Clean slices

Reynolds Plastic Wrap is replacing

its serrated foil cutter with an "EZ Slide" plastic strip (right)

that uses a zipper-like action. Even skeptics admitted that it neatly

cuts the wrap without leaving you holding a crumpled ball of plastic.

The new packaging will be available in clear and colored wrap in 50- and

100-square-foot rolls over the coming months.

Sweet site offers retro delights

If you want to put your paws

on some colored M&M's, here you go.

Candy Favorites' candy

shop (www.candyfavorites.com) offers them in batches of retro colors such

as aqua green and cream. You'll be impressed by the price of chocolate

when you get to the checkout. Seventy bucks will get you a 10-pound bag

of one color, but shipping is free.

There is a candy for every

occasion - birth announcements, weddings, anniversaries, holidays,

party treats, patriotic candy, edible insects, fund-raising candy and

concession candy.

We like the Retro Packs with

candy that has survived the decades - Jujubes, Lemonheads, Atomic

Fireballs, Bazooka, Candy Lipstick, Pixy Stix, Pop Rocks, Smarties, Sugar

Babies, Wax Lips and Zots, to name a few.

Diet Coke makers squeeze some

limes

For people who like cola with

a twist, there's nothing like the real thing - a slice of lemon

or lime. Now there's Diet Coke with Lime, the latest in the Coke

lineup.

It tastes fresh and clean,

and the lime-green bottle top lets you know exactly what you're in

for.

Because of the positive response

to the light citrus flavor of Diet Coke with Lime, Coca-Cola says Diet

Coke with Lemon will be altered so that it is lighter.
