A-and the thought of Cherry Coke somehow being involved was just too
revolting to contemplate.


>>>>Though it goes without saying that Wick's SURNAME also
allows an all-too-obvious sexual interpretation, I do have to report that
after school in the malt shop (or soda fountain) no special significance
of this type was ever attached to ordering that extra-squirt-of-what-
now-seems-quite-revolting-sweet stuff in one's coke. Some kids
just liked it that way. At least that's the way I remember it.
