Gotta Question? Search RCB:

I read yours after I read hers! :) Yours makes sense too, although I was trying to reconcile the logic of selling beads to make money so I can spend money on beads... LOL!

A Lifesaver might be a good thing... Legos might be too American, I'm not sure if they play with them in Europe, Japan, and Australia, which is where the majority of my non-North American customers are. I am pretty sure a cigarette is fairly universal, but eeew!

Legos come from Denmark, home of the original Lego land. There's one in Britain and one in California, too. Not sure about Asia.

I know that Life Savers are available in Europe Asia and Australia, I think I've seen them in South America, too. Nasty flavors, though - Japan has one called "sweat." Never, ever dared try it.

What about including a picture of 2mm - 8mm in an additional picture? (8mm) is the largest size I carry. People could get an idea of what size that is.

Legos are actually (or at least were originally) a European product - Denmark, I believe. Not to say they are universal enough, but they are not an American invention.

Um, Kalera, Lego was invented in Denmark. There's a Lego Land in the UK, it's probably more universal than most other things we've named yet other than the ruler.

From the Lego.com website:

Did you know that... The name LEGO comes from the Danish words "Leg Godt", which means "Play well". In Latin it means "I put together

I've been racking my brain to think of something that's fairly universal and small enough to be meaningful to someone who is buying beads but isn't exactly conversant with sizes or can't jump from metric to imperial (like me!!! I'm hopeless about that).

A ruler is really the only constant I can think of but it does have to look good.

I'll be with you in a few days.

oh, ew! how very "Potterish"!!! My dd fed the "vomit" flavored Bott's bean to her dad. He wasn't very happy with her.

I think I have the answer... a wild mouse. Small.. universal... cute, cuddly... Diana

Ok, so how about something that occurs in nature? A raisin. Hm...no, there are jumbo raisins too!

A baby tooth. Hmm. an acorn. I'm striking out here...

How about a paper clip? Aren't they all the same? With there being the exception of the standard size and the jumbo....one could note that a standard sized paper clip is being shown for size reference. And I know everyone has different sized hands, but a picture holding the beads really helps to put it into perspective anyway.

A hat, a brooch, a pterodactyl?

-Su

That's a great idea! With a ruler.

Has anyone else noticed that all the *really* good toys seem to come from Denmark?
