Who?
This image comes from Microsoft's web portal, MSN, which is aiming to warn their audience of the recalls that were discovered this month. It is crazy the amount of items on the list. They're ranged in all food categories, even in animal foods. Even hand sanitizer and medical devices were added to the list!

Where & What?
Some of these food that manufacturers are believing to be making people sick come from different parts of the world. For example, H-E-B in Texas recalled some of their ice creams due to them possibly containing metals. Some basil herbs sold in Florida were taken off shelves due to the fears of them being contaminated with salmonella. Towards the middle of the article, a video can be seen that explains a hand sanitizer was found to be potentially leading to blindness and comas.

Have you ever had something taste so clean in your mouth? Something like a sweet that feels like your mouth has revived? Looking at these leaves, I can picture myself eating and chewing what this specific confection is made out of. I also love the ice cream flavor that's made from this. It goes well with the chocolate pieces added into it. When you tap on the box with your nails, it sounds as if it were plastic. When you shake it, it sounds like a box containing small round solid pieces being hit side by side in the inside. Just by looking at it, I can tell it is two inches tall, maybe one and a half inches by length, and around a centimeter in width all around the box. It feels small and light in weight.
