Did not know Amazon had such a big following for auto oils and so on. Guess if you live in the middle of nowhere, its nice to have someone to UPS it to you.

Homemade pretzels anyone? Probably nice to munch on some while waiting for the last of the oil to drain.

Because Red Devil lye is hard to find.....and I've never heard anyone refer to it as "homemade pretzels". Weird....

Wait, we talking about Soap, Meth or sewer cleaners....?

Isn't lye used to make bio-diesel?

The second most popular item in the motor oil section is a gallon of Lucas. A gallon. Yikes.

Brushing the dough with a solution of lye is what gives pretzels that deep brown color

Seldom one for lotions and potions mechanical miracles they nevertheless remain popular and profitable!

Forrest Lucas invests truckloads of dough in motorsports sponsorships, etc. Seems like a decent gent but it’s unlikely I’ll ever buy his stuff.

Red Devil Lye is "spiked" with aluminum or magnesium shavings, making it unsuitable to meth mfgrs., among other uses. I'm betting all hardware stores have spiked lye.

Food grade lye is #1, probably picked up because nobody can go down to the local hardware store to buy pure lye anymore.

As for Lucas: It is huge in the Pilots and Flying J and other truck stops. Go in one sometime and see what sells, unbelievable. But if you are in a big rig, it is convenient ...been there and done it...you just cannot get an 18 wheeler conveniently in an AZ store and Wally World is your best bet, but usually as they say, you are always pressed for time .
