On a serious note though, about the corn chip thingies that they use to protect fragile items with, please be careful! Yes they are actually made of corn, sometimes rice and other grain but they also put arsenic in them just in case rats and mice get in 😮 …. i used to it them 😮 a lot too, but then i talked to a delivery guy who worked for a packing company and he told me this. Please try to refrain from eating them 😀
out of curiosity I checked this out – they are colour coded! anything that is any colour other than beige/cream contains chemicals and should not be eaten (they can be buried, or made into solvents for use as fuel or cleaners).
That said I’ve not come across any different coloured ones in the UK – there are fairly strict controls on the use of rodenticides and they may not be allowed here – under British law rats and mice have protection as much as other animals and can only be caught in certain methods (this is done to avoid other creatures who may eat the bait or the rodents also being poisoned!)
