Did You Know ...

Question Mark

Why is our outdoor cooker called a Barbecue?  ...
The first recorded use of barbecue was in 1661, clearly a borrowing from the Spanish barbacoa, meaning "framework of sticks".  Originally, a barbecue was the raised device used to roast whole animals over open fires.  Now we use barbecue to refer to the cooking device, the meat so cooked, and even the sauce poured over it!

Question MarkHow did the term "Caddy" come to be?  ... "Caddy" is actually derived from the French word "cadet", the same word now applied to military students.  The word was brought into Scotland by Mary Queen of Scots (who was born in France) and originally referred to an errand boy.  In golf, the caddy is, in essence, and errand boy.

In France, cadet means "younger son".  In Mary's time, patrimony was the rule.  The oldest son inherited the fortune of the father.  younger sons, even in wealthy families, often had to fend for themselves financially.  So gentlemen often volunteered for military service only because they didn't have the good fortune to be born before their siblings.

Are you planning on getting away from it all this summer?  Maybe do a little camping?  ... a little fishing?  ... a little boating?  ... a little "roughing it"?

You'll want to to read up on your Watkins Camping "Gotta-Haves!"

 

Some "Fast Watkins Facts"!
Did You Realize That ...

  • Watkins Herb & Spice Grilling Rubs contain nothing but PURE spices?  In their unbreakable metal tins, they are perfect for use out on the barbecue!
  • Watkins Steak Sauce was voted among the top ten steak sauces in North America by GQ (Gentlemen's Quarterly) Magazine - one of the most influential "trend-setter" magazines in North America?  (We've been told by several customers that the flavour reminds them of the Ponderosa Steak House sauce.)
  • One bottle of Watkins Meat Magic will enhance the flavour and texture of up to 30 pounds of meat?
  • Watkins Specialty Seasoning Blends contain only pure spices - no salt or msg?
  • Watkins Gourmet Pepper Blends do not contain salt? Did you know that many "competitor" brands DO??
  • Watkins Granulated Black Pepper is processed in a way that preserves the essential oil molecules in each little granule of pepper - making for a "burst" of flavour when it hits your food - and makes for a guaranteed "sneeze-proof" pepper?
  • You can make 5 pies from only one can of Watkins Dessert Mix?
  • Watkins Gourmet Extracts and Flavours are approximately 30% stronger than those found on the supermarket shelves?
  • Watkins Original Double-Strength Vanilla is "percolated" rather than distilled - which enables Watkins to produce more flavour without a high alcohol content?
  • Watkins Aloe Vera Juice and Aloe Vera Supplements are extracted only from field-grown plants that are at least 2 years old - thereby ensuring maximum potency?
  • Watkins Aloe & Green Tea Liquid Hand Soap is an "antibacterial" soap? ... perfect for the kitchen, or after gardening!
  • Watkins Petro Carbo Salve will not only disinfect and help heal cuts, it will also "draw" out slivers, ingrown hairs, blind pimples, boils, etc. - without the need for going "digging"?
  • Watkins Plant Life is perfect for nurturing your tiny seedlings because it will not "burn" the plants?
  • Watkins Odor Zap is a totally "healthy" odor eliminator that does not mask odors with any scent of its own, but actually contains enzymes that "eat" the odor-causing bacteria?
  • Watkins Creme Cleanser is one of the strongest cleansers Watkins has?  It will "scour" your worst stains - even on white countertops and tables - and then rinse away with a simple wipe with a damp cloth!
  • Watkins All-Purpose Citrus Cleaner is a very tricky product?  Not only does it work wonderfully at cutting through grease and film from cooking, etc. - the "trick" is that the pure citrus scent gives you more energy to keep going longer!  You'll amaze yourself at how much you accomplish!!
  • Watkins Bio-Drain Opener does not come with a child-proof cap?  It doesn't need one!  That's how safe it is!!
