Biodegradable packing peanuts are pretty much the coolest things ever invented. For those of you unfamiliar with this wonderful bastardization of nature, a demonstration:


At first, we have a sink overflowing with what looks like normal styrofoam peanuts. Oh my! How will we get them out of there?



But with just a minute or two of running water, this happens:

They dissolve! They dissolve into a sticky, chunky mess and then dissolve into nothing and wash down the sink. It's kind of disgusting, but it's the most magical kind of disgusting.
