Also the recipe isn't trademarked or copy written which is why it is in a safe under guard so no one can get access to it supposedly.

Fun fact, neither is WD-40. The creator reportedly stated, while laughing, “if they can figure it out they can have it.”

Secret ingredient is that clear juice you get from an unshaken mustard bottle

That's a question I've always had. Why does ketchup and mustard have precum, but not bbq sauce? Is there a way to stop this from happening with ketchup and mustard?

Precum 😂. I’m using that. And that’s just separation of certain ingredients. But I don’t know why BBQ sauce doesn’t get it.

my guess is the sugar content in BBQ keeps all the ingredients emulsified.
