Yes, I have to admit I have no idea on PT/PD either! The closest Google got
me was
"The nonchondritic Pt/Pd ratios and Pt enrichment in the island-arc mantle
xenoliths". Or worse
"A comparative investigation was done on the interaction of glycerol using
polyaniline supported Pt nanoparticles, Pt-Pd bimetallic nanoparticles"

Certainly would explain the crunchiness on your waffles.

Cheers
