By noseclip, do you mean manufacturers actually produce and market such a product? I'm not surprised, but I had to re-read your statement to see if I wasn't just supplanting "laundry clip" in there for whatever reason. Still haven't gotten this experiment off the ground. Not that anyone should care, but I recently was viewer to an interesting documentary about flora and the segment about potatoes came up, and am now off-handly wondering, "is a potato safe to eat right out of the ground / out of the bag / out of the soused sink?"

my real question and reason for a return to this thread is a follow-up query on the wonderful process that is
condensation. I really am in awe of its multitude of uses and functions, (I was actually daydreaming of how to use its basic function to combat global drinkable water dearth) but after years and years of seeing it in practice, I've seemed to forgotten how most of how it comes about; so I ask, when the water beads are forming on the surface of the aforementioned milk glass, is that water being extracted/evaporated/reformed from the actual contents of the container, or is the process of the condensed air around the cooling container drawing in the surrounding invisible water vapors, which then combine and mingle in an effort to cool down the receptacle?
