treeseed commented on the word paas
Paas is a brand of Easter egg dye.
The original PAAS Easter egg dye was invented by an American named William Townley.
Mr. Townley was an owner of a drug store in Newark, New Jersey, where he concocted recipes for home products. In the late 1800s, he developed a recipe for Easter egg dye tablets of five different colors.
The original price of each tablet was five cents and customers would make the dye by combining the tablets with water and vinegar.
Townley eventually renamed his business the PAAS Dye Company. The name PAAS comes from “Passen,�? the word that the Pennsylvania Dutch people used for Easter.
