Can that be applied to PSU RB and WR/TE jerseys?

That article is $hit.

They call it Teflon?

Sounds like Chuck Norris (or John Wayne) TP...

It's already on their hands.

This isn't new. The BOT has been using this technology since 2012 to make sure any crap that passes by them doesn't stick

It's doesn't conjure up Pitt's development of the Salk vaccine, but it's a start. Keep it up guys!!

It'll save a few gallons of water but the lubricant will end up killing all sea life. Yea, that makes sense.

Priorities.

Just like with football, try desperately to convince others of your self-worth and relevance on the basis of the decades-old accomplishments of others.

How will that help to flush it through the 100' or more of sewer pipe?

Yes....there is no reference to what the lubricant will do to the sea life. Nor is there an apparent exploration of what happens to the polymeric micro fibers when they have to repel material without the lubricant. Break off? And if so...then end up doing the same as micro beads?

Well. No shit

What if the govt. just made it illegal to take a dump. Think of how environmentally friendly that would be and all the money saved on not have big municipal treatment plants to treat all that poo.

Who knew that synthetic fecal matter exists? What did that grant proposal look like? Yes, we need money to develop something that every person naturally creates every day. Heck, there's a Penn State message board that creates more than it's share continuously! Now, who should work on this?
Is it Tang flavored?

The 70's were just an endless treat.

I don’t see why not, they already use it on the receivers hands.

Heard this was discovered when they were trying to come up with a new formulation for onion dip.
