As I recall, the brown stuff is supposed to be the worst kind of mulch, (as
distinct from cheese dip). That's why Rufferto is so upset at the prospect
of touching it, let alone trying to eat it.  Hold on a sec...

OK, here's the poem Mark wrote on the box:

Not long ago the one named Groo was wandering around
And came upon a patch of the most unpleasant ground
His dog cried out for it to free his heor's lower half
And Groo yelled "Do not mock me with your silly, bubbling laugh!"
BBut soon he sunk down into it to just around his waste
And found it wasn't cheesedip from it's most unpleasant taste.
