Real American-made product

Rummaging through the kitchen looking for packing materials I found this. I am sure glad my wife spent that extra money for real "genuine" styrofoam. Since I am sure that you are all aware of the glut of less desirable artificial styrofoam flooding our markets from foreign shores taking all of our domestic styrofoam herding jobs and sending them offshore. It warms my heart to know that the wife bought the real, free-range, non-abused, domestically grown product and not the off-shore, third world stuff that spends its life tortured in cramped little cages with no place to excercize. I am really glad to know that no styrofoam was injured in the manufacturng of this genuine article.

<font color="red"> Styrofoam is a trademark name for extruded polystyrene thermal insulation material,
manufactured by Dow Chemical Company. It is usually blue in color (according to the Dow website).
Styrofoam can be recycled and easily identified if it is properly labeled with the resin identification code symbol for polystyrene,
it may otherwise take between 1 and 100 years to decompose.

The word styrofoam is often used by the general public as a generic term to indicate any brand of polystyrene foam.</font>

Trivia:
The city of Berkeley, California was one of the first cities in the world to ban polystyrene food packaging (called Styrofoam in the media announcements)</font>
<font color="blue">
Today, the Dow STYROFOAM brand includes a variety of building materials (including insulated sheathing and housewrap), pipe insulation and floral and craft products. But there isn’t a coffee cup, cooler or packaging material in the world made from STYROFOAM.

These common disposable items are typically white in color and are made of expanded polystyrene beads. They do not provide the insulating value, compressive strength or moisture resistance properties of STYROFOAM products. In order to protect the Dow trademarked name “STYROFOAM”, such other material should be referred to by the generic term “foam.”
