It must have been an administrative ruling - it caught stores completely off -guard:  one day they were selling it, the next it was cleared from the shelves and in the back room not-for-sale.

I've used this for years with satisfactory results, and was looking to re-up my stash, but my usual source, RuralKing is now refusing to ship to California (their cust. serv. wouldn't say why, but they're a guns and ammo dealer and might be making a political statement as apparently no other states are being boycotted).  Anyways, I found it at Walmart and they had a '2-pack' for $8.76 ($4.38/qt), which is about as good a price as you can get--'regular' price is over $7/qt--plus free shipping.  I thought this might be a goof on their website, but I took a chance and ordered; and the email confirmation showed 24@$4.38 ea.  Maybe they'll claim a screw-up, and try not to honor the order, but I thought I'd pass this 'deal' along:
