Yeah, I read about the reschedule of the approval, but it still sounds like a bogus product. How does one powderize alcohol? You could freeze it and maybe grind it up real fine in, say, a pepper mill, but it would liquify as soon as it got above -114°C.

I still claim hoax.

You, sir, have it right in re alcohol content being Vanagon content and I thank you for the clarification.
