I did. Was still $20 shipping and they gave me option of paying $50 for freeze protection. WTH....
When does it arrive so you can share your, “whiff” test results?! For $20, it should come today!

UPS ground. If it isn't the "stuff" I live 5 minutes from a service center and I'll finagle the answer out of them. They owe me a bunch of wheels and expensive stuff so I gotta get over there one of these days anyways.

"Smell-o-vision" would really come in handy for this sort of thing...

I bit the bullet and ordered the 5620 glass cleaner. It arrived in a box marked with a warning that it will freeze. It doesn’t really state that it is for use as a wiper fluid. Reads more like it is a general purpose/ surface glass cleaner. I’ll use it for that and keep searching.

The smell is similar, but not quite the same “listerine” smell we’ve all come to know and love.

I wouldn’t be surprised if its a mix of different ingredients including cleaner and anti-freeze. My daughter believes that she smells windex in it.

It’s a washer fluid AND an oral debriefing agent!

It was anecdotally rumored during the Cold War that some Soviet pilots went blind after drinking their aircraft’s washer fluid because of its alcohol content. Imagine if they had had access to this stuff!

I reached out through the service chat and this was their response. I had mentioned the AutoGeneral glass cleaner 5620 and the concerns that it is not a windshield washer fluid and could possibly freeze. I think our best bet is to ask the service guys directly when we drop off or pick up from them. I would not be surprised if it is a mix of solutions.
