No doubt.  :)

True... and not something I'm that familiar with...  I wasn't too
impressed with pig kidneys the time I tried to cook them... :)

True.  I'd have to have a look at the box to be sure what else is in
there... I'm pretty sure there's a few more things... but probably not
overlapping with the Pelican Punch.

Not necessarily... the ingredients lists have always been on the sides
of the boxes of the teabags...  someone with an old box could have got
the list as easily...  :)

Hard to say...  I have similar wonders all the time when things I think
are really good simply vanish, as though no one else liked it at all...

ttyl        neb

... I am positive that a definite maybe is probably in order.
