Gary Quackenbusch gave up Yoo-hoos for a year, according to the fryline at Chik'n & Biskit.

Who can say for certain? The truth comes in many sizes, and only one's own tummy knows the score. But enough of Gary Quackenbusch's dietary predilection.

A skinny girl with eyes like a Guernsey and a tangle of seaweed hair rang Gary's order up on more than one occasion. She was the reason behind his every decision.
