"There is a wicked pretense that one has been informed. But no
such thing has truly occurred! A mere slogan, an empty litany.
No arguments are heard, no evidence is weighed. It isn't news at
all, only a source of amusement for idlers." (Gibson-Sterling,
The Difference Engine)

I believe that the sugar based grits are used because they don't
corrode the roads or vehicles as much as a strong salt based one
(rather than it purely being a cost cutting measure).
I've never noticed the 'sheen' it produces, but we may still be using
salt around here. It does also have other side effects though http://
