Huh.  I worked for a VW dealer in Atlanta, and we used plenty of
Dumdum.  I always figured it was a slang term, as I never saw the box
it came in.

What I call Dumdum was sheets of wax paper with eight or so rods of
soft, semi-sticky sealant like modeling clay side by side.     Looked
like a box of skinny black pencils.
