Oh yeah, the salted stuff will make you sick. I used to drive a taxi in a
fairly small town. I took a customer on sunday to the local grocery store
where he purchased at least two bottles of cooking wine. About five days
later I picked him up from the hospital in pretty sorry shape. The
discharge nurse actually brought out one of those bed cover pads and covered
the seat in the car. Gross.
