What does go-lightly taste like?

Heavy mineral water. A very slight salty-metallic taste. You have to drink so much of it in a short period of time, so taste doesn't matter as much as tenacity. I suggest no meals, food anytime before four hours of taking it. It all comes out anyway. Expect a long night. Good luck. BTW; the name has nothing to do with the results. However, it is the choice of most doctors. Go-Lytely and Co-Lyte both come with a variety of flavor packets which can be provided by the pharmacist. It may be better to mix it and store in the refrigerator until cold for several hours before you drink it; this will help mask the slightly soapy taste of the product. Also ask you physician for a prescription for one Reglan 10mg tab to be taken an hour before drinking the GoLytely. This will help empty your stomach contents faster and reduce the bloated feeling.

What is cultured ivory?

The term "Cultured Ivory" is a misnomer. A cultured pearl is made by a perfectly spherical plastic bead placed between the living oyster and its protective shell. This irritates the oyster, who then adds minute layers of a pearlescent coatings to the bead. A natural pearl forms around a piece of sand, and can take many years to reach a good size. A cultured pearl can reach the same size in less than two years.

Cultured ivory is nothing but a fancy name for 100% polymer resin, aka plastic. Some retailers would lead you to believe that cultured ivory is made from a thick liquid or paste containing ground ivory & bone, which is then shaped, hardened, and carved or scribed. No manufacturer ever made such a claim. There is no ivory in cultured ivory.

Authentic Victorian-era scrimshaw was scribed onto true ivory, in the form of whale & hippo teeth, and walrus & elephant tusks. Modern scrimshanders do the same today. In the 1970s, several companies started mass-producing resin repros of scrimshawed whale teeth, etc., in which the design image was built into the metal mold, and impressed into the hot plastic poured into the tooth-shaped mold. Tens of thousands of each design were made. All such items are called "Fakeshaw". Other terms used to describe the same are faux scrimshaw, museum-quality reproduction, and scrimshawed cultured ivory.

What are the advantages of using ivory?

I am a pianist and teacher, and I like ivory for the reason it is textured. The texture allows a sense of "grip" of the finger on the key, which is quite nice compared to the more slippery plastic used in all pianos nowadays. I also suspect that the ivory is slightly porous, giving oils and sweat a place to go other than sit right on the surface of the keys. I wish there were a closer substitute to this experience that did not involve elephants or walruses, or any animals for that matter. It should be possible to emulate this if a piano maker were so inclined.
