The super absorbent crystals in the interior of the Bandanna will absorb over 1000 times their own weight in water and provide cooling relief for days.

This attractive product is made from a soft, comfortable fabric that enhances evaporation and cooling. COOLDANNAâ„¢ Cooling Collar Bandanas are a great way to 'air condition' yourself and keep ultracool. The COOLDANNA Cooling Collar Bandana works by sending cooling sensations to pulse points which are carried throughout your body.

I have used them for years and Spooks at one time asked me for the site, don't know if he ordered any but I have heard they are popular over in Iraq.
But they really work.
BTW I am gettting nothing from this company and am not connected with it in any way.
Just trying to turn you guys on to a good thing.

That works too. (This may gross some people out...... but!) I used to make up my own when I worked in a kitchen as a cook. I just used a kitchen rag and put ice in it, and tied it around my neck. Before using this method, I'd sweat up a storm, and probably dripped sweat in people's food. Didn't mean to..... but it gets hot in those kitchens. But after starting to wear a ice pack, my head (and face) did NOT sweat. It surprized me how well it worked.

If you eat out alot, and the cooks are not wearing ice packs or sweat bands..... you're probably getting some sweat.

No matter how you put it Beth that is sick, lol, bye

Hey...... well, sometimes the truth isn't pleasant. Now let's see how many of you decide to still eat out at after hearing about this. LOL

Actually, sweat is the least of your worries when eating out. What's sweat anyway? Salt water basiclly. There are much grosser things that end up in people's food. And it really is true that you need to be careful sending food back in the kitchen because "it's not quite right". It doesn't take many smarts to become a cook. It's only one step above a dishwasher in the job market. Many cooks have "issues" and on a busy Friday night, when the sweats flying, and the waitress is giving you a hard time....... a returned plate is the last thing that cook wants to see. The cook often gets an attitude, and will do all sorts of things to the plate they send back to you. Could be as simple as cigarette ashes, or as gross as boogers, but it's usually spit.

Boy....... I really took this post off topic. LOL

You know Beth, after your first reply, I was going to tell you not to enlighten the rest of the crowd on what really happens in restaurant kitchens.

Having been a waitress in a very busy restaurant, I know what your'e talking about.

That is true sick, lol. We rarely eat out and when we do it is usally at buffes where you never have to p of the chef by sending it back. bye

I worked in kitchens for the better part of 29 years. Not as a cook,but as a refrigeration repairman. Believe me you don't want to know what you been eating.
