It might be that it's been sitting too long. The bottles of the stuff in
the stores just don't look right. This morning I went to the store and
checked it out again. This time I shook the bottle. This turns the
product into what I expected - an opaque liquid with granular particles
that coats the bottle when you move the air bubble around. I bought a
bottle and I have great hopes that it will live up to my non-Newtonian
expectations. Ha ha.
