Just a memory, Craig, but worthwhile and it speaks volumes of the deep undercurrent desire for regional / food issues. A hockey collector was offering $7000 well over 10 years ago if anyone had a 1950 Royal Pudding box with a free hockey card prize to cut out on the box back---that of legendary Gordie Howe. Compared to the value of Gordie's vaunted Parkhurst rookie at the time, the Royal Pudding Gordie Howe was a king-sized ruby, whereas the Parkie was a nice but cheap citrine. He wanted that regional Howe rarity something awful. I don't know if he ever got it, but he sure made his desire loud and clear. ---Brian Powell
