Riddle: "Slow down for a second, take a picture of a jar of lick, send
it in and tell us what's in the jar."

"Lick" is a term from the days of cowboy chuck wagons. It means "molasses."

"Beans were Pecos Strawberries. Molasses was 'lick,' and 'pooch' was a
mixture of cold biscuits and canned tomatoes. Cowboys referred to salt
pork as Kansas City fish, and to flour gravy as Texas butter."

"For supper they cowboys ate lots of beef mostly steak, they had the
biscuits, potatoes, onions, beans, caned tomatoes, and molasses which
was called lick for dessert. If they were lucky the cook would cook an
apple pie or an raisin pie with, of course, coffee."

Which of course, proves itself out, as the first part of the riddle is: "Slow
down for a second ..." and the old saying goes: "Slow as molasses...".
