It's also a fast mover. Unlike breast, lung or colon cancer where the
patient can hang on for years.

I'm pretty much with you. Partly because I don't stock cold cereals.

Amazon US and WallyWorld both come in at about 24c/oz. The only time 
they are ever in my home is when the supply at my workplace has reached
its "sell by" date and labelled "manager dispose". Rather than bin them
my store manager allows employees to eat or take them home.

Sounds decent. I've never seen the original HP sauce. Just parsed the
recipe(s). But it looks decent. Heinz, ConAgra, et al have a lot to 
answer for in effing with decent products to enhance their bottom 
lines by a few pence.
