The real "duh" here would be spending $8 on something that
consistently comes in last place in taste tests, wouldn't arrive for
at least 4 days, based on your advice <laugh>, and that I wouldn't
use for another 15 years? No, I think I'll stick to making an even
better product from real sugar, real vanilla, fresh milk, and
without preservatives at home and for a mere $.20 whenever that urge
strikes.
