I used to enjoy looking at the institutional-sized cereal dispensers in the college cafeteria. Between the Trix and the Froot Loops, it was a psychedelic work of art!

I think Quisp was much bigger in the mid-west than it was out east.

In N.H. they're still big on Moxie in some towns so you will find Moxie in some N.H. stores. It's great if you like carbonated cough syrup!
