Ya know what, I think I was thinking of Nestle’s Quick. I can admit I was wrong. I really thought it came out in the 90s because I remember drinking it then, then it wasn’t popular anymore. My mistake, either way, the guy should have taken the 500,000 grand and ran home with it
To: Federalist Patriot
The guy never would have even gotten to the million dollar question if he wasn’t a risk taker. My guess also was Yoo-hoo, since I remember drinking it in the 60s (and the commercials with Yogi Berra) and it just seems more like an LBJ beverage than Fresca, which I always think of as more a girly drink (though not as much as its diet soda partner Tab). That being said, I would not have gone for it without have more than just a guess to go on.

Yoohoo took a big jump in general availability and popularity in the late 80s, and again in the 90s, so you weren’t entirely out there.

Yoo Hoo was NOT made when LBJ was President. I remember drinking that stuff, it came out in the late 90s. Wrong. Corp. Radar O'Reilly drank YooHoo all the time in Korea in the late '50s.

The question;
For ordering his favorite beverages on demand, LBJ had four buttons installed in the Oval Office labeled “coffee,” “tea,” “Coke,” and what?
The four choices were;
A:Fresca B: V8
C:Yoo-hoo D: A&W

My parents drank Yoo-Hoo as children in the 1950s and early 1960s.

I always thought Radar drank Grape Nehi.

Absolutely. He was too smart by half.
BTW, Nestle introduced Ready-to-Drink Quik Chocolate Milk in 1984, so you’re much closer with that one. Nestle Quick Chocolate Powder goes back to the late ‘40s.

Lawyer, huh? Maybe he can sue for being asked questions he couldn’t answer, example: “Why is the beach so close to the ocean?”

Well I remember drinking root beer a lot in the 1970s in Texas.
Hard to say what anyone’s tastes would be.
Would’ve been harder if there’d been Lone Star or Pearl on that list.

Fresca would’ve been for the secretarial pool.

What is the answer, please?
To: Hillarys Gate Cult
That was his preferred drink.
I think I remember an episode or so ... where he drank Yoo-Hoo.

Spoiler Alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For those behind firewalls the contestant chose C: Yoo-hoo. The correct answer was A: Fresca.

“I guess your not a baseball fan? They should have traded
him for a case of Yoo Hoo.”
Please refrain from giving the Pittsburgh Pirates any more ideas.

The answer was Fresca. I thought Yoo Hoo was a dumb answer, as LBJ didn’t seem like the type to guzzle a chocolate kiddie drink. Not sure I’d have got it right either, though. I’d have probably guessed V8.
To: Federalist Patriot
He still ended up with way more than he deserved.

"
Ya know what, I think I was thinking of Nestles Quick." I'm 64 and don't remember a time when Nestle's Quick chocolate wasn't around. But I do remember that the strawberry flavor came out in the 60s.
