Tidbits

A clear favorite

Remember drinking Kool-Aid when you were a kid? It always left a telltale mustache in bright red, purple, green or blue. Now, you and your kids can subtly sip with new Kool-Aid Invisible, a clear alternative to the Kool-Aid smile. It comes in two flavors, raspberry and watermelon kiwi, and is available in an unsweetened powder, which costs 25 cents per envelope.

Return of a classic

Crate and Barrel has reissued Eva Zeisel’s classic 1950s dinnerware. These sculptural pieces in organic shapes are made of high-fired English earthenware with a creamy vanilla glaze. The collection ranges in price from $54.95 to $236.95 and is available at www.crateandbarrel.com.
