For your friend who has everything... now available at amazon.com:

I think what I like best is the customer feedback:

"I bought a can of this about 4.5 billion years ago, give or take a few million years, but when I went to use it today I noticed only half of it was still in the can. I swear I put the lid on tight. I'd give it more stars if it came in a better package." - Jimbo Jones (Chicago)

"Does any one know if this comes on the 3 oz travel size that is TSA approved? " - Rebecca (Seattle)

Oh man, this review is the best:
When mixed with Tuscan whole milk I gained the power to control deceased woodland creatures. I am now in the process of raising an army of undead wombats to overthrow the government from deep within my volcanic lair. Soon you all will bow down before the wombat king!

If you've not seen the hundreds of comic reviews for Tuscan Whole Milk, you must check them out.
