Spike is also a powder found at your local supermarket, a seasoning touted as 'the original all purpose all natural seasoning'. On the label are such random culinary items as watermelon, corn, beans, and squash; things i hope arent in the product itself. Due to the somewhat addicting flavor, i would guess its actually just MSG pellets of varying colors. According to the label it contains such flowery items as 'mellow toasted onion', 'ripe white pepper' (do other seasons use rotten or unripe pepper???), 'sweet Hungarian paprika, and 'a delightful bouquet of the best oregano'. I guess they were all out of unpleasant bouquets of mediocre oregano. I guess the delightful bouquets paid off though cuz the stuff aint too bad.
