My answer to Edwin Skau and Dan Goldstein...I'd have to say a cold brew
after work is my vote for a "knowledge product." I get lots smarter after a
couple, and darn near genius if it's a good homebrew. If it weren't for
"Information Technology," we'd still be slamming fermented Yak milk.
(Hey, it's early in the morning and I haven't had my first cup of
coffee....)
