Thanks; that makes more sense than my best guess for etymology (sugar
and...) This is one of those situations where google and the OED both
failed for anything I could come up with...

However, googling for "spouse spice" has some interesting results; my
favourite being ourlittlequad.com: Polyamory for the Practical.

Anyhow.
