Its kinda of a flower/ grocer/ Craft store. kinda interesting.
