Thanks, Ed. Yes, spray in a commercial can. I usually date things like
this. I shop at so many different stores; sometimes I put the name and
place of the store, too so I can find it again. My next can, I'll be sure
to do just that.

This situation sorta reminds me of Nick Stellino whom I saw the other day on
a program talking about aceto balsamic. He said that his grandmother had
bought a bottle years ago, giving little portions out over the years. He
said that when she died, there was still 1/3 bottle left and on any big
occasion, they will pour a 'drop' in honor of grandma.
Actually I wondered how big that bottle was. Surely bigger than the dink
bottle that we find now for $100.
