In that case, I will have to assume she had experienced dealing with
Julie and knew that she is factually challenged.

FWIW. I do not have a cake mix in the house. There has not been one here
for more than 10 years, and not many before that. We really do not eat

jar of pasta sauce or can of soup or baked beans. Even those were rarely
used.
