In similar vein, I was looking for some icing sugar in the local
supermarket today and noted the claim that it was "gluten free"!
I mean, really... Some sugar has gluten in it? :-)

[However, to be fair to the marketing droids, it *is* true that
something called "icing sugar mix" contains flour from undefined and
probably variable sources (no doubt depending on price) and that stuff
very likely *does* contain gluten. But to an old bugger like me, that
contaminated stuff is *not* "icing sugar". Icing sugar is *sugar*,
pure and simple.]

Cheers, Phred.
