We once got metal filings in a 5 lb tub of Campy grease in the shop.
You can get a nifty little applicator with a push button that the Pedro's tubes fit right onto that lets you apply it with one hand - plus its really great for applying to tight spaces - only problem is that it continues to come out after you've taken your finger off of the trigger so no matter how careful I try to be I always get grease on other stuff too.
