[Publib] The Hydrox: the new PUBLIB mascot?

[Jim Sanderson]

The dandelion  (or dente de lion) was the emblem for the French Larouusse
Dictionary/Encylopedia.  I remember my mother's copy.  The motto translated
as "I sow at each wind"

Once upon a time, we had a PubLib button with a dandelion on it: ubiquitous
wildflower seen everywhere dispensing its little flowerlets. I liked that.
There is something to be said for both the Hydrox cookie (C is for Cookie,
that's good enough for me, saith the Sage C.M.) and the garlic clove. We
should discuss this.
We should definitely have a PubLib entry on Wikipedia. If Karen or Sara
would be so gracious as to post whatever basic description/history we have,
many of us will be more than happy to add to it.
