How did they get the stripes in Stripe toothpaste?

The stripes were created by a special device that was fitted to the nozzle end of the tube: a tube within the tube, if you will, about one inch in length and perforated with a ring of small holes around the top.

Toothpaste tubes are normally filled from the flat end, which is then folded over and sealed. In the case of Stripe, a red toothpaste was first filled around the special fitting; the white toothpaste, filled second, held the red toothpaste in place at the top of the tube.

When the tube was squeezed, the white toothpaste would run through the special inner tube, while the pressure of the squeeze simultaneously forced the red toothpaste through the tiny orifices at the end. With the flow of red matched to the flow of white, the toothpaste emerged from the nozzle perfectly striped.

Dessert Sunday: Orange Pudding

Ingredients
  • 3 Cups Orange Juice
  • 3 Table spoons Ground Rice
  • 1 Cup water
  • Grated Rind of 1 Orange
  • Sugar to taste
  • Rosted Almonds
Preperation
  1. Stir all the ingredients together-except the almonds-and cook over very low flame, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens like thin custard. Pour into a shallow serving dish, let cool, and decorate with almonds.
  2. The quantity of sugar depends on the type-and thus sweetness-of the oranges. With burtu'an sukkari, or sweet oranges, use only half the normal amount of sugar.

→ What is wrong with HTML 5

Part the first:

The Hypertext Markup Language was designed to describe the structure of scientific documents and how they related to one another.

Part the second:

The Hypertext Markup Language is used to describe the way a given screen of information is structured, presented and responds to user input.

Thesis:

Everything wrong with HTML5 can be ascribed to the differences between those two sentences.
