Gee, I think the bottle of Wishbone cost me $2. The price of oil and
vinegar is much higher. Here comes the debate. Which oil? Which
vinegar? How much time do you spend dicing the onion, garlic and bell
pepper?

I wanted a simple, inexpensive, just pour it over and be done with it
marinade. That's exactly what I got without any fuss.

Am I recommending everyone use this product? No. This is not a product
endorsement. It simply met my needs at the time. Tasted good, too.
