Your refreshing beverage, Mr. President

I was watching Who Wants to be a Millionaire yesterday and a contestant was able to work all the way up to the Million-dollar question and that question was:

For ordering his favorite beverages on demand, LBJ had four buttons installed in the Oval Office labeled “coffee,” “tea,” “Coke” and what? A. Fresca, B. V8, C. Yoo-hoo, D. A&W” Basin answered Yoo Hoo which was wrong, and lost the $1,000,000 prize money.

I thought it was an interesting tidbit of info.

Oh, man. I totally knew that one.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: LBJ was the crazy uncle of American presidents. Policies aside, I would be just like him. “More water pressure! Shut off those lights! I’ve named my dogs after pronouns! I named by daughter after myself! I don’t trust a man unless I’ve got his @#$%#$ in my pocket!”

  1. I was watching Millionaire last night, too, and saw that question. I got it wrong but yeah, it still was an interesting fact about LBJ.

  3. Sorry— The answer is Fresca. It’s in the headline of the link, but if you didn’t notice the link, you might not have clicked on it.

    EDIT: I’ve changed the style sheet to bold links in the content, so they’re easier to see.
