Yeah, it also tends to be reddish, which was ruled out earlier too. D'oh.

I withdraw my question, if I may.

However, might most creams not be considered solid-ish at room temperature too? I wonder if 'not a solid' actually means 'obviously fluid' rather than 'spreadable'.

1) Is it manmade? Yes
2) Is it Zarban's medication? God, I hope not
3) Is it used to build/make something else? No, it is not a tool
4) Do you have to suck and blow to operate it? No, it does not require operation
5) Just like the respirator, is it something a 'Prepper' would store in his fallout bunker? Only for sentimental reasons, not utilitarian ones
6) Does it require a power source? No
7) Is it a fictional object? No
8) Is it a representation of someone or something? Yes
9) Is it a work of art? No, I wouldn't say so. Although it is artful, it is not something you would hang on your wall, nor is its intended purpose to be regarded merely as artistic
10) Is it ever bigger than a normal-sized car? No, nor does it vary in size
11) Is it used in/for any form of entertainment? Although it has undoubtedly been seen in movies, books and on TV, it is not itself intended to be used in or for entertainment
12) Is it something you might give to a child? It's not a toy, but, sure, why not?
13) Is it money? Oo, I like your thinking. But, no, it's not money, nor could it plausibly be used as currency, since it's not that hard to duplicate with the right materials.
14) Is it stamps? No. (Do we have stamp collectors here? If so, I did not know that.)
15) Is it the Prime Minister of Canada? No, and I hope you don't think I would encourage giving the Prime Minister of any nation to a child
16) Does it have to do with one of these: martial arts, movies, space, or music? Yes, it has something to do with space
17) Is it something that can only be bought in a first-world store or can it be bought anywhere (i.e. poor developing countries)? Well, it's fairly inexpensive, could be posted in an envelope, and is made from materials that are unsophisticated, so I guess it's available to most places
12b) Is it a recreational toy? No
18) Is it made out of paper? No
19) Can it be folded and/or bended? Yes, it certainly can be
20) Mission patch. Final Answer Well, let's see...
