oily goodness

[From Boingboing.net via Making Light]:
This South African food company manufactures some deliciously chemical sounding spreads and oils. We love the names of their buttery goops Gresol and Blendoplus. Even better is the descriptions of pastry fat, Flakepuff: “A firm, plasticised puff pastry fat for heated pastry goods.” It makes a person feel like finding a bakery that has a little flakepuff in the ingredients. The description for Blotex makes the mouth water too.
General purpose pure shortening, not necessarily of good creaming performance. The fat is based on a blend of selectively hydrogenated edible oils, which have been fully refined and deoderised. Smooth, plastic fat that ensures even dispersion at all times for the best results under machine conditions. Specifically formulated for production of fermented goods and industrial biscuit manufacturing. Conforms to both the Muslim and Jewish authority food standards
Secretly we're jealous of the folks at Epic. We want to work at a company with a Mission Statement. We're most excited by the company's aspirations to create "Magic People." Their Mission statement:
