Oh, of course... there was always Karo Syrup in the house when I was a
kid.  I was born in 1955, and my baby book contains the prescription pad
sheet on which our family doc wrote out my "formula"... it consisted of
evaporated milk, Karo Syrup and Poly-Vi-Sol vitamin drops.  Doesn't that
just sound YUMMY?  Blech.
