Here is video of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" contestant Ken Basin getting the million dollar question wrong. He could have walked away with $500,000 but he took a chance and only walked away with $25,000. (Watch Video)

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

[drjimmy]

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.

[discostu]

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.

[ShadowAce]

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

[Clemenza]

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

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I always thought Radar drank Grape Nehi.

[savedbygrace]

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.

[count-your-change]

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

[a fool in paradise]

Chocolate Soldier?

[a fool in paradise]

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.

[DryFly]

How 'bout a Fresca!

[a fool in paradise]

Fresca would’ve been for the secretarial pool.

[jaydubya2]

What is the answer, please?

[Jeffrey_D.]

That was his preferred drink.
I think I remember an episode or so ... where he drank Yoo-Hoo.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Spoiler Alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

[edh]

“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.

[irishjuggler]

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.

[editor-surveyor]

He still ended up with way more than he deserved.

"Ya know what, I think I was thinking of Nestle’s 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.
