  1. Don't you think three glasses of water and 5 glasses of cooking oil is too much?
    Just asking..
    And, is there caustic soda that looks like flour? My friend bought caustic soda before that looks like flour. and when we mixed it with water, it didn't get hot. It doesn't even irritate the skin. Do you think she bought the wrong one? Haha.

  3. When you say the word 'Franchise', most people immediately think of business-based franchises like those that are top listed in popular business magazines every year. But, it is important to remember that there are hundreds and thousands of franchises out there, some that are spectacularly successful, others that are total failures. Obviously, you want to avoid the latter.
