    Hehehee, good one
    I won't recommend you to use it on you chips - bet it is not very tasty
    Here is an explanation what tawas is: Tawas on Wiki
    BTW - did you ever tried to put ordinary cooking salt on your slug???
    He will be foaming a lot as well

    I never used normal cooking salt for slugs,the best to use is Copper tape(they recoil when touching it) or diatomaceous earth(which is also a component of dynamite though it doesnt blow them up)as it dehydrates them by absorbing their lipids,better stop chatting about slugs in case members of the league against cruelty to Arionoidea's are reading



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
