It used to happen by accident until my state at least forced everyone to
pasteurize the cider.

I'm not sure my dad ever had a Chevy back then.  My parents didn't meet

The aloe in the real thing ought not.  The glycerin... not so sure.

It depends on the singer.  I used to manage to push out a little volume
here and there and my operatically trained friends can really crank it up.
