[pct-l] PCT Food

I wanted to like them.  Good calories/ounce ratio.  Really good
pricing.  Francis Tapon loves them.

I ordered their sampler.  They just didn't appeal to me.  Some
appealed less than others - the lemon flavored one reminded me that I
hadn't polished my furniture in a while.

By all means give them a try, I'm just suggesting that you try the
sampler first.

(Jeff, sorry about the duplicate message.)
