A taco shell is produced by applying a plasticizing agent to a targeted region including a base or spine portion of a hard taco shell and lower sections of taco shell sidewalls, thereby softening the targeted region, preferably across a strip width between 16 mm-20 mm, and enabling the sidewalls of the hard taco shell to engage each other without cracking or otherwise breaking the taco shell. As a further result, when the taco shell is bitten, the softened targeted region has some hinging flexibility or pliability which reduces the potential for any crack propagation. Therefore, the structural integrity of the hard taco shell can be better maintained during packaging and while be eaten, resulting in retention of the fillings and less mess. If desired, an anti-migration agent can also be applied to assure containment of the plasticizing agent in the targeted region.

The beauty or skin-care treatment may be a single use system for providing a manicure or pedicure treatment or other beauty or skin-care service. Each primary packaging that may be provided with the beauty or skin-care treatment may contain a beauty or skin-care product that may be used in providing the treatments. The beauty or skin-care treatment may include multiple primary packages in the form of single-serve packaging provided collectively as a set. The set may be housed in the secondary packaging and packaged together to form a multi-step treatment. The beauty or skin-care products contained in the single-serve packaging may be made of ingredients beneficial to the skin and may include products to aid in sanitizing, exfoliating, nourishing, hydrating and moisturizing the skin.

The invention relates to highly stable alcohol-free, water-glycerol solutions of T4 thyroid hormone, with a reduced amount of T3 impurity, packaged via specific container arrangements. The containers are multi-barrier ones, in which a number of layers of specific materials separate the solution from contact with the external environment.

A packaging system that maintains the free flowing characteristic of solid materials contained therein. The packaging system includes a container, a cover, a vapor permeable bag, a vapor impermeable liner and at least two desiccant snakes. The vapor permeable bag has an opening for receiving solid materials and is formed from cloth or continuous fibers of high-density polyethylene that are randomly distributed and non-directional. The vapor impermeable liner surrounds the vapor permeable bag and provides a moisture barrier. The desiccant snakes are disposed between the vapor permeable bag and the liner. Each snake includes two or more desiccant packages formed from a vapor permeable material through which moisture can freely pass. The desiccant packages contain clay, silica, or molecular sieves.
