first time trying it, clumpety clump clump.  I had to spend at least 45 seconds and dirty a knife to break it up.

    Maybe that particular jar was packed in 1947....?

    EDIT - and the label does say "Where America Comes together", clumps are coming together.

    Musta been in Texas. I have heard that "they needed killin' " is often an adequate defense. Or maybe Los Angeles, murderers are acquitted all the time, O.J., Robert Blake, Snoop. Even the Menendez brothers had a hung jury the first time.

    Looks like I won't be trying that one.
    Thanks for saving me $3.50.

    DP, Oakridge, and Plowboys here.  Clump free, quality rubs.

    Y'all can fight over the garbage can rubs.  I'll watch, LOL.

    from dizzy's own info:

    "Tightly cap your Dizzy Pig® rubs and store in a cool dark place for longest life. Our rubs may cake and clump with time, especially in humid weather conditions or with age. Our rubs are bottled immediately after grinding, when essential oils — the lifeblood of

    the spices are released. Using
    pre-ground spices and chemical
    anti caking agents would certainly
    help the blends flow freely from
    the bottle...but we
    ve decided to
    keep our products natural to
    assure the freshest flavor. A few
    gentle taps on the table, and
    some shaking usually breaks up
    clumping. For difficult caking
    revive the rub with a quick pulse
    in a small food processor or
    grinder, and return to
    shaker bottle. "


    Sounds like a "garbage can rub" by "one and done" standards.

    ZERO issues from any of their rubs, and I've tried pretty much their entire lineup.

    I'm a hardcore Dizzy Pig customer/user.

    Sometimes some of their rubs will "gently" clump but nothing a rap against my palm hasn't been able to correct.

    Guess I've been lucky in the last decade.  Haven't had any clumps, in any of their offerings during this time. 

    The Holy Clump was far beyond any sort of declumping treatment.  That is why the plug was pulled.  

    Shakeweight, knife, kitty litter scoop, gunsmith hammer, food processor.....all your doing at that critical declumping decision making point is prolonging the torture, inedible..I mean inevitable.

    I put rice in all my jars and bags of spices.  When they are all used up I cook the rice.  Yum! and clump free.
