Heh. I'll have to try it for cleaning the bunny's litter box. (Rabbit
urine is alkaline, not acidic, so vinegar is the thing...) But the
normal 5% seems to work okay.

It's definitely sold as "pickling vinegar" though. I wonder if it's a
regional thing. Anyone from Ontario or the Maritimes? Do you also see
the 7% on the store shelves?
