Shit! Yesterday I kept posting what Nick was about to say. Today you said exactly what I was going to bring up!

I'll never forget that. Those scanners had been in the supermarkets at least six years by then. Everybody was used to them. Georgie Senior was like "Wow, what's that? Lookie there, Babs. Ain't that something?" And the country just stopped, stared, mouths open and said "WTF?"

And then there on the other hand was Bill Clinton who loved McDonalds. Helluva contrast!
