weeelll ... 1970-ish is "about" 30 some years ago. They were canning the
stuff at the pick up point in Waltham. I do remember that reading the can
was quite a Hoot. Lots of stupid data to laugh about. Even the can was
cheap, it didn't make good wind chimes when empty and falling out of the
trees.  My sister was the one who picked up the van loads for her bikey
crew. I went along 'cause I had the one ton 4WD truck to deliver it into the
camps after racing.
