Where does Ann Bartow find all this stuff? The Disappearing Civil Liberties Mug is covered with the complete text of The Bill of Rights, but when filled with hot liquids, select rights vanish before your very eyes!

Our baby bottles are made from PES plastic, which gives them a natural golden color.

Should you see any tears, throw out the nipple and replace with new ones.

Yes. You can place Excalibur trays in the top tray of your dishwasher. They can also be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The flexible mesh (Polyscreen) sheets help protect the trays from heavy accumulation of residue from the foods you are drying. Those flexible inserts are easy to clean by soaking them for a few minutes in the sink, then rinsing with a quick spray from your sink sprayer. Their flexibility allows them to be placed in most kitchen sinks.
