I bought a can of Betty Crocker Cupcake Icing chocolate.
Impatient people can skip the story and go stright to the amazing part**
It was 54.99, marked down to 2.49. Usually the half-price stuff looks
like new but this had no cap and none of the 4 nozzles to make different designs.
When I got it home I noticed that the clear nozzle was already full of chocolate, which meant someone had used it already, but I figured, Even
if they sucked it directly out of the nozzle (and who would do that?),
that would only adulterate the first quarter inch.
So I used it. I don't have cupcakes so I had to eat it straight. It
wasn't very sweet and you had to push really hard on the nozzle tube,
and still it came out very slowly, about 10 seconds an inch.
It took a week but I soldiered on and eventually finished the can.
**But what's amazing is that it's been 10 days to 2 weeks and still
every day a little more will spurt out when I press the nozzle sideways. Sometimes it launches from the tube and lands 2 inches away. Once,
twice, maybe 3 spurts, and then nothing until tomorrow. And again the
day after that. What's going on in there? what is making new
propellant?
I can't find it in chocolate but here it is in green.

It's $16.40. Why is it so expensive? Maybe other cans were not so
slow. This couldnt' be the original price. The supermarket I bought it
at was selling it for $5 originally. Red now is only $10. white is 2
cans for $31. No, it's Amazon that is high.
Instacart has it in white for $4.29, and other places under $6.
