.Oh. Er. Sorry. Someone around here has a limp sense of humor....me.
I DO remember, in SOME fanfiction--not mine, not louisev's that one of them put "vasaline" on the week's list. OPretty recenttly, too.
There was another with elk lard, too...
NO: I misunderstood the joke. I thought it was as if he had said "K-Y Jell\y---what is this stuff?" In other words, he was commenting as if they had asked for a tin of mandarin oranges, or pate de fois gras, or something. Not that it didn't exist yet, but that it was out of HIS PURCHASING DOMAIN.
Thus, I thought the fact that it didn't exist yet was anachronistic...
Get it? Doesn't matter...
