RE: Techron: Can I see some ID?

["Rob Winchell" <rbw@avs.com>]

This could be some sort of bizarre "inhaling" thing the kids are doing with
Techron. I know when I worked in a Costco-type warehouse store, people were
not allowed to buy the charger canisters for whipped cream without ID, since
kids would buy cases of them and do "Whippets".

So, car Techron get you high? Maybe that's why they are pulling it!
