Walmart Glycerin?

[Rhapsodies Fire]

We have a few bottles...and we've been cutting some of our stout juices with it for several months. Haven't had any problems with it. Is this the one you're talking about?

Humco
Thats the one.

So, is the Wilton brand less desirable? Why? Is it less pure or made to less exacting standards? Or am I going to get varying opinions?

I ask because I'm new to mixing, and I've seen a number of people who use each.

I've never seen the Wilton brand.
Walmart sells the Humco, thats where I got mine.

Well, Walmart also sells the Wilton brand. It's in the cake-making section of the craft area. Incidentally, Pat Catan's also sells the Wilton brand, and often Lorann flavors as well - right in the same aisle. What I'd like to know is whether there's a real difference between the two as far as quality or something else goes. It sounds to me like it's really just an unknown gamble either way. You either bet on pharmaceutical grade or food grade. Is there sound research to favor either one?


So I just found and read the post about USP and VG. It's very good stuff, but it doesn't necessarily answer whether there is any proof that humco is any safer than wilton brand or vice versa. Again, it seems to me to be just a gamble either way.

I laugh.

But then again I often laugh when someone is really sticking their foot all the way down the back of their throat.

You may want to do a bit more research before you continue this line of misinformation. Markarich159 is very correct.

And so I am glad I have to type this instead of say it, having both feet in your mouth doesn't leave much room to talk, sir you are a gentleman and a scholar I stand very corrected and please forgive my ignorance...
