Abstract: The present invention provides a filled package which exhibits a substantially colorless transparent appearance. The package is made of a substantially transparent container which exhibits the tint of a first color. A substantially transparent liquid which exhibits the tint of a second color which is different than the first color is housed in the container. The tint of the first color of the container and the tint of the second color of the liquid cooperate with one another such that the tinted container exhibits a substantially colorless transparent appearance when filled with the tinted liquid.

Abstract: A process for reducing the time required to achieve texture equilibration in crumb-continuous cookies having distributed therein discrete regions of storage-stable crisp texture and discrete regions of storage-stable chewy texture comprises increasing the rate of sugar crystallization. The rate of sugar crystallization can be increased by exposing the cookies to an exogenous source of moisture, decreasing the level of crystallization-resistant sugar in the outer region of the cookie, decreasing readily crystallizable sugar particle size for a given sugar level, increasing the readily crystallizable sugar to flour ratio, increasing the moisture level in the cookie dough, baking the cookies to have a higher moisture content, or by any combination of these or other equivalent means.

Abstract: An absorbent article or portion thereof comprises first and second layers joined together intimately in a generally parallel and coextensive manner. Each layer has a pattern of multiple discrete holes or regions of low density which are separated by regions of high density. The layers are aligned to minimize the number of holes or regions of low density of one layer which substantially overlap one or more holes or regions of low density of the other layer. The articles are characterized by better wicking, lower thermal conductivity and improved appearance compared to articles in which a higher degree of overlap of low density areas is noted.A process for making absorbent articles having improved wicking is also disclosed. This process is carried out by aligning the adjacent layers of the absorbent body as described above.
