  • FLOTSAM could be empty Fetchmea® bottles floating on the tide, while JETSAM could be full Fetchmea® bottles that were thrown overboard to prevent the boat from sinking before the FLOTSAM was created. Speaking from experience...

      MrsDK Too much Fetchmea® flotsam can lead to hitting things in the water, which leads to Fetchmea® jetsam.

  • Flotsam is what floats on the water after taking a bath & Jetsam is the milky substance that spurts
