For a few months, I used to be a quasi-famous 19th century Negro League baseball player according to Wikipedia.

Welch's has jumped on the bus and is taking out full-page print ads in People magazine this month that give readers a chance to sample its grape juice by licking the ad. Lawyers for Wonka Industries say they are looking into the ads for possible patent infringement issues and that the snozberries do indeed taste like snozberries.
