    "one-person, one-straw"

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/6273618.stm

    When I was attending LA Tech, I had occasion to spend some weekends in RedStick. There was this place -- I forget the name -- where I went with some friends. We ordered what they called a "Scorpion's Bite" -- it was this really big bowl filled with what looked to me to be something like "jungle juice" with soda straws sticking out of it; the waitress sat it in the center of our table. At that point in time in my life's journey, I thot it was pretty cool.

    O.C., the "jungle juice" didn't look anything like what appears to be a bucket of pig swill in the article above. And the straws weren't nearly so long, o.c.

    I'm thimking Moon's or Mr. Ed's or Pat's Place could have made a fortune if they had promoted this concept ??

    Tonga Island in the old Twin City shopping center/mall in Monroe promoted their Scorpion's Bite in the 1970s.

    Tonga served one heck of a GREAT Cuba Libre in the very late '60's, best I remember.
