I remember that show well; as Mike Collyer, son of the host Bud Collyer, was a grade schoolmate at Greenwich Country Day.

I actually met Bud Collyer face to face in this life.

"Thanks for the memories".

However, the fact that it contained 12% alcohol could possibly make you feel stronger and faster.
