Web sites of the week

http://hubcap.clemson.edu/~ctyner/yoohoo/

This completely unofficial Yoo-Hoo Web page is a tribute to that chocolate drink created in New Jersey. We discovered it in 1969, when its salesman was Yogi Berra, and drank it to celebrate the New York Mets World Series victory. (One side note, don't pour it over someone's head, my former best friend lost clumps of hair afterward).
