		<description>Just to come back to this, I could put the barrel in the cellar, with a door to the street, and then a lube tanker could come along and refill it. Weekly.</description>

		<description>Obvious, not-so-fun fact: Every industrial product, typically intended for re-packaging and re-sale, comes in barrels -- from powdered garlic to perfumes to dishwashing detergent.  


I once heard a lecture from a Sears executive who based his entire speech, on the true nature of the retail industry, on how Oil of Olay (the face moisturizer that people believe actually works) is produced for barrels, as seen above.    

Related nerdy quote from Jim Clark, &quot;The only way I know how to make money is bundling and unbundling.&quot;  (I once based an entire lecture on that.)</description>

		<description>You&#039;d think that, but I ordered one of these, and found the quantity was not exactly what was specified: there was only 54 gallons 126 ounces, not the full 55 gallons as advertised.  My whole weekend was ruined.</description>

		<description>As the person who wrote the porcupine review several years ago, I&#039;d like to confirm to all concerned that the porcupines were fine. Eventually. We managed to disentangle the beasts with a combination of spam, astroglide, and a high-speed centrifuge. 

Unfortunately, there was no way to save the quills. We trucked out 2.5 million quills to Yucca Mountain and the hidden landfill of ET cartridges. There they will rest -- silent testament to the folly of this product. </description>

		<description>You can make your own considerably cheaper if you just buy enough instant Jello to make a thin soup. Cheaper yet if you can convince your boyfriend that he&#039;s really missing the experience of a lifetime if he doesn&#039;t buy you 100 packs of Jello and quick! ;=)  </description>

		<description>If anyone was curious about the utility here ya go:

55 gallons is a little over 14,000 tablespoons. I&#039;m usually a 1 tablespoon guy for jacking off or vaginal intercourse and somewhere around 2 for anal intercourse. 

I think in this quantity, however, some sort of pump would be needed. But you&#039;re still going to lose a goodly amount just due to it clinging to the drum. Maybe a long-handled silicone spatula would be needed also.</description>
