Man, you've effectively and correctly dispelled a myth about the relative expesiveness of grease, and suddenly all the marketing hype I subscribed to when I bought my £6 tube of Finish Line Teflon seems so irrelevant.
Can someone here offer the same advice about beer? I keep drinking the cheap stuff, but it does nothing for me and I always end up with a brutal headache.
