What? That makes no sense whatever. When I started the ketchup thread, I
did ask for foods that use a lot of ketchup. And I asked about jalapenos in
the jalapeno thread. But here? I said that I wished there was a sweetener
I could use for lemonade. How is wishing something asking for help? Are
their Genies here? I don't think so.
