I don't know what lifelines I have left. I know there was a Life Savers soda and, thanks to "American Pickers" I know that Smith & Wesson manufactured bicycles. If I have my 50:50 I'll use it and hope A and B aren't left. I might risk it on the chance that people might not want to buy a chewing gum that tastes like soap.
