GK: Save money on gasoline by making gas at home with the Fuel-O-Matic blender. All you need are leftovers from the fridge: (SFX FOR EACH) cherry Jell-O, buttermilk, creamed corn, watermelon pickles - toss 'em into the blender, turn it on (WHIRR), and in just seconds it's ready to pour it into your gas tank (GLUG GLUG GLUG), and you're all ready to go. Leftover pot roast? (SFX) You bet. Balsamic vinegar. (POUR) Maple syrup (SFX). Mustard. (SFX) Into the blender it goes (BLENDER). Does it really work? Let's find out. Here's a car running on ordinary gasoline (ENGINE MISSING, KNOCKING) and now let's add the additive (POURING) and try it again (START, REV, WHIRR). Do it yourself gas. From Fuel-O-Matic.
