"Canadian Tire has marvel mystery oil on sale at 40% off."

When I was a kid, I would mow this old guys yard, and he would have me add
Marvels to the lawnmower fuel!!!  It came in a cool red, black, and white 1
quart can.  On the can it recommended that you put it in just about
everything...he did.  When I stopped into Canadian Tire a few weeks back to
buy some (I didn't), all I could find was a little (half pint, maybe)
plastic bottle of Marvels Mystery Oil Gas Additive, looked like a STP
bottle.  It wasn't called top cylinder lube as I remember it.  It had one of
those annoying foil seals on it, so I couldn't see it (isn't it red?) or
smell it (probably would scare the sales people anyhow..."huffer in aisle
4")  Is this the same stuff?  I'm suspicious 'cause I've found with other
products even though the labels may be the same, it's different stuff, made
by a different company.  A1 steak sauce is a glaring example.  Same label,
two different companies, two different tastes...
