> What would keep your interest?

I know why I lost interest after the 2nd page refresh: I am not sitting on the throne right now. :-D Leaving aside the kryptonite and smurfs, trying to figure out which of those ingredients were real was quite a challenge!

Maybe a series of aphorims would be better, say quotes from Meditations of Marcus Aurelius or Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanack, etc.

Neat idea, though!

Your detergents have quotes from Benjamin Franklin on their back labels? Coooool! :D
We're exercising poetic license here.

Imagine a label for Poor Richard's Washing Powder and as part of the usage instructions it says "Early to bed, early to rise..." etc.

Actually I had a similar idea but I think we need a totally different site here, besides the labels.
Real product labels?
Some fodder may perhaps be found here:

In a future update ;)
