Title: Peanut Smuggling
Post by: Thorin on November 29, 2007, 03:07:43 PM
My work is putting on a kids' Christmas party.  The organizer asked if there were any food allergies they should be concerned about.  I let them know a couple of my kids have a peanut allergy.  This resulted in an email sent to another person (that I was cc'd on) stating that there should be no peanuts or traces of peanuts, and then related a short tale about a child who went into anaphylactic shock from smelling peanuts.

This got me curious, and I decided to hit Google and look up "peanut smell".  However, I was using the Google searchbar built into Firefox, which has the list of suggested search terms pop up underneath.  When I got to "peanut sm", only three choices appeared: "peanut smuggler", "peanut smuggling", and "peanut smugglers".

Now, I tend to be curious about things I don't yet know.  So I clicked "peanut smuggling".  From the Google results (http://www.google.ca/search?q=peanut+smuggling&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a), I picked this site (http://www.rtsm.co.uk/peanuts/home.htm) to educate me on the act of Peanut Smuggling.  I dare you to click the links.  Probably safe for work, unless you go digging further in the site...
