I work in retail so I'm familiar with how it works. If a product does
not "turn" enough times in a given span (variable business to business)
the shelf space is given to something else and the old product put on 
clearance. 

I *always* check the clearance/markdown display when I go down the store.
I've gotten some tremenjous bargains that way.

All three are experienced moochers and two are chile-heads. All will 
gladly pre-wash and food container they can access.  Bv)=

And very filling. Especially if I have toast and jam with it.

I knew a Hungarian guitar picker named Gabor Szabo. My friend Laszlo Acs
brought him to one of our monthly confuser get-togethers. Turns out he
was a well-known picker with several records on the shelves.
