    - i did not know this. i never use it, but still, good to know. -- nm - Andie Oct 5, 12:03
- doesn't it have an unpleasant taste? -- nm - loosilu Oct 5, 11:49

- where can I buy a version of this that doesn't cost a lot? walmart? -- nm - amanda jones Oct 5, 11:48 4

        it's been a while, but i'm pretty sure i got 2 cookie sheet sized ones in a package for $12 (?). - Andie Oct 5, 12:01
