Abstract: A method of preparing roasted citrus fruit peel which comprises extracting the roasted peel with aqueous ethanol, removing the aqueous ethanol from the peel and roasting the thus treated peel. The aqueous ethanol may be recovered for use as an alcoholic beverage. The treated peel is useful in preparing a substitute for coffee or tea by extracting the treated peel with water.

Abstract: A non-toxic, non-eye-irritating bubble composition, consisting essentially of an aqueous solution of from about 1.5 to about 6% by weight of lauric diethanolamide, from about 0.75 to about 3% by weight of an alkanolamido half ester of a sulfosuccinic acid salt as surfactant, from about 0.05 to about 6% of a water-soluble film-forming agent selected from the group consisting of polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyethylenoxide, polyvinylalcohol, cellulose and gelatin, the weight ratio of said lauric diethanolamide to said surfactant on a dry basis being from about 1.74:1 to about 2.4:1, from 0 to about 10% by weight of glycerin, and the balance water.
