Fresca: LBJ's Favorite Drinks
LBJ had four buttons for his favorite drinks installed in the Oval Office labeled coffee, tea, Coke and Fresca. Ken Basin from Los Angeles, CA, answered the question wrong on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire
The complete Who Wants to Be a Millionaire question on August 23, 2009 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.
LBJ Four Buttons
Lyndon B Johnson had four favorite drinks, Fresca was one of them. The others were coffee, tea and Coke. According to Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, LBJ had four buttons installed in the Oval Office. Imagine having a gizmo with buttons for your favorite drinks? All it takes is a push of the button and a drink appears! What a life!
Soda and Drink Recipes
So, how do these sodas relate to the Food & Drink world? Fresca, Yoo Hoo, V8 Juice and A&W Root Beer all have recipes for you to try. Some are classic old-fashioned recipes from the 50's, others are Copycat recipes you can make at home. There's even an awesome Fresca Cake with Maraschino Icing!
