The super macro guessing game

[MagentaJoe]

None of those things. I would say that just about everyone I have ever known would have owned this and might own it now. It's available in different forms.

[MagentaJoe]

Time for another clue... This is used mostly at home, although a few would use it at work. It's processed by the manufacturer and then again by the end user.

[sdmaker]

I was gonna say spaghetti, till i seen your clues, lol.

[MagentaJoe]

Of course it's spaghetti!

[sdmaker]

lol, ok. let me find a pic.

[sdmaker]

ok, here we go, should be easy.

[MagentaJoe]

Pencil leads?

[sdmaker]

hehe too easy, must find better subject for next time. your up

[MagentaJoe]

Go again Sdmaker.. I'm going to bed.

[sdmaker]

...as you can see i have no macro lens! so this was shot at 200mm and i held the 50 in front of it the wrong way round! so sorry if quality is a bit suspect...

[Qtrmeg]

I can't believe there are no guesses. That's clearly a steel reinforced textured condom, strawberry flavor.

[sdmaker]

you must be mistaken, that is clearly a steel reinforced tomato.

[BearLeeAlive]

I can't believe there are no guesses. That's clearly a steel reinforced textured condom, strawberry flavor.
I sure hope you are wrong, 'cause I woundn't want to know what that scuzzy red stuff is on the outside of the reinforcing ring.:lol:

[BearLeeAlive]

I am now hoping I might be closer.

The rim of a paint can?

[Vision Eyez]

def not a paint can for its a solid not liquid, maybe something to do with playdo?

[Mike Bell]

Tin of tomato soup that's been left in the fridge so long the soup has dried to a crust round the rim? (You see - I was once a student myself - I know what it is like!)

[stupot]

lol... you lot are disgusting! bear you're very warm... if nobody gets it before i go to bed (probably about 3am with the amount of work i have to do!) then i'll post up the answer.

good guess mike... maybe i'll do that next time:) plenty of subject material in the kitchen!
