User questions & answers

Question: Is this shrimp only or imitation crab as well
Answer: I have discovered that the magnification changes as one moves the lens closer - or - farther away from the text. ON the text is not as effective as - say - an inch away, better still at 2 inches, etc. I hope this helps.

User questions & answers

Question: Is this checked for heavy metals
Answer: Only under near perfect conditions. It's absolutely possible, but think of it as a back up, to your back up, to your back up plan. I'd rather NOT rely on this to start a fire unless absolutely necessary. It is great for magnifying text or helping to get out a pesky splinter however.
Question: What is natural unami flavor? it is not listed on the label as an ingredient. I have eaten nori for decades and never seen this word before
Answer: It will fit in an Altoids tin without the yellow protective sleeve.
Question: Why is there a cancer and reproductive harm warning on the back of the package
Answer: Approximately 1mm including the pouch. The lens by itself is slightly thinner than a credit card.
Question: Is "Gold Grade" an official industry standard? Or is it just marketing
Answer: Hi, the focal distance is 3-5 cm.

User questions & answers

Question: Is wheat added to the special sauce topping; is that the teriyaki sauce? (the packet of soy sauce definitely contains wheat
Answer: Wow, a bunch of wrong answers. Not only is it possible to trim the edges and use the center portion, it is even possible to cut it into sections, and each section will continue to function. The only difference is that a lens cut from a location not in the center will need to be held over to one side. If it isn't apparent what the total effect will be, just imagine that you took the lens and covered half of it with paper and tape, and then covered have of the remaining rectangular piece, so that once again you have a square section. Obviously this section has to be held to one side, and it probably wouldn't work very well for a reading lens. But you certainly could still use it to start a fire.
Question: Is salmon cooked
Answer: The groove pitch is 0.5mm. The focal length is 320mm
