Yet UK food experts say the image is a con. The drink is only 5 percent fruit juice--the rest is sugar, water, and additives." A sampling includes liquid latex applied to the skin that dries within minutes, a halved potato strapped to the knee overnight to cause swelling--water inside human cells moves toward the potato--so that members of the Israeli Defense Force can get a few days sick leave, and the Prayer Sprayer house deodorant that works best when followed up by saying a prayer printed on the can. Produced under the direction of Oliviero Toscani, then design editor for Colors magazine. No index. c. Book News Inc.
