Coca

It was the early 1960s when my husband took my parents and me on our first trip to the “Big Apple.” It was such an exciting time and a good break from tending four young daughters.

Television and radio game shows were just beginning, and we were fortunate to participate on both. The Coca-Cola TV-sponsored show “Finders Keepers” was one that played music to give clues for finding something hidden. “When My Sugar Walks Down the Street” led me to the sugar canister, and I won the game. My choice of rewards was a cute, little white puppy or a watch. Thinking of my four little girls, and despite my husband’s objection, I chose the puppy.

Yes, the puppy was car sick all the way home. Nevertheless, seeing four excited little girls awaiting souvenirs, and the years of joy Coca contributed to our family, made all our efforts worthwhile.
