I did not know that 

One of my favorite dishes growing up was pilaf, made in the traditional Armenian manner. My mother and I both use curly vermicelli sauteed in butter with rice and a broth. My Armenian grandmother, however, always used orzo. It's different that way, for reasons I can't quite explain. And that difference is probably why as well I never picked up on the idea that Rice-A-Roni was based on that same recipe. The Random Penseur, like myself, can't get the stupid Rice-A-Roni jingle out of his mind to this day (though not as pervasive as the Schaeffer jingle between innings of Red Sox games.)
Schaeffer is the one beer to have when you're having more than one
Schaeffer pleasure doesn't fade even when your thirst is done
The most rewarding flavor in this man's world
For people who are having fun
Schaeffer is the one beer to have when you're having more than one.
Somehow, I think this one doesn't pass muster with M.A.D.D. any more.
