Posts below have reminded me of this story which I shall shamelessly pearoast:
Many years ago I used to work in theatre as an assistant stage manager.

We we working on a production of The Rivals, on stage was a bowl of fruit. As the fruit had to be practical, i.e. eaten, we used real fruit. One of my jobs was to buy fruit every so often from the supermarket over the road. They used to give us gift vouchers in return for a mention in the programme.
One other thing that we managed to get for free was fags. Yes this was that long ago that we could get fags to smoke on stage for nowt in return for a mention in the programme.

One problem was that when people smoke on stage they have to put the fag out in an ashtray filled with water, health and safety and that. When changing the set the water tended to splash. So we came up with the idea of using KY jelly.


So that is how I one day found myself in Sainsburys buying bananas and KY jelly with a gift voucher.

Is KY jelly actually effective?
Obviously it's water based so I can see the logic, just wonder if it's equally as safe, would be a nice trick.

Does it just as well
The water was required to make sure the fag wasn't smouldering. You still had to put it out like you would normally.

My colleagues over the Pennines develop washing up liquid formulas, and they test their effectiveness by using them on plates full of caked-on lard.
When their stock runs low, they have to go out and buy it from the supermarket. Apparently, buying 30 packs of Smartprice lard and nothing else will get you a lot of very odd and some slightly scared looks from staff and customers alike.
