LBJ drank Fresca, you mook!
Advertisements [?]
I was just watching that newly retooled Millionaire show with Regis Philbin. Eh, its not that great. But I was interested because the contestant was up to the million dollar question. Just your typical young "educated" hipster, working to be a lawyer, I think? Cut some really close hairs (Don't ever take advice from Bill Nye the Science Guy) but he made it to the last question which was LBJ always had these drinks on tap (I think on AF1) Coffee, Tea, Coke, and what?

The choices were Yoo-hoo, V-8, Fresca, and something else.

The answer is Fresca. I knew it, but then again I am a history buff with a heck of a lot of time on his hands.:eyes:
But he didn't know that, he went with the audience who said Yoo-Hoo. :wow: Yoo-Hoo? LBJ, the 10 gallon hat Texan drinking Yoo-Hoo, come on. Boy did he literally melt into his seat after he got that wrong, bucked all the way down to 25 grand (poor thing:sarcasm: ) from a possible cool million because he didn't know Fresca.

Never hurts to learn some useless historical factoids. Never know when they may come in handy, eh?

Sorry, just had to ramble for a bit.

Would any of you have gotten the question?
