I will have to get a jar of it the taste test. I do recall it as a brand i
used to get before March 2001, when we moved to Japan, but havent since
then. My memory of it's specifics is a bit dim other than I liked it.
Fridge space is probably why I havent gotten it since.

I ken ya! (grin, just funnin!). Dont worry, I be known to give
collywobbles to USA sorts not from the smokey mountains. Tis all the same
and yet'n we have our own ways of speakin' betimes. (Many USA folks here
wont follow that well either so don't worry. Translation, 'Don't worry,
I've odd use of words. We speak oddly in the mountains'). It's an area
settled early by Scotts and English then somewhat isolated from mainstream
USA so some habits of speach pertain still today that havent existed
elsewheres for a very long time. (Noted, 'elsewheres' slipped in, not
'elsewhere'. It's not a typeo but how it's said there. Elsewhere= 'specific
other place, elsewheres= 'other places, plural').

Collywobbles BTW are 'it's so different, it gives you goosebumps'. Them
there's collywobbles I be givin' some of Ya'alluns!

When I went to bootcamp for the Navy, my class was mostly southern gals. I
got named 'mouth from the south' on the first day because my lexicon was so
deep, half them girls couldn't follow me and man did i have trouble with the
one girl from Boston! We'd be speaking at one another with no ways to
understanding what one another was sayin'.

I no longer have a thick accent but thew Ozzies in Darwin, Brisbane, and
Townsville all *love* to feed me beer and watch me shift south of the mason
dixon!

Anyways, thats me. Just plain and simple sort. My oddities crops up when
least expected and I tend to not notice. (Yes i know, should be 'crop up').
