    Describes the problems associated with 'Portable Soup', which was dropped 'though promising, like most new inventions'. Announces 'Portable Milk', a solidified material that contains the 'equivalent of six gallons of fluid milk', but is sceptical of the invention, calling a halt to the rage for '"Portable" This, That, and Everything'.
