I'm reading a very good new book about John Candy. It includes a touching foreword from Dan Aykroyd, which is impossible to read without hearing his voice.
"When we first met, he was a Kleenex salesman with Kimberly-Clark, driving a company-owned brown four-door Pontiac sedan."
See what I mean?

I’m unsure why Presto supermarkets no longer exist. I suspect it may have something to do with the sinister tag line and the anthropomorphic penis used in their ads.
Coincidentally, I saw Anthropomorphic Penis play Glasto in ‘93.
