Yogi was teased by calls of yoo hoo when he was playing. He would rub his fingers together meaning money baby in response. Pro ball players did not make a lot of money in those days. Endorsements were a big sweetener.
“What’s Really in Yoo-hoo?”
according to the label,it contains chemical soup ... btw, this can’t be the original 1920’s concoction since most of these ingredients didn’t exist then ...
Chemicals and other awesome stuff. I love em. Hard to find, they come and go.
I’m not a New Yorker, but I love it.
I never liked it, either.
I liked Nestle Quick with fresh milk.
As a kid I’d put a lot of powder in it to choke a horse!🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Yeah...but the water has to be from the Passaic River. :-) Yum!
Water and the cheapest chocolate powder.
Yeah, it wasn't enough unless your thin chocolate mustache and beard rubbed off like a light, dried scab.
I loved scraping the residue off the bottom and licking it off the spoon!
Mind you didn’t stir the mixture too much!
Ahhh, the family dentist enjoyed seeing us walk into the door.
Cha-ching!!
