Anybody out there remember the "original" Gatorade, in those funky quart glass bottles? Only lemon-lime, and I remember it sure tasted a lot saltier than the stuff on the shelves today. Good stuff, though.

Ramen noodle guy, then the Rice-a-roni guy now Gator-ade guy. Sounds like a conspiracy. If I was the Lipton guy, I'd lay low.

I went to school with his daughter, she was a music major and played the piano. We use to talk alot about her Dad's massive Studebaker collection, so it's sad news.

Y'all have your priorities mixed up! Mr. Whipple died recently, and there was nary a word. You can keep your Gatorade, as long as I can have the mountain money.

Mr. Whipple, please don't squeeze the customers. We in G'ville are saddened by the death and are looking for someone else to taze.
