    Could it be Coka Cola and the recipe is secret or is it really a common product repackaged?
    My guess would be a starch and sizing combo based on the description I just read.

    It's greatly over rated anyway! the dollar store sizing works just as well.

    Thus why I don't! :)
    I beg and plead when friends go State side, to bring me back Magic Sizing which we can't get here. We can buy Spray Starch, but I don't like it's flaky-ness!

    Wonder can we get this other non-aerosol at WalMart??
    I'm a visual person ... would someone please take a picture and post, so I know what I'm looking for? thanks!!

    Whenever I buy Mary Ellen's I buy the Lavendar;but the current bottle just does not have the lavendar scent like the bottle before. Wonder what is with that? Not buying it anymore if it can't smell like lavendar. Magic Sizing does me fine for $.97 a can at H.E.B. or Wally Mart, that's equivalent to about 8 cans as opposed to one of Mary Ellen's.

    I just bought my first bottle, but I can`t remember where I got it, please check back with my later as I have a good friend that knows every thing. She will tell me when she comes home.
