I find it funny that there’s an ad above with a Kosher phone with a hechsher from the star K. Why on earth does the phone hechsher need to come from a food kashrus agency? Nobody eats the phone!
Nobody eats major appliances either, yet the Star K gives hashgacha to some. Obviously there are halachic issues with appliances on Shabbos and Yom Tov. Phones are a somewhat different issue — there’s nothing inherently assur about a phone. The issue seems to be how it’s used (texting to find out zmanim is OK, texting to flirt is bad; Internet to listen to shiurim is good, Internet pornography is bad). The whole kosher phone phenomenon is based on the premise that given the opportunity, people will behave badly (which may very well be a valid premise).
In israel, even sandwhich bags even have a hecksher, along with many other bizzare things. they think more people will buy them that way.
Shopping613- sandwich bangs can have a non-kosher coating, so it would make sense to have a hechsher that this particular one does not have it.
Not kidding.
Seen in Israel- Bathroom tissue with hechsher. Possibly because not produced on Shabbos, but not sure. Anybody else ever see this?
my favorite was kosher lpesach water in a yated advertisement – the funniest part was that the teuda in the ad was expired.
golfer, Of course. so it can be used on shabbos, without tearing.
Sandwich bags and tupperware have hechshers here, too. I was in Waldbaum’s tonight and saw America Choice’s freezer bags with an OU.
Perhaps the idea is that on this type of phone there is a built-in APP “censor chip” that prevents people from accessing any really inappropriate things on the phone.
I eat phones. Mendy Pellin showed me how to dip my iPhone in honey. Kosher honey. I really ought to try chocolate…. 🙂
Please be advised the new kitkat 4.4 is not kosher
