	I used to work in a resturant as a cook, and all lettuce
	(and sometimes other salad items) were all soaked in some
	stuff that went by the brand name of "Snow White", (the spelling
	might have been different (sno white)) which was some sort
	of preservative.  It would take those small brown spots out,
	and help the lettuce stay crisp and fresh longer.  I don't
	know what was in the stuff, but it was mixed at a ratio of
	about 2 tablespoons to 5-10 gallons of water, and after it
	had soaked for a while, the lettece was thoughly rinsed before
	use.  If it wasn't rinsed, you could taste the stuff, which
	didn't taste that great.
