Final score: Blue 1, Yellow 5

I finally got around to drinking a can of dnL today (upside down 7up) and noticed that the green coloring comes from a mix of blue & yellow food coloring. This would've made a great St. Patricks Day offering. I was surprised to read about some people's (1 in 10,000) adverse reaction to Yellow 5 as explained on the Food Color Facts publication (on the International Food Information Council site).

.. and to think this came near the end of my screening of The Egg and I (1947) which is on the Ma & Pa Kettle, Volume 1 DVD. The movie stars Fred MacMurray & Claudette Colbert, who are upstaged by Marjorie Main & Percy Kilbride as Ma & Pa Kettle. This film debuted soon after World War II ended, and hearkens (did I just say "hearkens"?) back to a simpler time, of rural barnyard humor. Fascinating. Word is this eventually led to the TV series Petticoat Junction and Green Acres and (40 years later) to “The Simple Life.”
