Seriously! @stella_dixon is onto something, it really messes with you.

You used to think it was just boring rock too, didn't you? Seeing it in action totally changes how you look at it.

Totally swear by that stuff. I had the same slow drip under my bathroom sink last month and a few wraps of plumber's tape on the threads stopped it cold. The key is wrapping it the right way, you know, following the direction you'll screw the fitting on. Saved me a huge headache and probably a bigger water bill. I keep a roll in my junk drawer now just in case.

After my radish disaster, val_henderson's bottled water advice finally clicked.
