I grew up in the days of purple ketchup so I honestly can’t tell if this is real of if somebody put a label on some molybdenum grease or something.

It's not real, in case you're actually wondering.

Clearly you've never had metalic candy. Yes that's a real thing.

Mmmmm ...antiseize...

Antiseize on one side, and red bearing grease on the other.

To buy it you have to sign an affadavit that you have at least 2 bathrooms.

Squeeze it in between two break pads, and you've got a robots equivalent of a PBJ sandwich

Completely random question: Do you have dab a bit of antiseize between a hub and rotor? I suppose any grease would work to reduce corrosion "sticking" the parts together, but I was always taught antiseize works best, for whatever reason.

Ghyste@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 94d

Yes

Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe · 2 pts · 94d

I do, helps prevent them rusting together and holds up to the heat of braking.

Goes on wheel studs too.

I always use antiseize between wheel hub and rotor hub. Its a grease with graphite powder or something right?

jode@pawb.social · 1 pts · 94d (1 reply)

Molybdenum to be specific. Not sure if I spelled that one correct.

BCsven@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 94d

Looks right

When I was younger we often used to decorate cakes with these little silver balls, and I sometimes wonder what was in them that was so bad that they don't seem to make them any more...

Thteven@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 93d

I tried biting one and I'm pretty sure those were just ball bearings.

got me curious so i looked it up and they were called dragées apparently

since 1906, U.S. regulations have prohibited the manufacture or sale of any food that uses any metal or mineral substance—including silver—as a food coloring, coating, or additive.[8] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration considers the silver and gold metallic-finish sugar dragées to be inedible, and they may be sold only when accompanied with a notice that they are to be used for decorative purposes only.[8] Almonds that have been coated the same way are not permitted at all.[8] Although metallic-finish dragées can be purchased in 49 U.S. states, they are no longer sold in California.[9]
