Shipping Info:

Item will be shipped in accordance with Postal Service activity limits specified in Publication 52.

As usual, the customer reviews are the best:

I bought a can of this about 4.5 billion years ago, give or take a few million years, but when I went to use it today I noticed only half of it was still in the can. I swear I put the lid on tight. I’d give it more stars if it came in a better package.

Dear sirs, When I informed my wife that we were low on “yellow Cake” , I had expected her to get more “Duncan Hines”. On further examination and with a little trial and error, I have found my baking to be much lighter and fluffier. I would have only thought something like this would work on “The Simpson’s”. My hat is off to you (along with all my hair and most of my skin). An excellent product all around.

The Bush administration, with help from Congress, AIPAC, and an ersatz Fourth Estate, has accomplished its mission to freedom-nudge both Afghanistan and Iraq back to the stone age, denying the bad guys the infrastructure and electricity needed to access the internets, with the intention of purchasing large quantities of uranium and bonus free shipping and the added convenience of “one-click” check-out that only a quality outfit like Amazon can offer.
