   Does this do much good?

   "Does it do much good?" That's a good question. The STIR/SHAKEN name   
   of this miracle cure is an obvious reference to Ian Fleming's mythical   
   superspy James Bond, who ordered his martinis "Shaken and not   
   stirred," and for that reason I suspect that the Friendly Candy   
   Company knows it's only a theoretical solution that either doesn't   
   work at all, or which can be easily bypassed.   
      
   Time will tell.
