Paumanhin : Kulangin ang aking kukonting Tagalog at di ko kayang isalin ang nasa ibaba. What is the brown paper bag test?
The brown paper bag test is a test that helped slave masters tell who was fit to work in the house or who was more fit to be a field slave. If your skin was darker then a brown paper bag you were to work in the field, if you were lighter then the bag then you could be a house slave.In food science this test is used to determine if a substance is fat or not. It is a crude test but it works in a pinch. It is done by rubbing the unknown substance on the brown paper bag. If fat is present the bag will get translucent. If it is water based it just gets wet.
Sana may natunan kayo sa aking lahok ngayon. Happy LP!
Interesting. I learned a lot. I just ate an oily donut and indeed, the bag is soaked with oil...not good.
ReplyDeleteGanun pala yun. Adik talaga e no, tsk. parang sa face lang, pang test ng oilyness yung blue naman na papel:P hehe
ReplyDeletesalamat sa bagong kaalaman. ang akala kong paper bag test eh yung pag huminga ka sa paper bag at lumaki ito, fit kang magtrabaho. pag maliit lang ang hangin, di ka pwedeng magtrabaho :)
ReplyDeleteEto ang aking kayumanggi.
Happy LP!
