Snow emergency, sort of

[Wassercrats]

I might need fake snow on short notice. I might need to buy it tomorrow afternoon for use tomorrow afternoon. I might get the spray on stuff too, but I need stuff that can be held in your hand and thrown on the floor. I think I have white packing peanuts, which is fine (it doesn't have to look very real), but I might throw it on public sidewalks so I'd like it to be recyclable. Is there a national chain that has it? Would party supply stores have it?

Also, any buying tips for spray-on snow? Does some wash off easier or go on lumpier or something?

I'll ship you some. How much you need? ;)

Wass, you should be able to get packing peanuts in HUGE bags from any cardboard box supplier. In the yeller pages, see: Boxes - Folding Cartons, Boxes - Folding Cartons - Manufacturers, Printers - Folding Cartons.

They're in 20 cu ft bags.

Yeah, I have some, but even if I get the biodegradable kind (unless it's actual popcorn) it will look environmentally unfriendly and I don't want to be accused of killing seals or anything.

Use rice or flour. And wear your baby seal-skin coat.

I like the mashed potato flakes idea from Last Word. [deleted secret idea]
