Hi, Anne, nice to see you are still hanging about here!

I think your can was bad. Take the little button nozzle off and put it under a faucet
with very hot water and see if that makes it work better. If not, take it back to the
store and ask to try again. Most grocery stores will replace items the customer
complains about. I have received replacements for a bad Cure 81 ham, for milk
that got too warm during the delivery and soured long before the expiration date,
etc., no questions asked.
