"Shiny bright eyes, auroral skin, strong hair! Luck can turn a human into a different person. And also animals, just as well as their products, can benefit from feeling lucky. Only plants are not believed to be lucky at all. Because they have no facial expression, no brain and can not speak. Even so it is already proven that harmful influences (pesticides and pests) can make a plant feel unluckily stressed and forced to release brackish substances in order of self-defence. Thats why we need to make our plants lucky at first, if we like to have healthy plants with healthy substances for our own lucky body and soul! Tweedlewheedle tries to follow this 'one hand washes the other'-agenda, while resolving the typical human believe in sympton treatments with a new effective detection method for stress causes, connecting not only the language but also the needs of plants and humans with each other!"

Product Description
'Tweedlewheedle' is a living companion that works on its own. 'Tweedlewheedle' combines the genetic characteristics of super-sensitive mimosa, highly efficient tobacco, and cleverly treated human neurons. The capital messenger substances of a plant are mapped and delivered to your brain via tiny electronic impulses. Do not swallow! Main ingredients are tobacco and mimosa, which can cause diarrhea and short-term intoxication.

Technical Description
kokoromo', our all-in-one product, contains only the best mossy abilities. For this purpose, 'kokoromo' is engineered out of four special moss species in our synbio labs via complex knock-out treatments. This allows us to first target the particular skills required from the moss genes and to derive them from their genetical modules, so that a new moss type can be assembled in the final stage and synthesized by our treehugger-scientists.
