If I didn't have a toddler with a strawberry allergy, these would be perfect! I bought this mixed pack knowing that I would just give my daughter the grape flavor and not the strawberry (obviously) or the mixed berry. So, I already knew these were tasty, soft, moist, delicious and all natural. I also read the ingredients and the grape did not list any berry ingredients so I figured it was safe.

Nope!

Kid broke out!

I called the company to ask what was up and they explained that being an organic product, they could not guarantee what ingredients would be used in the flavor puree and that the ingredients were dependent on what organic fruits are available at the time of production. Thus, any of the flavors might contain strawberries in the puree.

The Ideal Bonsai Tree: The Dwarf Pomegranate

People who love bonsai trees will love the dwarf pomegranate tree! The dwarf pomegranate tree has beautiful flowers and fruit. However, the fruit of the dwarf pomegranate tree is quite small when compared to a normal pomegranate. The dwarf pomegranate tree's flowers are yellow-orange in color and trumpet shaped; its fruit is a spherical red; and its leaves are dark green marbled with shades of bronze. The trunk of the dwarf pomegranate is naturally twisted. Overall, the dwarf pomegranate is a lush and gorgeous bonsai!

The dwarf pomegranate can be easily propagated from the thick branches of a parent plant. The dwarf pomegranate thrives in hot, sunny conditions, but needs to be kept a bit damp at all times. The only exception to this is just before mid-season, when shadier and dryer conditions encourage flowering of the dwarf pomegranate tree.

Sunlight is critical to the dwarf pomegranate tree. It is also rather delicate and frost or drying winds will kill this tree. Because the dwarf pomegranate is a Mediterranean tree, it flourishes in warm environments. If you live in an area with a cold climate, a greenhouse is the perfect place to grow the dwarf pomegranate tree. The tree flowers well when planted in a deeper-than-usual pot because a shallow pot will not accommodate the root system. The branches of the dwarf pomegranate tree can be brittle, so care should be taken.

On the whole, the dwarf pomegranate is the perfect bonsai tree. It is easily trained to almost all bonsai styles: forest, cascade, literati, tree on rock, windswept, twin trunk, root over rock, twisting trunk, informal upright, etc. A gorgeous bonsai, the dwarf pomegranate is in every aspect a full pomegranate tree, in miniature.

Five Ways to Make Your Company Slogan Catchy Or Your Tag Line Terrific

Whether you call it a company slogan, a tag line, a strapline, a logline, a branding statement, a positioning statement, a motto or a memory hook, this refers to a phrase that follows the company name in website headers, in print ads, on business cards and everywhere else.

Ideally, the slogan should say something interesting in a snappy way. In many cases, however, it just says something ordinary in a snappy way, and that gets the job done. The slogan makes the company stand out from competitors and stick in the minds of customers. It performs marketing magic.

Let's start with a couple of bland company names and then see how to jazz them up with five tag line techniques.

Example #1 is Benton Motor Rental. It rents cars to tourists and business visitors in Boston. The owners don't think it's all that special or exciting, but let's see what happens when we apply some creativity.

Technique #1: Alliteration. This means repeated initial sounds or letters, as in:
Benton Motor Rental: Boston's Best Rides

Note that all the words in the business name and tag line need not start with the same letter for alliteration to add pizzazz.

Technique #2: Contrast. This means a juxtaposition of opposites or extremes, such as day/night, minimum/maximum, rich/poor. Let's add this to the previous example to get:
Benton Motor Rental: Boston's Best Rides, by the Hour or the Month

The contrast in the added phrase conveys flexibility and range and makes the company sound like it caters to the convenience of the customer.

Technique #3: Rhyme. Again, let's reuse and tweak an idea we already thought up:
Benton Motor Rental: Your Best Ride is Our Pride

Although that's a little hackneyed, the rhymed tag line still adds energy and a promise of customer service to the company name.

Technique #4: Make an unexpected connection. Boston's nickname is Beantown, and this company's car rental service costs less than some competitors. So that yields:
Benton Motor Rental: Beancounter's Delight

Technique #5: Riff off a popular saying. Find a cliche related to car rental and add a clever twist, or take a saying having nothing to do with car rental and make it relate:
Benton Motor Rental: Making Boston Your Oyster

Well, anyone who knows Boston's twisted street system and aggressive drivers won't believe that slogan for a minute, but you get the idea, right?

Example #2 is Cathy's Fruit Shop. It sells both seasonal local fruits and fruits from overseas. It's known for being a friendly place with fresh, attractive produce. Again, let's get creative.

Technique #1: Alliteration.
Cathy's Fruit Shop: Pears, Papayas, Plums... Plus
Or, Cathy's Fruit Shop: Fundamentally Fresh and Friendly

Technique #2: Contrast.
Cathy's Fruit Shop: Earth's Bounty, Heavenly Fresh

Technique #3: Rhyme.
Cathy's Fruit Shop: Always the Freshest Crop

Technique #4: An unexpected connection.
Cathy's Fruit Shop: Fresh Fruit on Fridays - and Every Other Day of the Week, Too

Technique #5: Riff off a popular saying.
Cathy's Fruit Shop: Compare Our Apples and Oranges

It's so much easier to pull captivating slogans out of your hat when you have these guidelines for combining words in punchy ways!
