Maltin gave it three stars!”: Grab a Ziploc for the head and a meat diaper for all the juice! 2003 Mary Lou Life After NEXCOM (Whidbey Island, Washington) (Oct. 7) “Chitters”: OH I forgot!! MEAT DIAPERS!!!! she LOVES to dig in the kitchen trash for those!! They also are in the middle of the office floor. 2006 ECI Biotech (Worcester, Massachusetts) (Jan. 9) “A Biosensor for Food Freshness”: For instance, a peptide-dye conjugate sandwiched between two membranes could be placed in diapers on which chicken, pork or meat rest in packages. The biosensor would offer consumers an easy-to-comprehend visual signal for freshness. Moreover, these types of bio-sensors could be laser jet-printed onto poultry or meat diapers. 2007 [ CDR Will] Townhall.com (Jan. 22) “The same thoughts apply”: I buy such meat all the time, and the first thing I do when I get it home is to take off the saran wrap and discard that little meat diaper and place it in the coolest part of the fridge. 2007 [RalphieOB] Las Vegas Advisor Free Forums (Feb. 18) “Vegas is a ******* disgrace right now”: You won’t find this very easily in a regular supermarket becuase you pay by the weight and blood is heavy, making the price higher. This is why you often find that pad (known as a meat diaper) under the meat to absorb the blood so it doesn’t spill out all over the place. You are actually paying for the weight of this pad.
