***  I just saw my favorite I love the 80s segment...the one about Lisa Lisa and the 
Cult Jam (featuring Full Force)!!!  Darrin, I have had the most amazing brainstorm.  I'll 
need your help.  Will email soon.

I have always thought of butterbeer as sort of like cream soda - but a slightly more 
butterscotch-flavored soda.  Popular with kids before they hit about 18-21 and their 
taste buds change somewhat (a physiological thing - has to do with stopping 
growing).  :-)

*** I agree with Felina's thinking on Butterbeer.  Even with the different cultural norms 
concerning the comsumption of alcohol in Europe, I don't see 13 year-olds being 
served any type of alcoholic beverage.  I hope the butterscotch thing is right on too.

*** Butterbeer and Bacardi.  Darrin....I think this sounds like a great combo for a 
Harry Potter drinking game (anytime Hermione says "honestely," anytime Harry's head 
hurts, etc...).

Alright....back to 1987, which just might be my favorite year of the series (woohoo, 
we're on 21 Jumpstreet now...)
