LOL Do they even still make that stuff?! When I was about 20 my mom and
I went to visit her sister in Pennsylvania. I have a cousin who is
about my age. He took me to a "party" where his friends literally
served Riunite on the rocks. There's only one image in that old ad
showing Riunite with ice *in* the glass.

Mom and I went to see her cousin and his wife on that trip, too. We had
a lovely dinner followed by snifters of brandy after dinner. Much
better!
