The lift and cut technology presents a serious problem when it comes to a mitzva dioraisa. While I'm aware that one may possibly modify a model which is letatchila not good, I was wondering whether there are any contemporary sources that indicate which brands/models are fine. After a number of rabbis could not tell me a specific answer, I ran into a Chaim Berlin friend of mine who told me that all lechatchila kosher models to date are listed in the Rabbi Blumenkrantz Pesach digest. That was definitely helpful. The Buzz (a local Flatbush electronics joint) on Coney Island Ave. (between J &K) sells at least one of such models.Alannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783686265399505970.post-5450332416203375002008-06-22T13:59:00.000-04:002008-06-22T13:59:00.000-04:00It was about Bounty paper towels and was said by Rabbi Blumenkrantz and Rabbi Belsky of OU disagrees with him on that and says they're ok.<BR/>No one ever said anything about plastic.Moshehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01145237927656807738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783686265399505970.post-44729176525837596592008-06-22T13:51:00.000-04:002008-06-22T13:51:00.000-04:00Moshe: but there really is something to plastic being chometzdik. I heard about it once before, or maybe something to do with paper towels, that we used to get one brand, then they said you can't use it anymore because it has something in it. I don't remember the whole thing.<BR/><BR/>Good point how you write that they say its kosher l'peasach and good for year round. So they should already just have that type the whole year so you won't have to buy it special for Pesach. But then again people like to buy new stuff for Pesach, it puts them in the Pesach spirit. <BR/><BR/>FrumPunk: I disagree, I think kosher products have the best packaging. Especially the candy and nosh for the kids. I always think the kosher brands look better than the advertisements for the non kosher basics. Lets say deli if you look at their packaging it always just says the words and that is it, a lot of time the label looks so plain that you would think it was fake food like a toy. <BR/><BR/>MLevin: interesting explanation.The Babysitterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15792110478994916775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783686265399505970.post-47274589965835936262008-06-15T00:26:00.000-04:002008-06-15T00:26:00.000-04:00I didnt see any where it saying its non gebrukts.

(of course knowing frummies it could just be a ploy to get people to buy old products)<BR/><BR/>About dirt floor. I actually spoke to a person who lived on dirt floor back in the old country. According to her "Dirt" was made from a mixture of hay and horse dung. "Surprisingly, it didn't smell" her words to my show of disgust.mlevinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783686265399505970.post-79500864981421351432008-06-13T10:02:00.000-04:002008-06-13T10:02:00.000-04:00Just looked it up.<BR/>Heh, heh, he said kos.Moshehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01145237927656807738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783686265399505970.post-88840764079564361842008-06-13T09:59:00.000-04:002008-06-13T09:59:00.000-04:00Does anyone actually know what Kos (the cup company name) means in Arabic? :)Alannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783686265399505970.post-29380538929707241522008-06-13T00:02:00.000-04:002008-06-13T00:02:00.000-04:00I know that every time I look at a box of Tide I cant stop myself from thinking about doing a shiksas laundry.frumpunkhttp://frumpunk.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783686265399505970.post-67993260072917183282008-06-12T23:59:00.000-04:002008-06-12T23:59:00.000-04:00toucheMoshehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01145237927656807738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783686265399505970.post-64009558371592215502008-06-12T23:57:00.000-04:002008-06-12T23:57:00.000-04:00yes, but the ugly package may make them think about the beautiful shiksa they had seen on the subway!frumskeptichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02990363895869876238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783686265399505970.post-11627632466120546822008-06-12T23:56:00.000-04:002008-06-12T23:56:00.000-04:00A nicely done package will cause men to have impure thoughts about the designers.

Not once have I ever seen a kosher product with nicely done packaging. Especially considering all the girls who major in graphic design. That kosher ice cream packaging is the worst offender. Blooms or something? It's a hot pink tub with green lettering.<BR/>Heimish products generally use only two or three colors to save printing costs.frumpunkhttp://frumpunk.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783686265399505970.post-35133057086979388242008-06-12T23:50:00.000-04:002008-06-12T23:50:00.000-04:00oy vey!<BR/><BR/>people are retarded. funniest thing is, in the olden days it was common for people to live on dirt floors!!<BR/><BR/>U really think they didn't have chometz among the dirt?frumskeptichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02990363895869876238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783686265399505970.post-26153397457333762832008-06-12T23:48:00.000-04:002008-06-12T23:48:00.000-04:00You think that's funny?<BR/>One of my friend's wife sands and lacquers the table every year before Pesach.Moshehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01145237927656807738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783686265399505970.post-78340182839162289712008-06-12T23:45:00.000-04:002008-06-12T23:45:00.000-04:00My family pours a thin layer of plutonium over our table before pesach.

Someday I want to make something thats only kosher for pesach and treif year round. <BR/><BR/>The tablecloth problem was solved by those kosher plastics that people throw over their possibly treif white cotton ones on shabbos.<BR/><BR/>There really is a market out there for kosher anything.
