Remember the old Mapo commercial (maple flavored oatmeal)? There was this little kid who, after getting his first taste said, “I want my MAPO” , after that there was no shaking the little bugger... I see the union folks as the Mapo kid...

The Maypo bit was way, waaaay before my time :) I only knew it from grandma’s retelling. She was a living repository of 20th c pop culture and would have appreciated youtube. There’s the link to one of many Maypo vids.
