Doh! I forgot AUM, the miracle substance from Robert Anton Wilson’s _Illuminatus!_ trilogy. I’d love to get me some of _that_, but it was hard enough finding a reliable supplier of Alamout Black.

Damn you **Speaker**.

I will have to then nominate _Eversomuch More-So_.  
_Eversomuch More-So_ is invisible! And what’s more, _Eversomuch More-So_ cannot be smelld. You cannot feel it, and you cannot see it

_Eversomuch More-So_ works on everything. _Everything_! It will make a rose smell ever so much more lovely, curly hair ever so much more curly, beautiful music ever so much more beautiful. Yes, my friends, surely you are all intelligent enough to realize the far-reaching possibilities of _Eversomuch More-So_! I comes to you in this convenient can, put up under the most sanitary conditions by the famous Doctor Forscyth Eversomuch in his great open-air laboratory. One can - yes, one single can - lasts a lifetime. After purchasing one can of _Eversomuch More-So_, a man can rest assured that he will never again want for another can of _Eversomuch More-So_. It will keep just as fresh, just as free from impurities, just as potent inside the can as the day it was packed. And now for the amazing price of fifty cents - only four bits, one half of one dollar - a lifetime can of _Eversomuch More-So_ is yours. This is one of the good things of the earth, men. Now don’t miss the golden opportunity to own a convenient can of it for this amazing price of fifty cents.

Anyone who knows where _Eversomuch More-So_ comes from wins my respect.

And a cookie.
