Sorry, I don't know what Akua Sweets is. To munge is to mess with.
Originally specifically to mess *up*, I believe.
See <http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/M/munge.html>, also <http://
www.catb.org/jargon/html/M/mung.html>; it's unclear which came
first, though it seems likely that they are related. Mark was
probably using "munge", sense 3:
"3. To modify data in some way the speaker doesn't need to go into
right now or cannot describe succinctly (compare mumble)."
I always wondered how Munger() got it's name. Been in the Toolbox
since 64K ROM.
