Thanks, Jan. I certainly haven’t seen it or any ads for it for many, many years. Fortunately, one or two of us Soupers are, shall we say… of sufficient longevity ;-)

You and me both, Tom. Of course, that also means some of our younger friends will read this and think, “I don’t get it.” C’est la vie ;-)

Thanks, Ilene. I have no idea if the ‘Drink Canada Dry’ commercials ran worldwide….. even if they did, I suspect only people of a certain erm… vintage… will get the gag. Glad you enjoyed. Terry
