here is what spuzz said about this
While I was a bit leery of watching this, thinking I'd be bored silly of the constant vegan talk going on (which it does normally), this provided a fascinating account of the production of 'Nutralite" an additive supposedly made only with Alfafa, and other herbs and vitamins and lord only knows what else. But the production of Alfafa is featured here, it's grown, chopped, composted, dried and beaten into a pulp until it's mixed with other ingredients. (The exact combination is secret of course, as the narrator SHOWS where this is done, but we never go inside) soon, the stuff is mixed with minerals and then either put into pills or pulverized into a tablet format. Very interesting production shots shown here. Of course, what Nutralite is good for, is never really explained. Guess I'll have to talk to my Nutralite rep about it (after all, he is a member of my community!) Highly recommended!
Enjoy

Zen, here's a site devoted to oddball online vids called Weirdo Videos

It seems to catalog the ones on youtube, dailymotion, etc.
Some links are inappropiate for Cyclops but would be right at home at behind the counter. A few standouts are the Varietease trailer, Bettie Page taking a bubble bath, Bettie practicing her, um, Houdini skills, and a trailer for Marijuana, a 1930s nudie film masquerading as an anti-drug film. The pre-code 1930s movie shows far more than the 1950s tease products.
Enjoy!
A little ironic given how they're now doing something similiar with peanuts to make Plumpy'nut.
Mark - Great link! thanks again
