    @brenda, when I was growing up (as if I ever did, LOL), we would take trips from our home from suburban Chicago to various parts of the country. Frequently to Canada (to Toronto).

    As we rode in my father's 1957 Volkswagen bug, and later in my Mom's Buick LeSabre, we had a...well, a "receptacle" for those times when an 8 year old "just had to go" and they didn't want to stop. It was an emptied can of Hawaiian Punch (does that stuff even exist any more?). I remember taking relief in the empty punch can.

    "Hawaiian Punch" became a standing joke in our family.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Wiki: "Hawaiian Punch is a brand of fruit punch currently manufactured by Keurig Dr Pepper . . . containing orange, pineapple, passion fruit, guava and papaya, and is currently offering 14 different flavors since 2020. The drink is currently made with 3% fruit juice."

        From the Hawaiian Punch website: "In 1934, A.W. Leo, Tom Yates, and Ralph Harrison developed the first Hawaiian Punch recipe in a converted garage in Fullerton, California. They wanted a tropical-tasting syrup to add to their line of ice cream toppings sold under the trade name Pacific Citrus Products Company. "Leo's Hawaiian Punch," as the brand was called at the time, was sold to area restaurants, soda fountains, and ice cream manufacturers. The "Leo's" was dropped from Hawaiian Punch several years later. The main ingredients of the first Hawaiian Punch recipe were shipped from the Hawaiian Islands, thus the origin of the name. The U.S. Patent Office gave Leo's Hawaiian Punch its trademark on June 9, 1938."

            On my uncle's fishing boat, he'd hand me a bucket with water in it. He and I were fine with this arrangement. Didn't wanna stop fishin'.

                I'm just going to text them and ask if any have a need for something like this. Christmas would be a good opportunity.

                      Before the US 8th Army moved about an hour or two south of Seoul, they were located right in the middle of the city. Itaewon was a neighborhood very close to the base, and had a lot of Army-type bars. And, as most people know, the line for the woman toilet is usually longer than for the man toilet due to time to go to the toilet, etc. Someone told me that one of the bar in Itaewon was selling something like that to the woman to allow them to use the mens toilet. LOL
