No these are not burnt sausages nor are they super skinny potatoes. These tubey things are used pantyhose stuffed with human hair and animal fur (of course!). Evidently they create super absorbent oil booms. Matter of Trust, a San Francisco-based nonprofit collects locks from over 300,000 salons and barbershops throughout North and South America, China, and India and creates these “booms.” You can read more about the Gulf Coast spill and see where you can donate your hair, fur or pantyhose here and here.
