Your best bet is a grocery store, on the same aisle as laundry detergent. If

Big yellow box -- looks like their baking soda box, only bigger.

You gotta be careful, though. The big yellow box of Arm & Hammer Detergent

DAMHIKT.

Hah! there are *worse* mistakes you can make.

Like making gravy, deciding it needs a little thickening, reaching in the
cupboard for the _yellow_ box of Argo Corn Starch, and getting the A&H box
instead.

All things considered, it was amazing that that particular disaster had never
