It used to come out of the bottle brown and fairly thick, I gave up buying the real stuff 25 years ago, we always joked that it looked like something that was a byproduct of the Newton sewage plant, we used to also joke that about the poor quality rubber hoses that MT used as they must have been made of some waste products from the factory. There would have been no other reason that a drain hose would have needed to be that thick and stiff.
